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.
Invented in 1891 by Canadian-American gym teacher James Naismith in
Springfield, Massachusetts, United States, basketball has evolved to
become one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports.
