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 elevated hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop at each end. Players advance the ball by dribbling (bouncing the ball while moving) or passing it to teammates. The primary objective is to outscore the opposing team within a set time limit, usually by shooting the ball from various positions on the court, including three-point shots, two-point field goals, and free throws. Basketball emphasizes skills such as shooting, dribbling, passing, and defense, and involves strategies for both offense and defense. The sport originated in the United States in the late 19th century and has since evolved into a popular global sport, with professional leagues such as the NBA, as well as international competitions. The game’s appeal lies in its fast-paced nature, athleticism, and the spectacle of skillful plays.
