Basketball is a popular team sport played by two teams of five, with the objective to score points by shooting the ball through a hoop. The game was invented in 1891 by James Naismith and has specific rules, such as scoring via field goals or free throws, and is governed by referees and officials. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the premier professional league, featuring highly paid athletes and a structured roster of players.

2. Basketball
Basketball is a handball team usually played by two teams of five players. The
objective is to get the ball through a hoop mounted high up on a backboard at
each end.
Basketball is a very popular sport worldwide, played with a round, orange ball
that bounces. The game is played between men's teams or between women's
teams. Basketball has been played in the Summer Olympic Games since 1936.
The shot clock rule started in 1954.

3. History Of
Basketball
In early December 1891, James Naismith, a Canadian physical education teacher at Springfield College in Springfield,
Massachusetts invented an indoor game called basketball. He invented the sport to keep his students from becoming
bored during the winter. Naismith wrote the basic rules and then nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot tall pole.
Unlike modern basketball hoops, the bottom of the peach-basket was still there, so after a point was scored, somebody
had to get the ball out of the basket with a long stick. Over time, people made a hole at the bottom of the basket so the
ball could go through more easily.

4. Rules
The aim of basketball is to score more points than the other team, by shooting
the ball in the basket. Baskets can be worth 1, 2, or 3 points. You get points by
shooting the ball into the opponents' basket. The team with the most points at
the end of the game wins.

6. Teams
Basketball is played with two teams, with 5 players from each team on the court at one time. The maximum
number of players on the bench differs by league.
In international play, a maximum of 7 players are allowed on the bench, resulting in a roster of 12 players. The
NBA has 13-player rosters, college and high school teams have 15-player rosters.
When a player wants to substitute for another player on the court they let the score bench know. The referees
will signal for the player waiting to come into the court. The player that went into the game is now playing and
the player that was playing is sitting on the bench.

7. Playing
Regulations
A game of basketball is made up of four quarters, each ten minutes long. At the start of
every game the referee throws the basketball up in the air, and one player from each
team tries to hit it to their teammates, that is called a "jump ball."
At the start of each quarter the team who has the possession arrow pointing towards
their hoop gets the ball. After four quarters, the team who scores the most points wins.
If the two teams score the same number of points, there is a five-minute "overtime" to
see who can score more points.
While playing the game, players on one team try to stop players on the other team from
scoring. Each normal score is worth two points; however, if a player throws the ball into
the hoop from behind the large arced line on the court, called the "3-point line," the
score is worth three points.
If you do something illegal in the game, it is called a "foul." If you foul someone on the
other team while he is shooting the basketball, the player who was fouled gets to shoot
"free throws" from the "foul line” . A free throw is a shot that no one is allowed to try to
block. Each successful free throw is worth one point.

8. Playing Regulations
If you foul a player who is not shooting, the other team gets the ball, and can throw
it in bounds from the sideline. Players can do three things with the ball, dribble the
ball, pass the ball to a teammate, or shoot the ball at the hoop. The player with the
ball tries to keep the ball and not let the other team get it.
Once a player commits five fouls, he is no longer allowed to play in the game, and a
player on the bench must go in the game immediately. Are very simple!

9. What Is NBA?
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the world's top men's professional basketball
league. It is one of the major professional sports leagues of North America.
The NBA is one of the 4 major North American professional sports leagues. NBA players are
the world's best paid athletes. There are 30 teams, 29 are in the United States and 1 is in

10. Referee
A referee is the person of authority in a variety of sports who is responsible
for presiding over the game from a neutral point of view and making on-the-
fly decisions that enforce the rules of the sport, including sportsmanship
decisions such as ejection.

11. Officials Definition
In a game of basketball there are a number of people who are not from either team, that are there to help. They are called officials.
Officials are very important because without them the game would not run as efficiently.

12. Umpire
There are either one or two umpires in a game of basketball. It is the umpires' job to make the game
more fair by enforcing the rules of the game. The umpires take into consideration the spirit and intent
of the player before making any call. In the NBA and WNBA, the term "umpire" is not used; the person
who has this role is called the referee.

13. Time
Keeper
There is one timekeeper whose job is to keep track of
the time and to tell the umpires when time for each
quarter has run out. He is also in control of adding
the scores onto the scoreboard.

14. Scorekeeper
There is one scorekeeper whose job is to keep track of
and record all points scored, shots attempted, fouls
made and timeouts called.

or told to by an umpire. This person needs to have good reflexes and quickness, as he has to quickly
reset the timer when the game resumes.

Free throw is a basketball throw from the free-throw line from
either personal, technical, unsportsmanlike or disqualifying
fouls. Each free-throw made is worth one point.

20. Personal Foul
Personal foul is any contact, committed by a player of the other team, thought, by the
umpires, to have caused a disadvantage.

21. Technical
Foul
Technical foul is a violation of certain basketball rules. They include fighting or, entering the court
when it is not a substitution time, being away from the court to gain an advantage, having too many
players on the court, refusing to sit on the bench, returning to play when a player is disqualified,
yelling or swearing at another player or an official.

22. Assist
Assist is to pass a teammate the ball, which then the teammate immediately
shoots into the basketball ring successfully. 2-3 dribbles are allowed after
catching the ball for assist to be counted.

23. Double
Dribble
Double dribble is when a player dribbles the ball and picks it up and
then dribbles it again without having shot or passed it.
Dribbling the ball with two hands is also a double dribble. If a player
double dribbles, the ball is automatically given to the other team.

24. What Is
Shot Clock?
Shot clock is a clock designed to limit the time a team has to shoot a basketball. The shot clock is different in different
leagues, but it is usually between 24 seconds and 35 seconds. After time runs out, the ball is automatically given to the
opposing team unless they shot, before the clock runs out, and hit the rim or the ball enters the basket.

25. Backcourt Violation
Backcourt violation is when a player crosses the half-court line and walks backwards over
the line while in possession of the ball, or passes to another player who is behind the half-
court line. Note that this rule does not apply if a defensive player taps the ball, and it goes
beyond the half-court line, and the offensive player retrieves it in the "backcourt".

27. The Basketball Hall Of Fame
If a basketball player becomes extremely good at the sport and well known for playing, coaching, or helping the game of basketball somehow,
he or she is "elected" to be in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
This is the goal for the greatest basketball players and coaches in the world. If you are "enshrined" in Springfield, it is the greatest honor a
basketball player, coach, official or contributor can have. It means you are the best of the best at basketball.

28. Wheelchair Basketball
In this variation the players are all seated in a wheelchair. This is often played by
people who cannot walk or are unable to play able body basketball properly. The
rules are altered slightly but the game follows the same general concepts.
