Basketbal

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by throwing a ball through the opposing team’s hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court and has specific rules governing movement, scoring, and fouls. Players can score by making field goals, which are worth two or three points depending on the distance from the basket, or by shooting free throws, each worth one point. The objective is to outscore the opposing team by the end of the game, which is typically played in four quarters. Basketball emphasizes skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive strategies. It is governed by various organizations, with the NBA being one of the most prominent professional leagues.
