Frequently Asked Questions
Who invented basketball
While it isn't known exactly where basketball originated, it's widely believed that James Naismith (now Springfield College), was a teacher at the International Young Men's Christian Association's Training School (now Springfield College). Naismith created the basic rules and placed a peach ball on an elevated track. He split his class into nine teams and taught them the basics of his game called "Basket Ball." Original version had a soccer ball and two peach baskets attached to the gymnasium's ends. The goaltending was not allowed. Players could only shoot at a basket from below. It spread slowly across America. By the 1900s, basketball was a professional sport, with teams playing in large arenas. Today, it is one of the most popular sports in the world.
Which is the greatest free-throw shooter ever?
It is a question that is often debated by basketball fans. However, most agree that Stephen Curry of Golden State Warriors is undoubtedly the greatest free-throw sapper of all time. This fantastic player set the record for most 3-point conversions in a season with an incredible 402.
Karl Malone holds the record for making the most free throws in a single career with 9,787 of them succeeding. At 13,188 attempts, he has attempted 74.20% of all free throws.
What are Bird Rights in NBA?
"Bird rights", in the NBA, refers to a system that allows certain players to be resigned by their current teams for more money than any other. The rule was named after Larry Bird, a former Boston Celtics player who was the first one to take advantage of it. A team cannot exceed their salary cap to resign a player if that player has been with them for at least three consecutive years. Bird rights allow players who are not currently with the team to retain their status and earn a higher salary than what they would get from any other teams.
What's the time frame to become a NBA superstar?
It takes an immense amount of time and dedication to become a professional NBA superstar truly. A lot of hard work and physical conditioning are required to be a true NBA star. The average player spends between three and five year in college to perfect their skills before being eligible for the draft. Once drafted, players have to be able to perform in the NBA, get a starting position on their team, and win MVP awards or All-Star teams. For this to happen, you need more guidance and coaching from coaches and trainers. To become a NBA star is not something you can do in a matter of days or years. These accolades are only possible with dedication, dedication, and perseverance. Anyone can achieve their dreams and be a NBA star with the right mindset.
