The basics of Basketball are to score a ball through the opponents hoop, which is ten feet in the air. You try to prevent the other team from scoring in you basket. Every time you score on the opponents basket you get points, either two points, three points, or one point if you make a free throw after being fouled. Another major concept of basketball is that you have to dribble the ball in order to move with the ball. If you move without dribbling the ball will go to the other team.
