it is one of the most popular game in the world. We had to play this ball only by using our hand. The net of this playing system stay above our head, so the tall players get advantage to play it. It is played in very discipline manners. I always try to see the game of basket ball. I play this game when I was student of class twelve and was in college life. Now a days it become impossible to play this game.

Basketball is my favorite sport to watch and play. I have been a huge fan since I was a little girl. My favorite team is the New York Knicks and I always make sure I watch every game.

Some facts about basketball:
-Basketball is a well-known American sport invented by a Canadian who was working at a YMCA in the U.S.
-Slam dunks were considered illegal in 1967. That lasted nine years and came back for the 1976-1977 season.
-The Chicago Bulls is the merely team that has won the NBA championships (for a total of six) each time they appeared.
- The earliest baskets were peach baskets. The base of the net wasn't left open until 1913. Before this time, the ball had to be retrieved after each basket scored.
- Kareem Abdul Jabbar has the record for most points in a career. Over 20 years, he scored 38,387 points. In a single game, Wilt Chamberlain has the record at 100 points. That happened on March 2, 1962 and the opposite team continued to foul Chamberlain so he would not make 100 points. He was a terrible free throw shooter, but he still hit 100 points. The player that has the second most points in a game is Kobe Bryant with 81 points. Michael Jordan has scored more points total in playoff games with 5,987.

Basketball is my favorite sports and its a good exercise, in our country basketball is the no.1 sports. We play it everywhere even without basketball shoes but rather a flip flops, even in the mountain area you could still see concrete basketball court.
