CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING:
1. How basketball differs from other team sports?
-The basketball is a sport where two teams compete with an objective of shooting a ball
into a hoop. It is usually consisting of five players on each team, play against each other on a
rectangular court. The game can be played for practice or recreation with any number down to
“one on one”. It can be played alone. In addition, basketball does not cost much money to play,
as little equipment, only a ball and a hoop. But other team sport requires only few or more than
five members on each team, they are different on the content of the sport, different of scoring
and rules of the game.
2. Why do you need to know the history of the game?
-It is necessary to know the history of the game because it can teach lessons about
social changes and about the nature of sport itself, as sport seems involved in the development
of basic human skills and it will build knowledge and understanding of historical events and
trends, especially over the past century, so that we can better understand current events.
