Basketball

Basketball is a team sport played on a rectangular court, typically indoors, where two teams, usually consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a ball through the opposing team’s hoop, which is elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game involves a combination of skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, as well as teamwork and strategy. The objective is to score more points than the opposing team within a set time limit or over a specified number of periods. The sport is governed by specific rules set by various organizations, the most prominent being the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). Basketball is widely popular globally, enjoyed at recreational, amateur, and professional levels.
