No, offense is not more important than defense in basketball. There will be nights where your shot will be off, and it will seem like nothing is falling for you. As a player you can't control whether the shots are falling...but you CAN control whether your defense is good or not. Defensive intensity can be regulated, but the number of shots that will fall in the game cannot be controlled. Defense will always be present.
Even if you are a superb athlete who is naturally gifted, you need to train very hard. You cannot get the feel of a basketball game unless you continue playing in them. Shots can be practiced alone, but defense cannot.
It cannot.
It really depends on the situation and the ref, but in the rules a defensive player cannot make contact with an offensive player.
An offensive player cannot stand in the key for more than 3 seconds. If he or she does, then the other team gets the ball. In the NBA, this rule applies to defensive players as well.
You cannot "type" a basketball. A basketball is an object you use in the sport of basketball to shoot it through the hoop.
This is called the no-charge zone. When in this arc, the referee cannot call the "three-seconds" rule on you, which is when you are in the danger zone (the box from the free throw line to the base line) for more than three seconds.
Let's say Jimmy is playing offense and another of his teammates has the ball. Jimmy cannot stand in the lane (the area between the free-throw line and the hoop) for more than 3 seconds.
no you cannot
In the game of basketball, the player has five seconds to bring the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Additionally, each player cannot hold onto the ball for more than five seconds at a time, without passing.
The movie 'Basketball' was released in 1998. You cannot buy a basketball from the movie 'Basketball'. You can, however, buy a similar basketball from a sports store.
You probably cannot, although you may try to plead it down to a lesser offense.
