The sport basketball is easy to understand but one thing that is different from other sports is where and how much shots are they are worth. One of the three is a two pointer, the two pointer can be shot from anywhere inside of the three -pointer line. The other place to shot is at the free throw line it is worth one point, but it is only if you get fouled. the last place to shoot is the three point line, it's worth three points. The three point line is a half of the a circle from the circle near the hoop.

 Man-to-Man is a way of the game is played, it  position. Man to man is other way of saying you should block one person for a period of a time The only thing is in the middle of the game you and your team mate can switch the people you are blocking. If you do swish the person you are blocking, is mostly is because the other team does a fake out on your team mate and she or he is coming toured you and your team mate blocks the team mate you were blocking just if the opposite tem throws him or her the ball.

In man to man you have to block one person specific person and follow them. In zone in stead of one specific person you have to block whoever is near you (in your zone). if someone comes in your zone and then cutes into some ones else zone you don't leave and go to get the ball or block them. There three common zone defense are 2-1-2, 1-3-1, or 2-3. 2-1-2 is two players beside the hoop, one in the middle and two a little up from the foul line. 1-3-1 is one in the front of the hoop, three on the foul line and one on the edge of the circle. 2-3 is the three near the hoop two on the edge of the foul line.

   Handling the ball is easy but mostly hard. Trying to dribble without looking and trying to get it from one place to another place when people are trying to take the ball away from you. One thing that is difficult is dribbling fast and trying to stop and shoot the ball. handling the ball to practice at it a lot.

Passing the ball is so you can give the ball to your team mate without the other team getting the ball. There are four different ways of passing the ball to your team mate. One of the four ways of passing the ball is the chest pass. The Chest pass is when you have the ball at your chest, then step toward the person you are throwing the ball to then snap the ball off quickly by extending your arms. Then have your palms facing out and your thumbs pointing down toured the right.

    The second pass is the bounce chest pass. It is when you throw the ball the same way as the chest pass but instead of forward, you have to bounce the ball at the ground toward the person you are throwing the ball to.

   The third pass is the Baseball pass, it is when you need to throw the ball at a team mate who is far away. Have the ball in one hand, then put back your arm that has the ball in the hand, bring your arm forward and release the ball like a baseball or softball.
