About the Basketball

Basketball is a fast-paced team sport played by two teams of five players each. The objective of the game is to score points by shooting a ball through a hoop that is 10 feet high and mounted on a backboard.

The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Basketball requires a combination of physical skills, such as dribbling, shooting, and jumping, as well as tactical awareness, teamwork, and court sense.

From the excitement of a last-second buzzer-beater to the thrill of a fast break, basketball is a sport that is loved by millions of people around the world.
