Basketball is a fast-paced team sport played on a rectangular court where two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opposing team’s hoop. The game involves a combination of running, jumping, dribbling, passing, and shooting. Points are awarded for field goals made from within the court, with three points given for shots made from beyond a designated arc. The objective is to score more points than the opponent within a set time limit, usually divided into quarters. Basketball emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and athleticism and is played both recreationally and professionally around the world. It originated in the late 19th century and has since grown into one of the most popular sports globally, featuring leagues such as the NBA (National Basketball Association) in the United States.
