Basketball is not an individual sport but a team sport. In a game of basketball, the two teams consisting of five players score by having a ball through a hoop. This hoop mostly elevated 10 feet above from the ground.

The game of basketball is played on a rectangular field called the basketball court with a hoop at each end of the court. This court is mostly divided into two sections through a mid-court line. A team scores two points whenever the team makes a basket. In a game of basketball, every team is assigned with a goal or basket to defend. This means that the other basket for any team is the scoring basket. After halftime, the teams switch goals and the referee tosses the ball between the two players from each of the team. The player who gets his/her hands on the ball tips it to the teammate. This phenomenon is known as tip-off.
