Basketball

Olympic Basketball is a high-energy team sport played between two teams of five athletes on an indoor court. The goal is to score points by shooting a ball through a hoop suspended 10 feet off the ground. The winning team is determined by who has the most points at the end of four 10-minute quarters. Shots inside the arc are worth two points and shots outside are worth three. Characterized by the mesmerizing flow of teammates working together to move the ball through dribbling and passing, Basketball is a celebration of athleticism, agility and technical finesse. First featured at the Olympic Games as a demonstration sport in 1904, this wildly popular global sport is sure to captivate fans at LA28 with its electric gameplay and vibrant spirit.
