BASKETBALL
A fun sport that everyone can enjoy! 🏀
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most
commonly of five players each, opposing one another on a rectangular
court, compete with the primary objective of shooting a basketball
through the defender's hoop while preventing the opposing team from
shooting through their own hoop. A field goal is worth two points,
unless made from behind the three-point line, when it is worth three.
After a foul, timed play stops and the player fouled or designated to
shoot a technical foul is given one, two or three one-point free throws.
The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but if
regulation play expires with the score tied, an additional period of
play (overtime) is mandated.
