Fun Fact
Originally, basketball was played with peach baskets, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each score. A hole was then drilled into the bottom of the basket, allowing the balls to be poked out with a long rod. In 1906, the peach baskets were finally replaced by metal hoops with backboards.
