Today In Sports History (March 11, 1892)

On this day in 1892, the first public game of basketball was played in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was played at the Armory Hill YMCA, and the game gathered a crowd of around 200 people. The game pitted students against teachers, where the students came out victorious in a 5-1 effort. Fast-forward over a hundred years, and it is nearly impossible to imagine the sports world without basketball, specifically the NBA. Thank you James Naismith
