A strange little side quest
Fun Basketball belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. The earliest basketball games used peach baskets, and Naismith wrote 13 original rules for the new indoor sport. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
