First of all, wheelchair Basketball is way sicker than regular basketball. Aside from the fact that scientific studies have shown that wheelchair basketball players are consistently more attractive than their non-disabled counterparts, they also have way madder skills! Allen Iverson tried to D up on me one time, and now he's in a wheelchair too. Ooooooh snap!
Well, handball involves a smaller ball that has more buoyancy. In handball, the objective is to hit the ball against the wall with your hand & so forth. In basketball, you have a rather larger ball. In basketball you shoot the ball into the basketball net.
The rules apply differently depending on who you're playing with or you can make your own rules depending on how you like to play either rules. ( there are general rules to both )
Hope this helped :)
It's basketball that you play in a wheelchair
"Any individual who, because of permanent severe leg disability or paralysis of the lower portion of the body, will benefit through participation in wheelchair basketball and who would be denied the opportunity to play basketball, were it not for the wheelchair adaptation, is eligible."
An elderly person in a wheelchair could play basketball, although probably not very well. But nothing would prevent such a person from throwing a basketball at a hoop.
The same way you play regular basketball, but with 3 people on your team instead of 5.
Yes. if they are in the special olympics. or there are some alternate versions of classic sports, such as wheelchair basketball, where people in wheelchairs play basketball.
A three point play is possible in Basketball. A three point play occurs when a player is fouled while he or she is shooting, and that shot goes in.

Wheelchair basketball is basketball played by people in wheelchairs and is considered one of the major disabled sports practiced.Wheelchair basketball retains most major rules and scoring of basketball, and maintains a 10-foot basketball hoop and standard basketball court. The exceptions are rules which have been modified with consideration for the wheelchair. For example, "travelling" in wheelchair basketball occurs when the athlete touches his wheels more than twice after receiving or dribbling the ball. The individual must pass, bounce or shoot the ball before touching the wheels again.Wheelchair basketball, based on the sport of basketball, introduces some adaptations to reflect the use of the wheelchair in the game, and to harmonize the different levels of disabilities players have.All teams which compete above a recreational level use a classification system to evaluate the functional abilities of players on a point scale of 1 to 4.5. Minimally disabled athletes are classified as a 4.5, and an individual with the highest degree of disability (such as a paraplegic with a complete injury below the chest) would have the classification of 1.0. In places where teams are integrated, non disabled athletes compete as either a 4.5 in Canada or a 5.0 in Europe. Non-disabled athletes are not allowed to compete internationally.Classification is an international regulation for playing wheelchair basketball, where competitions restrict the number of points allowable on the court at one time. The five players from each team on the court during play may not exceed a total of 14 points you can also visit http://ryanfrancisco.posterous.com for more info about basketball.
