Basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891 to engage students during winter. Initially, it involved peach baskets and a soccer ball. Over time, the game evolved with the removal of basket bottoms, introduction of backboards, and standardization of ball size and color. The court is divided into defense and attack zones, with specific player roles. The game is played in four quarters, with scoring based on shot location. Fouls are categorized into behavior and contact, with specific rules to prevent unfair play. Basketball became an Olympic sport in 1936 and is now globally popular.
