Basketball is played with 5 men on each side. Usually there are 2 guards, 2 forwards, and one center. The two guards are called the point guard (called the 1) and the shooting guard (called the 2). The two forwards are called the small forward (called the 3) and the power forward (called the 4). The center is known as the 5.

The five positions in the context of sports, such as basketball or football, were not introduced at a specific time but rather evolved over the history of the games. In basketball, for example, the concept of positions emerged in the early 20th century as the sport developed. In football, the organization of player roles also evolved over decades, particularly as strategies became more complex in the 20th century. Each sport's positions were shaped by tactical innovations and the growing understanding of player specialization.
