James Naismith was first and foremost a physical educator who embraced
recreational sport but shied away from the glory of competitive
athletics. Naismith was an intense student, collecting four degrees
in the diverse fields of Philosophy, Religion, Physical Education
and Medicine. Although he never had the opportunity to see the game
become the astonishing spectacle it is today, Naismith's biggest
thrill came when he was sponsored by the National Association of
Basketball Coaches (NABC) to witness basketball become an Olympic
sport at the 1936 Games held in Berlin.
Naismith became famous for creating the game of basketball, a stroke
of genius that never brought him fame or fortune during his
lifetime, but enormous recognition following his passing in 1939.
For his historic invention, Naismith's name adorns the world's only
Basketball Hall of Fame, a tribute that forever makes James Naismith
synonymous with basketball. |
Be strong in body, clean in mind, lofty in ideals.
--Dr. James Naismith, the father of basketball.
