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 off the ground. The game is played on a rectangular court with a 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, and free throws, which are worth one point each. Players can pass, dribble, and shoot the ball to advance it and score against the opposing team. The primary objective is to outscore the opponent within a regulation time frame, usually divided into quarters. Basketball emphasizes skills such as dribbling, shooting, and teamwork and is governed by a set of rules that define gameplay, fouls, and scoring. It is a widely popular sport worldwide, both at amateur and professional levels.
