Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by throwing a ball through the opposing team’s hoop or basket, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular court with a hoop at each end.
Points are scored in various ways: a field goal made from inside the three-point line is worth two points, while a field goal made from beyond the three-point line is worth three points. Free throws, which are awarded after certain fouls, are worth one point each.
Basketball emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and skill, requiring players to excel in areas such as shooting, dribbling, passing, and defense. The sport is governed by a set of rules established by organizations such as the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
Basketball has a significant cultural impact and is popular worldwide, with professional leagues, collegiate competitions, and extensive youth programs contributing to its widespread appeal. The game promotes physical fitness, coordination, and social interaction.
