Basketball invented by Canadian James Naismith at a YMCA in New York (or Boston?) in late 1800's. Interesting story really. About three pages in one of my Bathroom Readers.

Ball sports are not my strong area, but I guess I get a 50% chance of getting it right!

Interesting, would have thought volleyball was younger than that.
