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.
