Nope! Basketball uses a point system with each basket earning that player or team 2 points. If it makes it in while the player is outside of the 3-point line, they earn 3 points! :)
Basketball was created as a new and cool sport. Basketball caught on with just about everyone and ended up being a professionally played sport called the NBA. There really is no purpose other than to have fun.To win. Also to score more points than the other team and to put the ball in the basket. A free throw is worth one point if you make it in the basket. In front of the three point line is two points if you make it in the basket. If it's behind the three point line and you make it in the basket you get three points.
The Objective of a basketball game is to score points and win the game.
Each basket is worth 1 point at the foul line, 2 points inside of the 3-point line, and 3 points outside of the 3-point line.
A 2 point shot in Basketball is worth only two points. As long as the player shoots and makes the basket within the three point parameter, they are given two points for the shot.
In basketball, there is a half-circle drawn on the court (the 3 point line) with the center of the circle at the basket. Shots made from outside that half-circle are awarded 3 points, while shots inside that circle are awarded 2 points.
If you are talking about basketball, then no. A basket is worth three points if shot from behind the 3-point line, regardless of where the player lands.
You can get up to 4 points. You can get 1 point for every freethrow you make when you are fouled. Two points for every basket you make inside the 3-point line. 3 points for every basket you make outside the 3-point line and 4 points if you were to get fouled while shooting the 3, therefore if you make your freethrow making it four points all together.
you get a point
The North American scoring system in basketball is quite simple. There are three scores one can get when they get the basketball through the hoop. A free throw counts as one point. A two point shot is when a player makes the basket anywhere inside the three point line. One can get three points if they make the basket if they are standing outside the three point line.
The only way you can get three points is to score a 3-pointer, by shooting and getting a basket from behind the 3-point line.
It is called making a basket. Two points are awarded if a player makes a basket from within the three point arc... and three points are awarded if a player makes a basket from beyond the three point arc.
