The 2008-09 NBA season is underway and so far last season’s champions, the Boston Celtics, are leading the pack, with last year’s Western Conference champs the LA Lakers a close second. It’s not a re-run of last season though – Portland fans are ecstatic that the team is currently 4th in the league, a huge leap from last season’s performance, which ended with the team in 19th place. According to ESPN.com’s Hollinger Playoff Odds, the Celts will be joined by the Cavs, Magic, Pistons, Hawks, Bulls, Nets and Raptors in the Eastern Conference, and the Lakers will be up against the Trail Blazers, Nuggets, Rockets, Mavs, Hornets, Suns and Jazz in the Western Conference. Of course, the season runs through April, so there’s still plenty of time for surprises and upsets. .

James Naismith invented the modern game of Basketball in 1891, while working at the Y.M.C.A. College at Springfield, Massachusetts. Triangle magazine in Springfield, MA first published the rules for basketball in 1892, and 18 students from the Springfield YMCA played the first official basketball game later that year. The University of Chicago played its first college basketball game, defeating the Chicago YMCA Training School 19-11, in 1894.
