 Introduction
In basketball, every player has a job to do, and where
they play on the court matters a lot. Whether it's the
clever leader at point guard or the big guy under the
basket as the center, knowing these positions helps you
see how the game works. Let's break down the five main
positions and what each player does, highlighting the
different skills they bring to make a strong team.
