A strange little side quest
Basket Fall may feel immediate, but the ideas around basketball have been evolving for a very long time. Basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891 at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. And the history keeps stacking up: Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. So a round of Basket Fall is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer basketball timeline.
