Basketball is a team sport played on a rectangular court, where two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a spherical ball through the opponent’s elevated hoop or basket. The game is played in four quarters, and points can be scored by making field goals from within the three-point line or beyond it, as well as free throws awarded after certain fouls.
The objective of basketball is to outscore the opposing team by managing possession of the ball, utilizing skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, while also employing defensive strategies to prevent the other team from scoring. Basketball emphasizes teamwork, agility, and coordination, and it is played at various levels, from recreational leagues to professional competitions, including the NBA (National Basketball Association) and international tournaments. The sport has a significant cultural impact and is played widely around the world.
