What is the History of Basketball?

Basketball has its origins in the United States. As a sports teacher, James Naismith was looking for a sport that his students could play indoors during the winter months. In 1891, he invented basketball and organized the first game. Since then, basketball has continuously evolved and gained worldwide acceptance.

What are the Basic Rules of Basketball?

There are important elements that determine the dynamics and flow of the game of basketball. It is important that players follow these rules and keep the game organized. The basic rules of basketball are as follows:

Putting the ball in the basket: The main objective of the game is to score by putting the ball into the opposing team's basket. A point is scored when the ball touches the basket.

Dribbling: Players move around the playing field by dribbling or holding the ball in their hands. During dribbling, the ball must hit the ground hard.

Carrying time: The player can carry the ball for a certain amount of time while dribbling. This time is usually set at 5 seconds. The ball must be passed or shot before the time runs out.

Offense time: Once a team has possession of the ball, they must attack within a certain time limit. This time is usually 24 seconds. It is important not to shoot, lose the ball or commit an offensive foul before time runs out.

Fouls In basketball, a foul is an illegal contact to impede the movement of an opposing player or to gain possession of the ball. Fouls are counted against individual players or teams and fouls that reach a certain limit are penalized.

Rebound: The act of a player grabbing the ball after a shot in the offensive or defensive zone. A rebound can be made by both offensive and defensive players and gives the team a second shot.

Free throw: The team penalized for a foul is awarded a free throw. Free throws are used to prevent the fouled player from scoring or when the ball leaves the court.

Playing time: The playing time in professional basketball usually consists of 4 periods, each period lasting 12 minutes. However, in youth and amateur leagues, different periods may be used.

Passing: In basketball, players attack by passing the ball to each other. Passing allows the team to move forward quickly and overcome the opposing defense.
