### Instruction: Who invented basketball?
### Response: James Naismith designed the game of basketball in 1891 while he was teaching at the International YMCA Training School. On 15 January 1892, James Naismith published his rules for the game of "Basket Ball" that he invented. The original game played under these rules was quite different from the one played today as there was no dribbling, dunking, three-pointers, or shot clock, and goal tending was legal.
