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 elevated hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court, divided into two main sections. Points are scored by shooting the ball from different positions on the court, with different point values assigned to shots made from various distances, such as two-point or three-point shots.
The objective of the game is to outscore the opponent by making the most successful shots within a set time limit, divided into quarters or halves. Basketball is governed by specific rules covering aspects such as dribbling, shooting, passing, and fouling. The game emphasizes skills like teamwork, strategy, agility, and coordination.
Basketball is popular worldwide and is played professionally, in schools, and recreationally. It is recognized for its fast pace, athleticism, and scoring excitement, making it a significant part of sports culture, particularly in countries like the United States.
