"Basketball
is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and
it always takes a while for the defense to catch up
Red Auerbach
Basketball is a
sport in which two teams
of five players each try to score points on one another by throwing a
ball
through a hoop (the basket) under organized rules.

In the early days of Basketball peach baskets were used as hoops,
eventually they removed the bottoms so after every score they did not have to go
up a ladder to retrieve the ball.
Amateur
"The word amateur has
at least two connotations. In the first, more widely used manner, it
means someone performing some task without pay, in contrast to a
"professional" who would be paid for the same task. In this sense,
labeling someone an "amateur" can have a negative connotation. For
example, amateur athletes in sports such as basketball or football
would not be regarded as having ability on par with professional
athletes in those sports. Source:.wikipedia
Professional
"A professional works
to receive payment for an activity (as a profession), which usually
requires expertise and carries with it socially significant mores
and folkways. That is to say, behaving professionally would indicate
that the person's actions remain in accordance with specific rules,
written or unwritten, pertaining to behavior, dress, speech, etc. By
extension, the adjective professional can indicate that someone has
great expertise or skill in a craft or activity."
