Basketball

Basketball is a popular, fast-paced team sport played by two teams of five, aiming to score by throwing a ball through a 10-foot-high hoop. Invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, it is played on a rectangular court, indoors or outdoors, focusing on dribbling, passing, and shooting. Points are awarded (1-3) based on shot location and free throws, requiring high agility and teamwork.
