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 net, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop at each end. Players score points by making field goals, which can be worth two or three points, depending on the distance from which the shot is taken, and by free throws, which are awarded after certain fouls. Basketball emphasizes skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork. The sport is governed by rules that cover gameplay, fouls, and violations. Basketball is popular worldwide, played at various levels, from amateur to professional, with leagues such as the NBA (National Basketball Association) being among the most recognized. The game promotes physical fitness, coordination, and strategic thinking.
