OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC

Basketball is a crew sport, where there are two teams of five players each
simultaneously playing on the same court. The game is also commonly referred
to as hoops. The inventor of this game meant to keep the sports indoors. But
later on basketball popularized as an excellent outdoor game and is played
today in all major sports events, like the Olympics and the Paralympics and that
is why basketball is a very competitive game.
The game basketball continues to conquer the attention of the entire
world due to its characteristics and fast phase type of the game and numerous

return the ball easily.

on March 11, 1892.
