EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The First Game of Basketball" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the birth of one of America's most beloved sports. The drawing depicts an indoor gymnasium, where a group of men in athletic attire are engaged in an intense game on a court marked with lines and a basket. In this historic scene, we witness the players running across the court with agility and determination. It is fascinating to observe how different this early version of basketball was compared to its modern counterpart. The absence of dribbling and limited physical contact highlight the evolution that has taken place over time. One cannot help but notice Dr. James Naismith, credited as the inventor of basketball, observing his creation from the sidelines. As an athlete himself, Naismith understood the importance of physical education and sought to create a new sport that would engage both mind and body. The image captures not only a significant moment in American sports history but also showcases how far basketball has come since its humble beginnings at turn-of-the-century gyms like this one. This artwork serves as a reminder that even great achievements start small, highlighting Naismith's ingenuity and vision for creating such an enduring game loved by millions around the world today.
