What is Basketball?
Basketball is a team sport in which
two teams of five active players
each try to score points against one
another by propelling a ball through
a 10 ft high hoop (the goal) under
organized rules. Basketball is one of
the most popular and widely viewed
sports in the world.

History of the game

In early December 1891, Dr. James
Naismith, a Canadian physical education
student and instructor at YMCA Training
School (today, Springfield College) in
Springfield, Massachusetts, sought a
vigorous indoor game to keep his students
occupied and at proper levels of fitness
during the long New England winters to
keep the students in shape.
After rejecting other ideas as either too
rough or poorly suited to walled-in
gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and
nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot
elevated track.

History continued
The first official game was played in the YMCA
gymnasium on January 20, 1892 with nine players
and the game ended at 1-0 with the game-winning
shot made from 25 feet, on a court just half the size
of a present-day National Basketball Association
(NBA) court. "Basket ball", the name suggested by
one of Naismith's students, was popular from the
beginning. By 1897-1898 teams of five became
standard.
By the 1950s, basketball had become a major
college sport, thus having the way for a growth of
interest in professional basketball.

the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that
it gets to the right player at the right time; can also be called
the Floor General
Shooting guard: Creates a high volume of shots on offense;
tends to guard the opponent's best perimeter player on defense
Small forward: Often primarily responsible for scoring points
via cuts to the basket and dribble penetration; on defense
seeks rebounds and steals

basket; on defense, plays under the basket (in a zone defense)
or against the opposing power forward (in man-to-man defense)
