4About it

A basketball is a bouncy ball with a pebbled skin for grip and dark grooves, called channels, running around it. The game was invented in 1891 by James Naismith, a teacher in Springfield, Massachusetts, who nailed up two peach baskets as the first hoops.

Tap it for three fast, low dribbles, then a toss onto the fingertip of a robot hand, where it spins until the hand drops away and it bounces down. A full-size ball is about 75 centimeters (29.5 inches) around. Pick its color in the Splash tab.
