The Americans had been unbeaten ever since the International Olympic Committee allowed professional players to compete in the Barcelona Olympics of 1992. Appropriately named the dream team, the National Basketball Association (NBA) stars cruised to an easily gained gold medal, annihilating everyone who stood in their way. They repeated their exploits again at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 and at Sydney in 2000. The United States has paid less attention to the largest, most prestigious international basketball event, the world championship, held every four years since 1952. The United States won the championship for a third time in 1994 but fielded a team of college players in 1998, when the event took place in Athens. Yugoslavia was the eventual winner that year. But with the championship being held in its own backyard in a state that epitomizes the passionate culture of high-school basketball, how could the United States not compete with an NBA cast of stars?

Home Sports Basketball General Menu Basketball Definition and History Basketball is a ball sport in which two teams of five players each try to score points by throwing a ball through a hoop. Basketball is highly suited to viewing by spectators, as it is primarily an indoor sport, played in a relatively small playing area, or "court," with only ten players, and using a large ball which is easy to follow. Additionally, the lack of protective gear makes it easy to see the reactions of the players. It is one of the most popular sports in the United States, and is also popular in other parts of the world, including South America, Europe, Asia, and the former Soviet Union. Early History of Basketball Interestingly, while the YMCAs were responsible for developing and initially spreading the game, within a decade they were discouraging the new sport, as rough play and rowdy crowds seemed to detract from what they saw as their primary mission. Other amateur sports clubs, colleges, and eventually professional clubs quickly filled the void. In the years before World War I, the Amateur Athletic Union and the Intercollegiate Athletic Association (forerunner of the NCAA) vied for control over the rules of the game. Basketball was originally played with a soccer (or foot-) ball. When special balls were made for the game they were initially a "natural" brown. It was only in the late 1950s that Tony Hinkle - looking for a ball that would be more easily noticed by players and spectators alike - introduced the orange ball now in common use.

Basketball Oasis: Basketball History Add a Site Modify a Site What's New What's Cool ... Search Early basketball Basketball is unusual in that it was invented by one man, rather than evolving from a different sport. In 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian minister on the faculty of a college for YMCA professionals in Springfield, Massachusetts, sought a vigorous indoor game to keep young men occupied during the long New England winters. Legend has it that, after rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules, and nailed a peach basket onto the gym wall. The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20, 1892. "Basket ball", the name suggested by one of his students, was popular from the beginning, and with its early adherents being dispatched to YMCAs throughout the United States, the game was soon played all over the country. Interestingly, while the YMCA was responsible for initially developing and spreading the game, within a decade, it discouraged the new sport, as rough play and rowdy crowds began to detract from the YMCA's primary mission.
