you use a ball to dribble, if you take more than 2 steps without dribbling it's a travel, usually people run plays to get open, a free throw is worth one point, a basket is worth 2, and a shot from behind the three point arc is worth 3 points. if you get fouled while you are shooting you get two free throws unless you make it them you get the basket and you get 1 free throw. There are five different positions in Basketball: the point guard, which is the fastest and has the most dribble skills on the team. The shooting guard who has the job of trying to get open for a shot and is the person who shoots the most shots. The small forward whose job is to shoot threes and to help the point guard and the shooting guard to get open and also does some rebounding. The power forward who shoots mid-range shots and does more rebounding than the small forward and is also a shot blocker. Then the center whose job is to block peoples shots and does a lot of rebounding and dunks a lot. The ball is 29.5 inches in circumference. The three point line is 23 feet 6 inches from the hoop and the free throw line is 18 feet from the hoop.
