The correct answer is YMCA
So why is this answer correct? : James Naismith created basketball in a gym at Springfield College, then known as the International YMCA Training School. After the YMCA’s first public basketball match in 1892, the sport spread through its global network, then to colleges, and finally led to the formation of a professional league in 1898. In the mid-1970s, the YMCA partnered with the NBA to create the Youth Basketball Association.
