James Naismith had a problem finding a sport that was playable inside during the Massachusetts winter for the students at the School. James Naismith wanted to create a game of skill for the students instead of a sport where strength counts the most. He needed a sport that could be played indoors in a small area. The first game was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals. Naismith joined the University of Kansas faculty in 1898, teaching physical education.

Quotes from James Naismith: 1.	Be strong in body, clean in mind, lofty in ideals. 2.	I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place. 3.	The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need. Those boys simply would not play 'Drop the Handkerchief.'
