Basketball

Basketball is a team sport, the objective being to shoot a ball through a basket horizontally positioned to score points while following a set of rules. Usually, two teams of five players play on a marked rectangular court with a basket at each width end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports.


There are a lot of basket competitions in different categories:


-minibasket
-infantiles
-cadetes
-juniors
-seniors


there are a lot of competitions like the FIBA, NBA, ACB or NCAA
This competitons are proffesionals competitions and the level of this competitions is very high.


The only essential equipment in a basketball game is the ball and the court, but almost good clothes and good shoes.
The positions in a basketball team are:


  1. Point guard: usually the fastest player on the team, organizes the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right time.
  2. Shooting guard: creates a high volume of shots on offense, mainly long-ranged; and guards the opponent's best perimeter player on defense.
  3. Small forward: often primarily responsible for scoring points via cuts to the basket and dribble penetration; on defense seeks rebounds and steals, but sometimes plays more actively.
  4. Power forward: plays offensively often with their back to the basket; on defense, plays under the basket (in a zone defense) or against the opposing power forward.
  5. Center: uses height and size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on defense), or to rebound.
My favourite player is kobe bryant because he plays in my favourite team (Lakers) and I like his movements and his form to play.
I think he is one of the better players I have ever been, but the best player I have ever been is Michael Jordan, he is the leyend of basket.
