basketball

It is a sport in which two teams of five players each compete. The objective
is to introduce the ball (ball) into the ring (basket or basket) of the opposing
team, which is located 3.05 meters high. For this reason, basketball is
usually played by people of great stature.
This game was invented by Canadian physical education teacher James
Naismith in December 1891. Naismith sought to create an activity for
young people to perform in a closed gym during the winter.
Thus was born basketball, whose games currently last 40 minutes (four periods of 10
minutes each). The exception to this rule is the American league of the National Basketball
Association (NBA), considered the best in the world, whose games last 48 minutes (four 12-
minute periods). It should be noted that there are several different rules between the NBA
and the Federation International de Basketball (FIBA), the body that governs this sport
internationally.
