Basketball

In a basketball game, two teams of five players play a two-quarter game in which each team attempts to score baskets by placing a ball through a hoop. In the U.S., the National Basketball League, or NBA, is the professional league for basketball players.

a large amount of people participate in in NCAA sports.

At my school I find the area of a basket ball court by turning left when I walk out of the locker room.

Coaches are ALWAYS looking for someone who's willing to work HARD and willing to improve. they want to see if you have potential; you don't necessarily have to be super-great the first time around (though it does help to practice beforehand). Try doing shooting drills, such as around the world or knock-out... this gives you a taste of the competetive atmosphere in real games. It is IMPOSSIBLE to make the team without knowing how to dribble with your left AND right hand without looking up. Stamina is KEY. Run, run, and RUN. Basketball is a game which requires a ton of energy, and generally coaches will check to see if you can withstand running a few laps without losing too much energy. Also, keep a positive, team friendly, attitude. If you don't make the team, stay positive and think about training and planning for next year's tryouts. The coach will DEFINITELY notice your willingness to make changes and improve for his team, and it will make him/her feel proud to have someone who wants to be on THEIR team so badly.

You may have a maximum of 13 players on an NBA basketball roster. This is considered the active roster and you can also have more in the developmental league.

When a player shoots the ball and it goes through the net it scores 2 points unless he is shooting from behind the 3 point arc. In that case it scores 3 points. Shots from the free-throw line (charity stripe) score 1 point.

i think he could jump about 3.5 ft in the air because if you look at a pic of him dunking his head is about 9 inches from the bottom of the net which makes his head at 9''3, hes 5''7 by the way

In the 2008-2009 season Marcus Camby is 2nd in avg. blocks per game behind Dwight howard

Miami heat are called the heat because if you think about it, is it cold in miami? If it was cold in miami it would be called the miami frost or miami shiver. In other words it is hot in miami and they think they are hot in terms of style.

Yes, he is Christian. In his college years, he bought his mother a church which was later named, "The Temple Of Praise".

Sophmore As a freshman in high school, Jordan joined his school basketball team. It was on his high school team that Jordan chose the jersey number he was later to make famous as a pro, number 23. When later asked why he chose that number, he replied to the Associated Press, "I wanted to wear No. 45 in high school, but my older brother (Larry) wore that number. So I decided to go with half of 45, which is actually 22½." Jordan at first had trouble standing out on the school team. In fact, only a year after joining the team, as a tenth grader, he was cut from the varsity team. But this only pushed him to work harder at perfecting his game. As he later said on his Web site, "I think that not making the Varsity team drove me to really work at my game, and also taught me that if you set goals, and work hard to achieve them-the hard work can pay off."

I don't believe there's a limit to how many players you can have, but there can only be 6 on the court at a time.

Yes, they will help you jump higher and make you more explosive overall, but make sure you don't put on ones that are too heavy. One's that are too heavy can really mess up your knees. I would recommend using 2 lb weights and run around or play basketball with then on. Something that would be even better would be a weight vest. The vest distributes the weight more evenly through the body and would allow you to put 30 lbs or so on more safely than wearing ankle weights. This is coming from someone who played football in college and tried a lot of that stuff growing up as well as graduated with a degree in physical education. I am not an expert, but I have some bearing and background in this subject

At least one player to have worn jersey #43 is Grant Long, who played college basketball at Eastern Michigan and had a productive career with the Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, and Detroit Pistons.

Yes.... one must shoot the ball backwards while hopping on one foot from the half-court line in order to acheive this.

There is also a 6 pointer and a 4.5 pointer, but that is too time consuming to explain

This depends on how badly you have jammed it. Usually if you can still get movement out of you finger you caan immediately return to your sport but you may want to tape it or get a splint. If you can't get any movement out of your finger I suggest going and getting X-rays because it may be fractured or even broken. Hope this helps! :)

Lebron James loved playing basketball and dominated in his high school. Who wouldn't choose to play in the NBA, a lot of people's dreams, get picked 1st overall in the NBA draft, and be considered the greatest basketball player ever along with getting payed a ton of money?

The NBA season starts on October 28th, 2014. The season begins with the San Antonio Spurs playing the Dallas Mavericks.
