AB Basketball  is  a  sport  that  requires  strength,  power,  and  agility.  Athletes  of  all  ages  and  skill  levels  play  the  game.  It  can  be  played  as  an  organized  sport  or  recreationally,  such  as  pickup  games.  Basketball  dates  back  to  1891,  when  Dr.  James  Naismith  created  an  indoor  recreational  game  to  be  played  in  the  winter.  The  game  originated  with  a  leather  soccer  ball  that  was  thrown  into  two  peach  baskets.  Women  formally  began  playing  the  sport  at  Smith  College,  and  the  first  rules  for  women  were  adopted  in  1903.1  Basketball  was  played  for  the  first  time  as  an  Olympic  sport  in  1936.  One  of  the  most  significant  changes  in  the  game  of  basketball  over  the  years  involves  the  jump  shot.  Prior  to  1950,  all  shots  were  taken  with  one  foot  on  the  ground.
