  Thanks to bikes, it is more convenient for us to go around the city. With the help of cameras, we can take a lot of beautiful photos. Umbrellas can protect us from rain or rainy days. With the help of these inventions, our life is more wonderful and colorful. Thanks to James Naismith, we can play basketball in our free time. James Naismith invented basketball for his students over a hundred years ago. Basketball became an Olympic event in 1936. Playing basketball can help us keep healthy. Now it is a popular sport around the world. Many people play basketball or watch basketball games on TV.
