Basketball
About
Basketball is a popular team sport where two teams of five players score points by shooting a ball through an elevated hoop, or basket, at opposite ends of a rectangular court. It's a fast-paced game involving dribbling (bouncing the ball), passing, and shooting, requiring agility, speed, and coordination to outscore the opponent by getting the ball into their basket.
