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 opponent’s hoop, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular court with a hoop at each end. Players can advance the ball by dribbling (bouncing the ball while moving) or passing it to teammates. Points are scored by shooting the ball through the hoop, with different types of shots earning varying points; shots made from beyond a specific distance called the three-point line earn more points than those made closer to the hoop. Basketball emphasizes skills such as shooting, dribbling, passing, and defensive strategies to prevent the opposing team from scoring. The game is governed by a set of rules that dictate how players can interact with the ball and each other, making it a fast-paced and dynamic sport. Basketball is popular worldwide, with professional leagues such as the NBA and numerous international competitions.
