Slamdunk! 13 year old Neshaa from Chennai is a huge basketball fan and tells us about it. What’s your favourite sport? Tell us!
I love sports, especially basketball. I started playing basketball when I was 11 years old. I love to play the game because it is good for my health.
I used to play it in the school playground with my classmates, and I miss that now.
Playing basketball helps us improve motor coordination and flexibility. James Naismith, a Canadian-American sports coach
invented basketball.
After moving to the United States, he wrote the original basketball rule book and founded the University of Kansas basketball program. His story is fascinating. Despite coaching many great coaches, he himself did not have a winning record.
I really enjoy basketball.
