History of Basketball

Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. The concept of basketball was born out of his early school days when he played a simple game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith served at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, and this is where the sport of basketball was born. Naismith was faced with the challenge of finding a sport that was suitable for play inside during the winter for the students. Naismith wanted to create a game of skill that could be played indoors in a relatively small space. The very first game of basketball was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals. After that, he devised a set of rules for that early game and basketball was created.

Striving Love
Written and Composed By: Jomar Panaligan

I can’t overcome my feelings on you.
Its resistance can’t avoid you.
I don't know how it is, I'm not so sure.
How I can define it, if I'm lure?

Let's start in Optics, it's your beauty.
In different angles, you're pretty.
Even focal length cannot define.
My reflection of love isn't a wine.

Mechanics is all about motion.
Machines that control my emotions
Newton, Joule or any expressions
My love is an impulse, "collision".

Now it's clear to me, this blurred things.
Any physicist can’t explain it.
You define me as a human being.
My pure love for you is infinite.
