Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opposing team’s hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court with a hoop at each end, elevated 10 feet above the floor. Points are scored primarily by making field goals, which are worth two or three points depending on the distance from the basket, or by making free throws, worth one point each.
Basketball combines elements of agility, speed, and strategy, requiring players to demonstrate skills such as dribbling, shooting, passing, and defending. It is played in various formats, including professional leagues, college competitions, and recreational play, and is governed by specific rules set by organizations like FIBA (International Basketball Federation) and the NBA (National Basketball Association). The sport is popular globally and has a significant following, with events such as the Olympics showcasing its highest levels of play.
