The Geography of Basketball.

Basketball is a sport that started when a PE teacher wanted his student to play a sport where they is limited contact but more on shooting and running and after some time the made up game was told around the country and became a real sport.
In these posts I just wanted to talk about the geography of basketball and in this one I will be talking about how a basketball is made and what goes into making it as well as stadiums and what it takes to make one. The outer layer of the basketball is made from leather, synthetic rubber. So on the inside of the ball there is another ball that acts like a bladder and hold the air without letting the air get out anywhere. The bladder is made from rubber, and the carcass is made from treads of nylon or polyester. 
when making a basketball court there are certain factors that you need when designing one as if the type of wood is strong enough for 10 players and 3 referees to stand on as well as if the the ground is flat when laying the concrete and you also need engineers to make the area that goes around it.
