Basketball is a fast-paced team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opponent’s elevated hoop. The game is played on a rectangular court with a hoop at each end. Points are scored by making field goals worth two or three points, depending on the player’s distance from the hoop, or by free throws worth one point. Players advance the ball by dribbling or passing, and the game emphasizes skills such as shooting, dribbling, and defense. Basketball is governed by a set of rules that dictate how the game is played, including fouls, violations, and gameplay structure, including quarters and time limits. The sport is popular worldwide, with professional leagues, international competitions, and grassroots programs increasing its visibility and participation.
