Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by throwing a spherical ball through the opposing team’s hoop, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop at each end. Players advance the ball by dribbling (bouncing the ball while running) or passing it to teammates. Points are scored in various ways: a field goal from within the three-point line counts as two points, while a shot from beyond the three-point arc counts as three points. Free throws are awarded after certain fouls and are worth one point each.
The sport emphasizes key skills such as shooting, passing, dribbling, and defense. It is governed by specific rules, including violations like traveling, double dribbling, and fouls, which can result in free throws or possession changes. Basketball is widely played recreationally and professionally, with major leagues such as the NBA (National Basketball Association) in the United States. The game promotes teamwork, physical fitness, and strategy, making it popular worldwide.
