Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, usually consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opposing team’s hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop elevated at each end. The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
Players advance the ball by dribbling (bouncing the ball while walking or running) or passing it to teammates. Each team has offensive and defensive roles, with the offense trying to score and the defense attempting to prevent scoring. The game involves various techniques, including shooting, rebounding, and defensive strategies.
Basketball is governed by specific rules, including regulations on fouls, violations, and game timing, and is played in leagues and tournaments at various levels, from amateur to professional. The sport has global appeal and is one of the most popular sports worldwide.
