it was way back in the middle ages when they had a basket and a ball. The game was much different then but it is still the same concept, getting the ball in the basket. Sir Treson Basket invented it

The standard size of a basketball in the NBA is 9.5 to 9.85 inches (24.1 to 25.0 cm) in diameter. In the NCAA, the diameter of a basketball cannot be larger than 30 inches, and women's basketballs are no larger than 29 inches.

The inside of a basketball is made of rubber, and the outside is made of leather or synthetic leather. Its physical properties are that it is hollow and spherical when inflated.

He used a soccer ball at first then he changed it.

Famous basketball player.

They are good to a point. They can increase vertical leap, but the best drills to do are: jumproping w/ jumpsoles, running up stairs w/ jumpsoles, lunges, bounds, and jumping up and down as many times as possible while touching the net/backboard/rim.

because of convection currents and the warm air rises and the cold air sinks down causing the Basketball to not bounce as high

The desks fit only two people and were able to lift up, they were made out of wood and weren't very smooth. The classroom wasn't very big, they were in cabins and up high. The teacher didn't have any whiteboards they only had chalkboards and chalk.

The stationary equipment such as pencils were practically the same and same with rubbers and other stuff. But some of they're books were made out of different type paper. They supplied all the equipment for free and it was all payed for by the government. To be a member in the school as a student was also very cheap as the government helped with that too. (I know this isn't about the equipment but if they were naught they'd get smacked by the teacher, whipped by a cane or a metal chain would be rubbed against the disobedient studens wrist.)

Depends on how cold you can get it. Most materials get more brittle when they get colder, and this also applies to a basketball. However, putting them in a freezer won't be enough for anything to really happen. But if you have access to liquid nitrogen, then a basket ball can be cooled to the point where it will shatter if dropped.

depending on the hoop it varies but i have a 60 in hoop and i had to put it 4 feet deep by 16in

10 Feet from the ground to the top of the rim.

The free throw line is 19 feet from the baseline, 15 feet from the backboard, and 12 feet from the front of the rim.

Hamilton suffered a broken nose 3 time and needed surgery to repair it. He wears the mask to prevent another injury. Hamilton said in an interview with IGN Sports: "I continued to wear the face mask for protection. It was not something that I did to help me concentrate on the court at all. I continued to wear it because I felt comfortable and I didn't want to re-injure it. It was a decision I made to be safe while I'm on the court playing."

No, NBA hoops are single rimmed . The indoor hoops for anywhere whether its at school or basketball court or anyplace you can play indoor basketball are normally single rimmed.

The easiest way to fix a backboard that a guy paid to build and he did it wrong, is to remove the Spalding basketball hoop from the backboard. You can then attach it to a new backboard, that is not tilted forward, and you won't have to be sick and tired of a bad backboard anymore.

I believe they can if they are more of a perimeter shooting type of a power forward, for example I wouldn't be surprised if a power forward like Dirk Nowitzki type wears one.

Lines on a Basketball The reason why there are lines on a basketball is to improve a player's grip making it easier to dribble and shoot the ball.

The lines on basketballs make them easiar to grab and hold, allowing players to shoot, dribble, and pass better.

Yes. Every league allows has to allow it because it is a an act of player boostering.
