Basketball is basically played with percentages. A good superstar player like LeBron James shoots efficiently at fifty percent. Any NBA player can get thirty points a night, the bad ones need to take a lot more shots to get thirty. So math plays a huge part in basketball through its percentages. Also not to get too complicated physics and calculus have a lot to do with the force and trajectory to which the ball is leaving the hand.
