This game played between two teams of five players each, the object being to throw a ball through an elevated basket on the opponent's side of a rectangular court. Players may move the ball by dribbling or passing with the hands. Basketball was developed in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a physical education instructor at the YMCA college in Springfield, as a way to condition outdoor athletes during the winter months. Today basketball is one of the most popular American sports and one the rest of the world has adopted.
The measurements of the court usually about 92ft(28m) long and 50ft(15m) wide. And it has a bottomless basket made of white cord net and suspended from a metal ring, 18in.(46cm) in diameter. Which is attached 10ft(3.05m) above the floor to a backboard made of fiberglass, wood, or other material. Players may throw, the propulsion of a ball by repeated taps or kicks(bounce), or shoot the basketball but may not run with it or kick it.
Basketball is primarily an indoor sport, played on a basketball court. Points are scored for passing the ball through the basket from above. The team with more points at the end of the game wins. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it or passing it between teammates. Causing physical contact(fouls) is not permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled. Basketball eventually became a professional sport and is one of the few women's sports which developed in tandem with men's. The modern rules for women's basketball become more similar to men's.
