Basketball is a Team Sport
Basketball is a team sport consisting of two teams each made up of five players. The object of the game is for the players to score points by getting a ball through a ten foot high hoop. Of course nothing is as easy as it seems and there are several rules regulating the sport as you would expect. One rule is that while players are allowed to play the game defensively they are not allowed to exhibit force to get the ball away from their opponent. If excessive force is used the player who broke the rules will receive a foul.
