Basketball
Basketball is a popular team sport played between two teams of five players each. The main aim of the game is to score points by throwing the ball into the opponent’s basket, which is fixed to a backboard at each end of the court. The team that scores more points wins the game. Players move the ball by dribbling, passing, and shooting. A normal basket gives two points, a shot from outside the three-point line gives three points, and a free throw gives one point. Basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith in the United States. Today, it is played all over the world and is known for its fast pace, teamwork, and exciting gameplay
