Almonte 1891: James Naismith Basketball
Bskt_Almonte1891_Gry_12x12 $34.00Our 'Almonte 1891 Naismith Basketball' art print takes you back to the time when basketball was invented. Dr. James Naismith was a physical education teacher at the Springfield, Massachusetts YMCA. New England's winters were long so he invented a game that would keep his athletes busy and in shape. He hung peach baskets at each end of the gym and told the players to bounce and pass the ball down the gym and to throw it into the other team's basket. Although the game was a little 'rough' around the edges, the Almonte, Ontario native had invented a sport whose basic principles survive today.
