Basketball

Basketball is a highly technical and extremely exciting sport for both participants and spectators. Basketball is a team sport which involves 10 players, 5 players in each side.

Length of the game is four 10-minute quarters. There is a 2 minute break between the 1st & 2nd, 3rd & 4th quarters, with a 15 minutes break at half time. Any overtime periods are 5 minutes.

Each team tries to score by shooting a ball through the top of a basketball hoop while following a set of rules.  The game is played on a rectangular floor which is called a court. The court has divided in to two sections and there is one hoop in each section which each team needs to shoot in to opponent hoop to get a score.

There are two types of scoring rule in basketball which are two points and three points, if the player is shooting the ball through the hoop from close distance is two points score and if the player is shooting from three points line the score will count on three points.  Each team with the highest point is the winner of the game. Basketball is one of the world’s most popular viewed sports.

Basketball in my opinion is one of the best things I can do with my friends to have fun while burning a few calories. I see basketball as a fun and easy way to have fun. One reason I love basketball is because you need only yourself to play the game or, you can play with teammates. One thing I love about basketball is that people have many different styles of play. There are styles such as a passer, playmaker, shooter, defensive player, and dunker or highflyer. Playing Basketball is very entertaining since there are endless ideas you can think of just with a hoop and a basketball.

Basketball is a great way to get your mind off things and is also a great way to express yourself. It is a sport that can work your whole body. It’s a great pastime for any one and is a great way to bond with family members and friends.
