I am writing about basketball. Basketball is a sport that consists of two hoops each ten feet high,and a ball. You have to bounce the ball or dribble when you move. You shoot the basketball and try to get it in the rim with people trying to stop you. Each team has 5 people. A point guard or a floor general. A shooting guard a lot of times the scorer. The small forward, he does the spots
that's
too small for a forward but too big for a guard. A power forward, the guy who plays big. He and the center get down and dirty. The center is the big guy. He takes the tip and is bigger than everyone else. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins.
Basketball has a very interesting origin. It was created by Dr. James Naismith. It started off as a basket where you throw peaches in. Then the problem of getting the peaches down had arisen. So they put up a net instead of the bottom of the basket. It evolved later into the great sport we know.
Basketball has some interesting rules. It has the simple and obvious rules like fouls and out of bounds. Also the traveling rule. You must bounce the ball while moving. But some interesting rules like backcourt violation. You can't go back across half court once you pass it.
The most evolved version of basketball. The NBA or the National Basketball Assoscioation is the biggest basketball league. It is easiely in the top four leagues in USA. It has 30 teams, all but one are in the USA. It has shown great players like Michael Jordan up to now LeBron James. It is a spectacle to watch.
Basketball is amazing. Basketball was just a basket and a peach that soon grew to be one of the worlds favorite games. It has unique rules while not forgetting the obvious. It has shown some of the greatest athletes in the world. Basketball is a great sport.
