Basketball was created in 1891 by James Naismith with 13 original rules. The five positions on a basketball court are point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Michael Jordan is considered the best player of all time, having led the University of North Carolina to a national title before being drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, leading them to six NBA championships. Proper basketball shoes are important for injury prevention and performance, as improper shoes can increase risks of ankle injuries or slips.
