In less than 120 years an activity invented by one man to alleviate
winter boredom for a college gym class has evolved into a worldwide
multi-billion dollar enterprise. It is impossible for Dr. James
Naismith, basketball's inventor, to have envisioned the extent to
which his simple game would reach. Without major changes to his
original 13 rules, basketball is now played in more than 200
countries by people of all ages. Thanks to basketball, players like
Michael Jordan, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Larry Bird, LeBron James,
Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal have become some of the most
famous people in the world. The Historical Dictionary of Basketball
is a comprehensive account of all forms of basketball amateur,
professional, men's, women's, Olympic, domestic, and international
from its invention in 1891 through the present day. This is done
through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive
bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on
the people, places, teams, and terminology of the game."
