Basketball is a team sports in which two teams of 5 players try to score against one another by placing a ball through a 10 foot basket. Points are scored by shooting the ball through the basket from above and swishing the nylon. The team with more points at the end of the game wins, but additional time, a.k.a overtime, may be issued when they tie at the end of the game. The ball can be advanced on the court by dribbling the ball or passing it between teammates. You cannot carry or walk with the ball, and disruptive physical, foul, is penalized, and free throws will be issued if an offensive player is fouled while shooting the ball.
Through time, basketball has developed to involve many common techniques of shooting, passing, and dribbling, as well as player positions, and offensive and defensive structures. There are 5 kinds of positions, Center, Power Forward, Small Forward, Shooting Guard, and Point Guard. The tallest player on the team usually plays as the Center, tall/strong plays as Power Forward, shooters play as the Shooting guard, and playmakers, sometimes leaders, play as the Point Guard.
Basketball has developed through the years; it became big all over the world. People play basketball not just for fame and money, but also for fun.
