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 basket. The game is played on a rectangular court, and the objective is to score more points than the opponent by shooting the ball into the opponent’s basket, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. Players can move the ball by dribbling (bouncing the ball while walking or running) or passing it to teammates. The game usually consists of four quarters or two halves, and the team with the most points at the end wins. Basketball emphasizes skills such as shooting, passing, dribbling, and defensive tactics, and it is governed by a set of rules that include regulations on fouls, violations, and scoring. It is a highly popular sport worldwide, played both recreationally and professionally, with organizations like the National Basketball Association (NBA) showcasing top talents and competitions.
