Overview
Basketball is played by two teams of five players on an indoor court that is 28 metres long and 15m wide. Points are scored by shooting the ball into a ‘basket’, which has a diameter of 450-459mm and sits on a backboard 3.05m above the floor.
Two points are awarded for a regular shot from open play; one point for each successful free throw (following an opposition infringement); and three points for a shot from distance, beyond what’s known as the three-point line, 6.75m from the basket. Games last for 40 minutes and are split into four 10-minute quarters.
The sport was invented by Dr James Naismith, a Canadian physical education teacher who wanted to create a game that could be played indoors during the winter by his students at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA.
The first game, which took place in December 1891, used peach baskets. From these humble beginnings, basketball has grown into one of the most exciting team sports in the world.
Men’s basketball first appeared on the Olympic programme at the Berlin 1936 Games, with the women’s competition introduced at Montreal 1976. Professional players first competed at Barcelona 1992, when the famous USA ‘Dream Team’ won gold in the men’s event.
