Basketball is a group ball sport consisting of two teams of five people each who compete to score points by putting the ball in the opponent’s basket. Basketball is very suitable to watch because it is usually played in a closed sports room and only requires a relatively small field. In addition, basketball is easy to learn because of its large shape, so it doesn’t make it difficult for players to bounce or throw the ball.
