who devised the first set of rules in basketball
Rules of basketball In January 15, 1892, James Naismith published his rules for the game of "Basket Ball" that he invented:[1] The original game played under these rules was quite different from the one played today as there was no dribbling, dunking, three-pointers, or shot clock, and goal tending was legal.
Basketball (ball) Spalding was the first company to produce a basketball for official use. Company founder A.G. Spalding made the first dedicated basketball in the last years of the 19th century at the behest of James Naismith. It has produced basketballs since that time and has produced the NBAâ€™s official game ball since 1983. They also produce the balls for the Women's National Basketball Association and NBA Development League. The company also produces a wide variety of balls for the consumer market.
