Basketbal

Basketball is a fast-paced team sport played on a rectangular court, typically indoors, between two teams of five players each. The objective of the game is to score points by shooting a ball through the opponent’s hoop, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is characterized by dribbling, passing, and shooting the ball, with teams also playing defense to prevent the opposing team from scoring. The sport is governed by a set of rules that outline gameplay, scoring, fouls, and player conduct. Points can be scored in various ways, with field goals worth two or three points depending on the distance from the hoop and free throws worth one point. Basketball emphasizes teamwork, strategic play, and athletic skill, making it a popular activity at amateur and professional levels worldwide.
