GermanNounBasketball m. Category: de:SportsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by placing a ball through a 10 foot (3.048 m) high hoop (the goal) under organized rules. Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world. Points are scored by throwing (shooting) the ball through the basket from above; the team with more points at the end of the game wins. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it (dribbling) or passing it between teammates. Disruptive physical contact (foul) is penalized and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled (violations). Through time, basketball has developed to involve common techniques of shooting, passing and dribbling, as well as players' positions, and offensive and defensive structures. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play center or one of two forward positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed, play the guard positions. While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. In some countries, basketball is also a popular spectator sport. While competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport, played on a basketball court, less regulated variations played in the outdoors have become increasingly popular among both inner city and rural groups.

Q. i know basketball is a team sport, but each position is unique and specialize in certain things that other positions don't. So, what position on a basketball team do you consider to be the most important? and why? Asked by KS - Sat May 9 14:43:10 2009 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'd say center. Red Auerbach always said that if you are building a championship team, you need a great center. Who am I to argue with genius? I think PG is an important position as well. However, I don't think you need a great PG to win a championship. I think you just need a good floor leader that makes good decisions and gets the ball to the open man. Derek Fisher wasn't a great PG during the Lakers 3 peat. Rondo wasn't a great PG last season. Stockton and Kidd never won a championship. Of course there are exceptions to winning without a great center. The Bulls never had one during their dynasty. But, I think it makes winning a lot easier, when you have a dominant big man.
