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 opponent’s hoop, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular court with a netted hoop at each end. Points are scored by making field goals, which are worth two or three points depending on the distance from the hoop, or by free throws, which are worth one point. The objective is to accumulate more points than the opposing team within a fixed time period. Originating in the late 19th century, basketball emphasizes skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and team strategy. It is played professionally, collegially, and recreationally around the world, making it one of the most popular and widely followed sports globally.
