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 above the floor at each end. Points are scored by making field goals, which can be worth either two or three points depending on the distance from which the shot is taken, and by making free throws, which are worth one point each. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Basketball involves various skills, including dribbling, shooting, passing, and defense, and is known for its fast pace and high-scoring nature. The sport is played both recreationally and professionally worldwide, with notable leagues including the NBA (National Basketball Association) in the United States. Basketball has a significant cultural presence and is associated with various communities and values, such as teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.
