 BASKETBALL = Bask! Be Tall!

Picture
James Naismith
It all started with a physical educator from Almonte, Canada named James Naismith. 
​
It was 1891 when Naismith was given 14 days to fulfill the order by the head of physical education Dr. Luther Gulick of the YMCA International Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts to come up with an 'athletic distraction' for the bored boys confined indoors by the harsh weather.


Naismith's design resulted in the first game of 'basket ball' being played on December 21, 1891 using a soccer ball and two peach baskets.  The baskets were about 10 feet high off the ground rigged to the railing of the gallery, with 13 basic rules and the teams were made up of nine versus nine.
The two numbers 14 and 21 mentioned above were in the birth chart belonging to James Naismith.  The were there as measurements for two celestial bodies in the heavens at the time of his birth, as follows: 
  • His Jupiter was 21° Virgo and
  • his Sun was 14° Scorpio.
It's interesting to see that we find these numbers as measurements in his own birth chart for the Sun and the planet Jupiter.  The Sun is rules over sports games and Jupiter, along with Mars the athelete.

December 10th, 2010 the original typed pages of the 13 basic rules to the game were auction by Sotheby's of New York and caught an impressive 4.3 million by David Booth so that the rules could be housed in University of Kansas.

Below are some fun numeric facts taken from the Birth Chart of the NBA compared against the Game itself.

The NBA began on June 6, 1946 in New York, I set their birth chart for Sunrise on that day.  How apt is it that Mercury measured 082° of celestial longitude and that the boys play 82 games in a season.  082° of the ecliptic is 22 degrees of Gemini and a 3 pointer starts at 22 feet away from the basket.

There are always 5 starters and 5 minutes of OT if a tie and Neptune holds 5 degrees of Libra in the birth chart.

Three planets, Mercury, Mars and Saturn hold 22nd degree of their respective star sign signatures.  Basketball Hall of Famer, Clyde Drexler, wore the number 22 and was named one of the basketball's fifty greatest players as of 1996, he was also born on June 22, in 1962.
