Basketball is a team sport played on a rectangular court, typically indoors, where two teams, usually consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opposing team’s hoop, which is elevated 10 feet above the floor. The game is played with a spherical ball, and players can dribble the ball (bounce it while moving) or pass it to teammates.
Scoring can occur in various ways: a field goal, worth two points if taken from inside the three-point line, or three points if shot from beyond that line. Free throws, awarded after certain fouls, are worth one point each. The game consists of four quarters, and the team with the most points at the end of regulation time wins.
Basketball emphasizes skills such as shooting, passing, dribbling, and defensive tactics. It requires teamwork and strategy, with players often taking on specific roles based on their size and skill set, such as point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, or center. The sport is highly popular worldwide and has a significant professional presence, particularly in leagues like the NBA (National Basketball Association) in the United States.
