The larger of the two forwards on a Basketball team is called a center, or a "five". They will typically play by the foul line, or down by what is called the post. The post is right under and to one of the sides of the basket. The smaller of the forwards is known as the "four" and typically stays on both sides of the post. This is while on offense.
Defensively, both players will play one on one in what is called "man-to-man", or in a specific area in what is called a "zone."
