Speed can be a factor in many ways in Basketball. On offense, it can help you get passed the defender. On defense, it can hep you get in position to block shots or steal the ball. When a team is faster overall, it enables many fast break opportunities for easy scores.

fast-breaks are needed in basketball to get a fast break you need to be quick hence the word ''fast''. you also need to be quick in basketball because when your team scores you need to run back into defence before your opponent over takes you.
