Answer:

Basketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891 by James Naismith when he fixed peach baskets to the walls of the play area. The game gained recognition when during WWII, U.S. servicemen helped spread basketball around the world by playing the game in different theaters of operation. As the game grew in popularity, the first professional league was established and called the National Basket Ball League.
