 Basketball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basketball is a sport in which two teams of five players each try to score points by throwing a ball through a hoop (the basket) under organized rules.
Teams also have a coach, who oversees the development and strategies of the team, and other team followers such as assistant coaches, managers, statisticians, doctors and trainers.
Basketball is unique in that it was invented by one person, rather than evolving from a different sport.
