It's when a player makes a basket during the normal play of the game. Dunks, layups, jump shots, & 3 point shots are examples of field goals. A free throw is NOT a field goal because it doesn't occur during the normal play of the game.

A field goal in Basketball is also called a three pointer. A three pointer is when a player shoots the ball outside the three point line and makes it.
