BASKET BALL
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of 5 players try to score points against one another by throwing or "shooting" a ball through the top of a basketball hoop under organized rules. A regulation basketball hoop is comprised of a rim 18 inches in diameter (45.72 cm) and 10 feet high (3.048 m) as well as a backboard. Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world.
Points are scored by throwing (shooting) the ball through the basket from above. The team with more points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) may be issued when the scores of both teams are the same. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it ( dribbling) or passing it between teammates. It is a violation to walk with the ball or carry it. Disruptive physical contact (foul) is penalized, and free throws will be issued if an offensive player is fouled while shooting the ball.Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of 5 players try to score points against one another by throwing or "shooting" a ball through the top of a basketball hoop under organized rules.

SPORTS
A sport is commonly defined as an organized,competitive, and skillful physical activity requiring commitment and fair play. It is governed by a set of rules or customs. In a sport the key factors are the physical capabilities and skills of the competitor when determining the outcome ( winning or losing). The physical activity involves the movement of people, animals and/or a variety of objects such as balls and machines. In contrast, games such as card games and board games, though these could be called mind sports, require only mental skills. Non-competitive activities such as jogging and rock-climbing, are usually classified as recreations.
Physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first often define the result of a sport. However the degree of skill in some sports such as diving, dressage and figure skating is judged according to well-defined criteria. This is in contrast with other judged activities such as beauty pageants and body-building shows, where skill does not have to be shown and the criteria are not as well defined.
