Basketball: everything in one place
Fast breaks, teamwork and full-body movement. A whole-platform hub assembled from 17 sections of existing, cross-linked knowledge — skills, rules, equipment, science, calculators, comparisons, diagrams, learning and research.
Overview
Basketball is a team sport where players score by shooting a ball through an elevated hoop. It flows quickly between attack and defence, with constant movement, jumping and rapid decision-making.
You can play a full five-a-side game or a casual half-court “pickup” with just a few players, which makes it easy to get started in parks and sports halls alike.
