Speed can be a factor in many ways in basketball. On offense, it can help you get passed the defender. On defense, it can hep you get in position to block shots or steal the ball. When a team is faster overall, it enables many fast break opportunities for easy scores.

He watches over every player on offense who could get the ball. Then, he assesses what might happen in the play. If he thinks that the quarterback will pass the ball, then he guards a wide receiver. If he thinks that the halfback or fullback will run the ball, then he prepares for the run. Essentially, he is the last line of defense on the defensive team.

There are 6 people on the court at a time you can do substitutions to switch players and the lebro can go in for anyone in the back row. There is no maximum for the number of players on a team. I think 10 is the perfect amount of players on a team.

The basketball is the most valuable object in the game. You will need to work its way down the court by dribbling or passing without double dribbling, travelling, going out of bounds, and fouling. Your goal is to place the ball in the the net and yell BUCKETS!!!!!

Generally, the point guard dribbles the ball down the court. However, that is not always the case. On teams with star players (Tyreke Evans, LeBron James, Brandon Roy, etc.) that can take over the game, they will often carry the ball down the court in crunch situations.

There are 3 positions for basketball. There are 2 guards (Point Guard and Shooting Guard), 2 forwards( Small Forward and Power Forward), and 1 center. There is 5 people on each team on the court at a time.

The offensive team is credited with a "team rebound" No individual player gets credit for a rebound but the offensive team is credited with a "team rebound." A team rebound is also given following a missed shot, if a personal foul is called before the rebound can be grabbed. It is also given to the defensive team if the ball goes out of bounds after a shot without anyone touching it, or to the team getting the ball if it glances off another player and out of bounds. Also the defensive team gets a team rebound if a shooter misses the rim entirely on the last free throw attempt in a sequence.

a layup is a shot made right beside the basket. It is usually a running shot that is quickly released and banked off the backboard. It is used because it is a high percentage shot and it is an easy way to score when running toward the goal without having to slow down and shoot.

the price of basketball goals also known as hoops varies on the type you are purchasing. they can range anywhere from around twenty dollars for childrens sized to thousands of dollars for professional grade.

If a team feels they cannot score a touchdown within their four downs they'll usually settle for a field goal which is worth 3 points. This is different from the extra point a team kicks after they've scored a touchdown and that field goal is only worth 1 point.

If they want to make sure they'll make it they should bring a very good kicker onto the field and hope he doesn't slip or get it blocked.

Team popularity is often based on how much the tickets to a game cost when a team is the visiting team. Every team has good home crowds but real popularity is when people are willing to pay a lot of money see a team play in their arena. For example, if the game is being played in Atlanta, people would pay more to see the LA Lakers play the Hawks than the Sacramento Kings. Based on this, the most popular teams are:

1. Miami Heat

2. LA Lakers

3. Boston Celtics

4. NY Knicks

5. Dallas Mavericks

6. Chicago Bulls

Offensive, defensive, technical, and flagrant. Offensive is when your team has the ball and is trying to score and someone on your team fouls a defensive player. Defensive is the opposite of offensive. Technical is when a player or is being unsportsmanlike to a player, coach, or ref. If you are T'd up (called for a technical foul) twice, you are ejected from the game and may receive fines or suspensions depending on how often you get technical fouls and the reason you got the technical foul. Flagrant is intentionally fouling a player very hard, typically resulting in injury/ies. Examples are stopping a layup by checking someone with your body (imagine Shaquille O'Neal colliding with Steve Nash and think of the impact). If the flagrant foul is bad enough, it can become a flagrant 2. If you get a flagrant 2 you are ejected immediately.
