Nature and Background of Basketball

Basketball is the world's most well-liked team sports, wherein the target is to shoot a
ball through a basket horizontally positioned to earn points while following of rules. it's
played with two teams of 5 players played on a marked rectangular court with a basket
at each width. Its court has 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high

A field goal scores two points for the shooting team if a player is touching or closer to
the basket than the three-point line, and three points if the player is behind the three-
point line. The team with the foremost points at the top of the sports game wins, but
extra time could also be issued when the sport ends with a draw. The ball is advanced
on the court by bouncing it while dribbling or passing it to a teammate. It’s a violation
to maneuver without travelling, to hold it, or to carry with both hands then resume
double dribble.
History

This team sport was invented by James Naismith, Canadian clergyman, educator,
and physician in December 1891. The first ball used was a soccer ball played by nine
players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the walls. By 1897-
1898, teams of five became standard.
The game rapidly spread worldwide and to Canada and other parts of the world,
played by both women and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game.
U.S. servicemen in WWII (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries.
The first pro-league is that the National Basketball League created to guard players
from abuse and to possess a less rough game in 1898. The league lasted until five
years before disbanding; its demise spawned a range of loosely organized leagues
throughout America. Its first and greatest popular teams was the Original Celtics,
organized in New York City in 1915. The league played as many as 150 games a
season and dominated basketball until 1936.
In 1949, two subsequent professional leagues, the National Basketball League formed
in 1937 (and the Basketball Association of America (1946) merged to create the
National Basketball /association NBA. The Boston Celtics, led by their center Bill
Russel, dominated the NBA from the late 1950s through 1960s. Wilt Chamberlain, a
center for the Los Angeles Lakers, was another leading player during the era, and his
battles with Russel were eagerly anticipated. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, also a center,
came to prominence during the 1970s. Jabbar perfected his fame “sky hook” shot
while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and dominated the opposition.
Larry Bird of Boston Celtics, a Magic Johnson of Los Angeles Lakers are credited with
injecting excitement into the league in the 1980s through their superior skills and
decade-long rivalry. During the late 1980s Michael Jordan of Chicago Bulls rose to
stardom and helped the Bulls dominated the NBA during the early 1990s. A new
generation of Basketball stars, including Shaquille O’Neal of the Orlando Magic and
Larry Johnson of the Charlotte Hornets, have sustained, the NBAs growth in
popularity.
In 1959, a Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts. Its
roosters include the names of great players, coaches, referees, and people who have
contributed significantly to the development of the game.

Mechanics and Rules

1. Teams and Positions. Five players are assigned to opposing teams, with each
team made up of a point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward
and center.

2. Regulation Length and Shot Clock. In high school basketball, each quarter lasts
for eight minutes. If the score is tied at the end of the regulation, continuous
overtime period is played until a winner can be determined. Overtime last for four
minutes in high school basketball. Lastly, there is no shot clock in high school.
 3. Court Dimension. Overall, the court is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide. In high school
basketball this line is 19 feet, 9 inches away. The free throw line is 15 feet away
from the basket.

4. Fouls.
Personal fouls occur when defenders make illegal contact with their opponents. If
an opponent is in the act of shooting, free-throws are awarded. In high school, five
personal fouls warrant an ejection.
Technical fouls generally occur when a player behaves with unsportsmanlike
conduct.

5. Scoring. Each basket made in front of the three-point line is awarded two points.
Baskets from behind this line are awarded three points. You also received one
point for each made free-throw—taken without interference from the free-throw
lines. If you are fouled in the act of shooting beyond the three-point line, you will
receive three free-throws. If you make the basket while being fouled
simultaneously, the basket will count and you will receive one free-throw.

6. Dribbling Mechanics. The proper mechanics for dribbling a basketball require that
you keep the ball low and close to your body in order to make it as difficult as
possible for the defender to steal the ball.

7. Shooting Mechanics. To properly shoot a basketball, have your feet shoulder-width

apart and pointing directly toward the basket.

Skills to be developed in Basketball

A. Dribbling
Dribbling in playing basketball is a skill that a player
should master. It allows the player to move around the
basketball court while he or she is in the possession of the
ball. It is one way of allowing the player to advance with the
ball and make a score instead of passing it to a teammate to
shoot in the basket.

B. Rebounding
Rebounding is one of the most important aspects of
the basketball game which enables the player to jump
with power to get the ball as it bounces to the rim after
a failed shoot before it touches the floor. Whenever the
player grabs a rebound, he or she gains a chance to
shoot again the ball while the other team loses it.
C. Passing
One of the primary skills in playing basketball is passing. It is a skill that maximizes
the involvement of all players in setting up a play to earn successful shoots and
earn points for the whole team.

The types of pass are the following:

• Air pass travels between one player to another

without hitting the floor.
• Bounce pass is thrown to the floor so that it
bounces to the receiver.
• Chest pass is a pass originates from the chest
to the receiver’s chest
• Overhead pass is a pass that originates from
the forehead of the player.

D. Running

Running is a basic skill that a player should possess

in playing basketball. It provides the player a greater
chance to shoot the ball.

E. Shooting

The first basic skill to be learned in playing basketball is shooting. Every basketball
player loves to shoot the ball into the basket. Players spend a good time of their
practice on shooting drills to improve their skills.

Remember the BEEF

(Balance, Eyes, Elbow,
Follow- Through) when
shooting the ball.
