Košarka

Košarka is the term used in the context of basketball, a popular team sport where two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opponent’s hoop or basket. The sport is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop elevated at each end. Originating in the United States in the late 19th century, basketball has since gained worldwide popularity and is governed by specific rules established by various organizations, including FIBA (International Basketball Federation) and the NBA (National Basketball Association) in North America. The objective of the game is to accumulate more points than the opposing team, which can be achieved through field goals or free throws. The sport emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and individual skills such as dribbling, shooting, and passing.
