One of the best sports in the world today is basketball. It is truly an international sport and worldwide it is the second largest spectator sport in the world after football. One of the most popular and watched sports on the planet.
Basketball is played in many different countries, including the United States (where the sport originates) and China. It is therefore a true Olympic sport. Basketball is an important team sport that is played at a fast pace. People passionately follow their favorite teams and there is always a great rivalry between teams from different cities and countries.
The strongest league in the world is undoubtedly the NBA, which includes a number of very strong and powerful teams. Since my family is spread across a lot of the United States, we tend to follow the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. Many of the best players in the world play in the NBA. They come from everywhere. Players are paid for the best goal, so they have to be among the best in order to compete in the biggest number 1 league. The standard of quality and excellent game play is very high.
The US game is slightly different from every other country in the world, including Europe and the rest of the world. It is 8 minutes longer overall. He tends to be faster with a much higher average number of points scored in each game. Most games are wildly exciting and tend to be fast-paced with non-stop action.
International games are played with 4 quarters of 10 minutes with a total of 40 minutes while NBA games are played with 4 quarters of 12 minutes with a total of 48 minutes. There is a 15 minute break at half time with 2 minutes allowed for the other breaks.
Each basketball game is played between 2 teams of 5 players who try to score points against each other. The goal at each end of a pitch is 10 feet high (3048 meters). You can pass; bounce (dribble) the ball. Physical contact is penalized. The other team receives 1 or 2 free throws. He can score 3 points with a long-range shot, 2 points with an average basket, and 1 point with each free throw made.
Basketball is an excellent team sport that can be played both indoors and outdoors.
Make sure you enjoy the sport and have a lot of fun.
