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 opponent’s hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop at each end. The objective is to score more points than the opposing team by making field goals, which are worth two or three points depending on the player’s distance from the hoop, and free throws, which are worth one point each.
The game involves various rules governing player movement, ball handling, and scoring. Players can advance the ball by dribbling or passing, and defensive players attempt to prevent scoring by blocking shots, stealing the ball, or rebounding missed shots. Basketball is known for its fast pace, high scoring, and emphasis on teamwork, strategy, and skill. It is governed by organizations that enforce standard rules, such as the National Basketball Association (NBA) and international bodies like FIBA. The sport is played recreationally and competitively worldwide at various levels, from amateur leagues to professional competitions.
