Basketball is a popular sport today.
It is a team game with 5 people in each team. Take turns drawing a ball and thrust it into the net to let the ball pass. That is scoring 1 point for your team.
Players push the ball by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or by passing it to a teammate, both of which require considerable skill. When attacking, players can use a variety of pitches in lay-up, jumping or dunk; when defending, they may steal the ball from a dribbler, intercept or block a shot for a field goal; offensive or defensive actions that may be replayed, that is, a missed shot bouncing from the rim or board. It is illegal to lift or pull the pole without dribbling, carrying the ball or holding the ball with both hands and then continuing to dribble.
It was so popular it became a competitive game all over the world.
