Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opposing team’s hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court with a hoop at each end. Points can be scored in various ways: a field goal (basket made from inside the three-point line) is worth two points, while a shot made from beyond the three-point line is worth three points. Free throws, awarded after certain fouls, are worth one point each.
Basketball emphasizes skills such as dribbling, shooting, passing, and defense. The game is governed by specific rules including the dribbling and shooting skills, as well as the violation of traveling and personal fouls. It is widely popular globally and is played at various levels, from amateur to professional, with significant leagues such as the NBA (National Basketball Association) in the United States.
