The Evolution of Basketball in the USA

In this research paper we will talk about the evolution of basketball in the USA, how technology has changed the sport through times and how it has been implemented in the ball, the rules, the scores, and the players.

From New York to London, to Paris, to Beijing. It’s played in the city parks of New York, the dusty plains of Africa, and the expensive designed courts of the NBA. The game is played wherever someone can get a ball, and a mounted ring-like object. Unlike other sports that require multiple people and a lot of equipment, Basketball only requires a Ball and the willingness to play. But profesional basketball needs more than that like modern technology for the ball, and firm rules.

A ball done well symmetrically gives you better support in the shot, pass, rebound, etc. If the ball is comfortable for your hands, you will feel mas comfortably at the moment of playing.

Chapter 3 – The rules

The rules thanks to God have not been changed, but of equal form for the small players it is possible to be easy to forget them. As soon as you you learn them you have mas freedom at the moment of playing.

Basketball is a team sport. Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line. If the offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line, it has ten seconds to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the defense gets the ball. Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in the area in back of the line. If it does, the defense is awarded the ball.

The ball is moved down the court toward the basket by passing or dribbling. The team with the ball is called the offense. The team without the ball is called the defense. They try to steal the ball, contest shots, steal and deflect passes, and garner rebounds.
