A DAY IN  THE LIFE OF THE BASKETBALL AND HOW LONG DOES IT TO DECOMPOSE...?
 

THE HISTORY OF 

BASKETBALL...

The basketball was invented by James  Naismith and   December 1891.He organized this sport to be used indoors and outdoors. Basketball is mixed with all the other sports such as football, soccer, and hockey in some way. A lot of U.S colleges started to use this sport and liked it very much. In 1934 a lot of games were stationed at Madison Squre Garden for the first time. By the time the 1950's this became a major sport.

 

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE BASKETBALL STORY......

Hi, my name is tracy and I am in toys r us as we speak. I wish that I could just get out of here and be bought by someone so I wouldn't be lonely. I want to bounce all over the place and see children happy with me. I am a basketball and I am round shaped, my face has black lines and I have bumps all over my body. It protects me from sharp knifes and scissors that children or even adults may accidently use and if they do I will pop or bust or lose myself slowly which is not good at all.

I was born on 1891 to my father James Naismith and he was a physical education instructer who created me!! I am made of synthetic rubber, compostion or leather. The leather that is used to make me is  tanning of hides and skins of animals, primarily cattlehide. The tanning process converts the putrescible skin into a durable, long-lasting and versatile natural material for variouars uses. After I am dummped in the landfill I take 12 to 20 years to decompose which is man made. Other types of rubber can last forever in good condition. If its a basketball it will be popped sliced or cut........
