They played with two peach baskets that were hung with a nail at the YMCA.  They had 13  rules to play the first basketball game They played with 18 players.  That seems like a lot of players to have on the basketball court.  A player named Williams R. Chase made the ball in the peach basket and he was the first player to score in a basketball game.  The named their new name sport  basketball.  One of the earliest NBA teams was Celtic's, the year was 1914.
