"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.
