#Basket ball Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, opposing one another on a rectangular court, compete with the primary objective of shooting a basketball (approximately 9.4 inches (24 cm) in diameter) through the defender's hoop (a basket 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter mounted 10 feet (3.048 m) high to a backboard at each end of the court), while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. A field goal is worth two points, unless made from behind the three-point line, when it is worth three. After a foul, timed play stops and the player fouled or designated to shoot a technical foul is given one, two or three one-point free throws. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but if regulation play expires with the score tied, an additional period of play (overtime) is mandatedInvented in 1891 by Canadian-American gym teacher James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts, in the United States, basketball has evolved to become one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports.[1][2] The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the most significant professional basketball league in the world in terms of popularity, salaries, talent, and level of competition[3][4] (drawing most of its talent from U.S. college basketball).

The tallest player is usually the center, the second-tallest and strongest is the power forward, a slightly shorter but more agile player is the small forward, and the shortest players or the best ball handlers are the shooting guard and the point guard, who implement the coach's game plan by managing the execution of offensive and defensive plays (player positioning).

"I can do a lot of things with the basketball, a lot of things... That is the one thing that I cannot do. That's one of the most embarrassing things. You got me nervous just thinking about it: spinning the ball on my finger! All my life, that's the one thing that I can't figure out." Steph Curry This is a fantastic example for every player out there, and even more so for the younger generation, who idolize Steph Curry. It shows them that even if you are one of the best players to ever play the game, the best 3-point shooter in National Basketball Association (NBA) history, the one who just amazed the entire world by his performances both in the semi-final and the final of the last Olympic Games, you don't have to be perfect at everything. Spinning the ball on a finger is fun for a lot of basketball players, yet it is completely useless on the court! Learn how to become great at skills that will help you stand out from others and accept not being great at everything. Players who perform at the highest level, have defined their bread and butter and don't let their weaknesses become liabilities. #themindgameofbasketball #skills #classic #useless #fun #message #strengths #weaknesses #breadandbutter #championsmindset #legend #liabilities #performance #mentalskills #playersdevelopment #awareness

The 3v3 Basketball in the Olympics makes me SICK Why?? Not because we have Jimmer - I love Jimmer Because they go by 1's and 2's to 21 Are you kidding me?? There has been a terrible trend my whole life of pick-up games of 5v5 or 3v3 that go by 1's and 2's. The greatest accomplishment in my basketball career is not touching the rim at the age of 30, but that my friends and I pivoted several years ago to play the game the way it was intended to be played and play by 2's and 3's. I will die on this hill. Example Scenario: Imagine a team makes 5 shots inside the arc and 5 shots outside the arc. In 5v5 scoring: (5 * 2) + (5 * 3) = 10 + 15 = 25 points. The 3-point shot is worth 50% more than a 2-point shot. In 3v3 scoring: (5 * 1) + (5 * 2) = 5 + 10 = 15 points. The 2-point shot is worth 100% more than a 1-point shot. In my opinion this is unfair because it disproportionately rewards outside shots, and overshadows the skills and strategies involved in inside play. So, my Couch Coaching advice to Jimmer and The Boys - Live and Die by the 2-pointer and make our country proud! What do you all think? Go by 1's and 2's or by 2's and 3's? #3v3Basketball #USA #Olympics
