∙ 11y agoNo, Basketball is a common noun.
A proper noun has two distinctive features:
1) it will name a specific [usually a one-of-a-kind] item, i.e. the Earth, the Moon, John, the United States,and
2) it will begin with a capital letter no matter where it occurs in a sentence.
A common noun will only be capitalized when it starts a sentence.
