Basketball is one of the most popular branches of competitive sports.
It is based on two 5 player teams playing against eachother on an asphalt surface. The goal of the game is to score more points to the opposing group. A point comes into account when a basketball hits the rim and gets through it.
The game was created in the late 19th century though there are theories about ancient versions of it in several ancient cultures in history.
The best league in the world is the NBA – national basketball association, which is a league between north American cities – from the US and Canada. It is divided to east and west.
