i read about it in the complete idiots guide to basketball the first basketball goal was made out of a peach basket,pole and a soccer ball- alex
they get white leather and paint black strips and orange
the backboard is behind the basketball hoop
it was way back in the middle ages when they had a basket and a ball. The game was much different then but it is still the same concept, getting the ball in the basket. Sir Treson Basket invented it.
it was fun
