Basketbal

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a spherical ball through the opponent’s elevated hoop. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop at each end. Points are scored primarily through field goals, which are worth two or three points depending on the distance from the hoop, and free throws, which are worth one point. Players advance the ball by dribbling or passing, and defensive players try to prevent scoring and regain possession of the ball. Basketball is governed by specific rules regarding fouls, violations, and game structure. It is a popular sport worldwide, known for its fast pace and emphasis on teamwork, athleticism, and skill.
