Basketball is a team sport played between two teams, usually consisting of five players each, on a rectangular court. The objective of the game is to score points by shooting a ball through the opposing team’s hoop, which is elevated 10 feet above the floor. Points can be scored in various ways: field goals are worth two points (or three points if taken from beyond the three-point line), and free throws are worth one point each. The game is played in four quarters, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
Basketball combines physical skills such as dribbling, shooting, and passing, with strategic elements such as teamwork and positioning. It is governed by a set of rules that regulate how the game is played, including violations like traveling or fouling. The fast-paced nature of basketball encourages quick decision-making and agility. The sport is popular worldwide, with professional leagues, international competitions, and a significant following at amateur levels.
