Wiki Commons. Dr. James Naismith was the Canadian-born physical education instructor who, inspired by a teaching assignment and his own childhood, invented basketball in 1891. Naismith was born in Almonte, Ontario and educated at McGill University and Presbyterian College in Montreal.
...in 1891, the first game of basketball was played at what is now Springfield College. He designed basketball to occupy a class of disagreeable male students at the Springfield YMCA, who were bored with the calisthenics and children's games in their gym class. The game attracted players and fans almost immediately.
