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 hoop. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop elevated at each end. Players can pass, dribble, and shoot the basketball to move it towards the opponent’s basket while defending against the opposing team’s attempts to score. The objective is to accumulate more points than the opposing team, with points scored by making field goals (generally worth two or three points depending on the distance) and free throws (worth one point). The sport emphasizes skills such as shooting, dribbling, passing, and teamwork, and it also involves defensive strategies to prevent the opposing team from scoring. Basketball is widely popular globally and is played at various levels, from informal pickup games to highly competitive professional leagues.
