Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of 11 players on a grass field with a 22-yard pitch at each end. A bowler from one team tries to get a batsman from the opposing team out by bowling the ball at the wicket, while the batsman defends the wicket and scores runs by running between the wickets. The team with the most runs at the end wins. Cricket originated in England and is popular in Commonwealth countries like India, Pakistan, and the Caribbean.

Basketball was created in 1891 by James Naismith with 13 original rules. The five positions on a basketball court are point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Michael Jordan is considered the best player of all time, having led the University of North Carolina to a national title before being drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, leading them to six NBA championships. Proper basketball shoes are important for injury prevention and performance, as improper shoes can increase risks of ankle injuries or slips.
The first game of basketball was played in 1891 at Springfield University and was invented by Canadian James Naismith.

Over time, the rules and equipment evolved, with metal hoops and nets replacing the peach basket in 1906. Today, basketball is played professionally in the NBA by 30 teams competing over a season for the championship title.
