PRESENTATION OUTLINE
HISTORY
- The basketball wasn't invented until 1894
- Before they were invented early players used soccer balls
- James Naismith called Spalding and asked them to make a ball specifically for the sport the result was a leather ball held together by laces and was 4 inches bigger than a soccer ball
CHANGES OVER TIME
- Over the years basketballs have went from basically balls of leather to being specialized for certain uses
- For instance an indoor basketball is made of full grain leather and is usually very slippery when first used and requires breaking in
- An outdoor ball is made of rubber and is basically broken in already and is usually ready to use right out of the packaging
- Theres also indoor/outdoor ball hybrids which are usually a combination of of the two materials and have enhanced grip so they can preform adequately in the gym and outside
BENEFITS
- It makes the sport seem more legit
- Its fun to dribble when your bored
- It basically helped shape modern basketball/players
HOW IT MAKES LIFE EASIER
- Think about this for a minute how many times have you just dribbled a ball because its fun
- Now picture this you picking up a soccer ball instead
- Now imagine this your a ball player and your teams not so good and the soccer team has practice when you have a game now you have to forfeit a game having two separate things is a way better alternative
