1.) What is Basketball?

Basketball is a sport, generally played by two teams of five players on a

rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches
(46 cm) in diameter and mounted at a height of 10 feet (3.048 m)
to backboards at each end of the court.

A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket being
defended by the opposition team during regular play. A field goal scores three
points for the shooting team if the player shoots from behind the three-point line,
and two points if shot from in front of the line. A team can also score via free
throws, which are worth one point, after the other team is assessed with certain
fouls. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional
time (overtime) is issued when the score is tied at the end of regulation. The ball
can be advanced on the court by throwing it to a teammate, or by bouncing it
while walking or running (dribbling). It is a violation to lift, or drag, one's pivot foot
without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then
resume dribbling.

2.) History of Basketball..

The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891 in Springfield,

Massachusetts by Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as a
less injury-prone sport than football. The game became established fairly quickly,
very popular as the 20th century progressed, first in America and then throughout
the world. After basketball became established in American colleges, the
professional game followed; the American National Basketball Association (NBA),
established in 1949, grew to a multibillion-dollar enterprise by the end of the
century, and basketball became an integral part of American culture.

3.) Facilities and Equipment

*The Backboard and Rim

The regulation height above the ground for the rim (hoop) is 10 feet,
and the rim is 18 inches in diameter. Backboards are 6 feet wide (72
inches) by 42 inches tall, with the inner square being 24 inches wide
by 18 inches tall.

*The Foul Line

For all size courts the 'foul line' is 15 feet in front of the backboard.

*The Key

The key is 12 feet wide, and is the same for all basketball courts. The
backboard extends 4 feet out over the baseline into the key. A half
circle of diameter 6 foot extends from the foul line away from the
basket to complete the key.

*The 3 Point Line (Arc)

For NBA Basketball Courts the 3 point arc is 22 feet to the center of
the rim on the sides with a straight line extending out 16 feet 9 inches
 from the baseline. Past those points the line extends out 23 feet 9
inches from the center of the rim.

*Line Markings

All line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide and can vary in color.

*Ball

This is what players used.
