Basketball | | Basketball is one of the most popular sports among fans of all ages and is currently one of the most widely viewed sports. Founded by James B. Naismith, basketball started originally as a college sport and has since then grown rapidly in popularity. Over the course of time, many leagues, both amateur and professional, have been established allowing men and women of all ages and skill levels to become engaged in this sport. In 2008, basketball teams will make up approximately 13 percent of franchised sports in the U.S., therefore providing many job opportunities for one to become involved in the basketball sport industry. | | | |
