He was challenged to create the game that could be played indoors during the winter to provide an athletic distraction. Dr.James Naismith was inspired by the game duck on a rock. In the game duck on a rock you should lob a rock on a duck. Dr.James Naismith wanted to create a game with skill instead of strength. He created basketball. The basket ball hoops weren't hollow or like today but instead it was a metal basket or just a normal basket. People had to go up ladders to retrieve the ball.
