Dr Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them how to play his new game.The aim of basketball is for players to get a ball into the "basket";a new hanging from a metal hoop.Plays shoot from below the basket and may use the "backboard" for guiding the ball into the basket.Players move towards one end of the court while throwing the ball to each other.
