Basketball
Basketball was invented by a Canadian, Dr James A. Naismith, in 1891. What began with a bunch of his students and a peach basket suspended in the air has become a fast-paced exciting sport with the world's tallest athletes. After a 48-year absence two Canadian teams finally joined the now misnamed National Basketball Association in 1995, the Toronto Raptors and the Vancouver Grizzlies, who did about as well as could be expected in their first season, though the Raptors, with huge star Vince Carter, look like the team more on the upswing. The NBA consists of 29 teams divided into two conferences, Eastern and Western, which are further divided into two divisions. The Toronto Raptors play in the Central division of the Eastern conference and the Vancouver Grizzlies compete in the Midwest division of the Western conference. Teams play an 82-game season with 41 home games in a season that lasts from November to April - tickets cost from $10 to $130
