Basketball

Basketball was invented to bring outdoor games inside. The game has changed since its origination and is now played both indoors and out. There have even been several adaptations to the game most notably 3-on-3 and street basketball. It is a very physical game, but still involves grace and coordination. It can be an excellent way to vent or relieve stress. Basketball is truly a game for everyone because you can change it to fit your style. You don’t have to play by the official rules; you can just play whenever, wherever.
