Basketball

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 elevated 10 feet above the ground at each end. Players can move the ball by dribbling (bouncing the ball while moving) or passing it to teammates.Scoring can be achieved through field goals, worth two or three points depending on the distance from the hoop, and free throws, which are worth one point each and awarded after certain fouls. The game is played in timed quarters or halves, and the team with the most points at the end wins.Basketball emphasizes skills such as shooting, dribbling, passing, and defensive tactics. It is a widely popular sport worldwide, known for its fast-paced gameplay and athleticism.
