Question

Basketball was invented in the United States in 1891.
Nowadays, it’s one of the most popular indoor sports in
America. Millions of fans crowd into gymnasiums to watch
their favorite teams, and millions more watch games on
television. Also, thousands of elementary schools, high
schools, colleges and universities have their own
basketball amateur teams. The finest male players
compete as professionals in the National Basketball
Association (NBA).
Basketball is a fast and entertaining sport played
between two teams, each consisting of five players. A
team wins games by scoring more points than the
opposing team. Players score by shooting a large inflated
ball into a raised goal, called a basket, at one end of a
basketball court. A player can move the ball toward the
basket only by bouncing it or passing it to a teammate.
Each team also tries to prevent the other team from
scoring.
Basketball is not only an organized team sport, but
also a popular form of recreation. Both young people and
adults enjoy playing on neighborhood playgrounds, in
backyards, in alleys, and on driveways. As few as two
players can play; all they need is a ball and a basket.
