No, you do not have to capitalize the name of a sport, unless it is the first word in a sentence; for example:
I went to a basketball game.
Basketball is my favorite sport.
I bought a new basketball.
The name of a sport is a common noun as general word for that sport.
A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing; for example, the National Basketball Association (NBA) or The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA.
A proper noun is always capitalized.

Should the first word of a bullet be capitalized if it follows a colon?
Capitalization and punctuation are optional when using single words or phrases in bulleted form. If each bullet or numbered point is a complete sentence, capitalize the first word and end each sentence with proper ending punctuation. The rule of thumb is to be consistent. Use a colon instead of a semicolon between two sentences when the second sentence explains or illustrates the first sentence and no coordinating conjunction is being used to connect the sentences. If only one sentence follows the colon, do not capitalize the first word of the new sentence. If two or more sentences follow the colon, capitalize the first word of each sentence following.
