The peachIFIn xxxx, Moses Malone joined the Utah Stars of the American Basketball Association (which became part of the NBA after the ABA?NBA merger in xxxx) straight out of high school and went on to a Hall of Fame career. The past 30 years have seen a remarkable change in the college game. The best international players routinely skip college entirely, many American stars skip college (Shawn Kemp, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Dwight Howard, Amar'e Stoudemire and LeBron James) or only play one year (Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Kevin Durant, Greg Oden) and only a dozen or so college graduates are now among the 60 players selected in the annual NBA draft. Fewer high schoolers will progress directly to the NBA without at least one year of college basketball beginning in xxxx; citing maturity concerns after several incidents involving young players, the labor agreement between players and owners now specifies that players must turn 19 years of age during the calendar year of the draft to be eligible. Additionally, U.S. players must be at least one year removed from their high school gradThe pervasiveness of college basketball throughout the nation, the large population of graduates from "major conference" universities, and the NCAA's marketing of "March Madness" (officially the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship), have kept the college game alive and well. Some commentators have argued that the higher turnover of players has increased the importance of good coaches. Many teams have been highly successful, for instance, by emphasizing personality in their recruiting efforts, with the goal of creating a cohesive group that, while lacking stars, plays together for all 4 years and thus develops a higher level of sophistication than less stable teams could achieve.uation.ull independence came in xxxx with the IWBF becoming the world body for wheelchair basketball with full responsibility for development of the sport. Over the following years IWBF membership grew in size and based on the number of National Organizations for Wheelchair Basketball (NOWB?s) with active programs, the international federation configured itself into four geographical zones: Africa, Americas, Asia/Oceania aWorld championships for the sport have been held since xxxx, with Bruges, Belgium being the first host city. The first ever world championship for men was won by Great Britain. In the 11 first men's world championships, 6 times have been won by the United States (xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx), Great Britain once (the first ever championship in xxxx), Israel (xxxx), France (xxxx), Canada (xxxx) and Australia (xxxx). Canada has won four of the women's world championship titles (xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx), and the United States two (199Wheelchair basketball retains most major rules and scoring of basketball, and maintains a 10-foot basketball hoop and standard basketball court. The exceptions are rules which have been modified with consideration for the wheelchair. For example, "travelling" in wheelchair basketball occurs when the athlete touches his wheels more than twice after receiving or dribbling the ball. The individual must pass, bounce or shoot the ball before touching the wheels aAll teams which compete above a recreational level use a classification system to evaluate the functional abilities of players on a point scale of 1 to 4.5. Minimally disabled athletes are classified as a 4.5, and an individual with the highest degree of disability (such as a paraplegic with a complete injury below the chest) would have the classification of 1.0. In places where teams are integrated, non disabled athletes compete as either a 4.5 in Canada or a 5.0 in Europe. Non-disabled athletes are not allowed to compete iBenfica Basket is the professional basketball team of Sport Lisboa e Benfica, based in Lisbon, Portugal. The team plays in Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol (LPB), although in June xxxx, the team decided to leave the professional top league, then known as LCB, and join for the xxxx?xxxx season the Proliga,[3] a league organized by the Federação Portuguesa de Basquetebol. From xxxx onwards, Benfica returned to the LPB after the Portuguese federation took over the realms of coIt is the team with the most national senior titles, having the record for most championships, cups, league cups, supercups, and other national competitions. It is also the Portuguese team that advanced the furthest in the European top club basketball championship, now known as the EurolBenfica is a top sports club in Portugal and some of its most memorable moments were when its basketball team won European clashes against the likes of European giants that have won the Euroleague such as Buckler Bologna, Real Madrid (in Spain), Pallacanestro Cantù, Cibona Zagreb, Joventut Badalona (in Spain), Panathinaikos, Partizan Belgrade, or CSKA Moscow.[1][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Despite basketball not being nearly as popular with the population as football, Benfica also enjoyed a major rivalry with FC Porto's basketball team and it usually leads to clashes between the fans, players aCreated in xxxx,[1] the basketball team followed the steps of many other sports that were supported by the club, achieving great success almost immediately. The team established itself as a main contender by the xxxxs and during the whole xxxxs gained the status of championship favourite and was already the club with the most titles won. By this time the club had won eight national championships and eight cups. This dominating spell decreased the following decade until early xxxxs. In this time-span Benfica could only win two championships, in the xxxx?70 and the xxxx?75 season, but won four national cups, the second most prestigious Portuguese tournament, in xxxx?70, xxxx?72, xxxx?73 and xxxx?74. After these years, Benfica again dominated the naThe most successful period of the club was between xxxx and xxxx. In eleven seasons, the team won ten national titles, seven of which in a row, five national cups, five league cups and six supercups, achieving the best season ever by a Portuguese basketball team in xxxx?95 winning the Portuguese League, Portuguese League Cup, Portuguese Supercup, Portuguese Basketball Cup and finishing the European Champions' Cup in the Top 16. One of the highlight from that European Champions' Cup season was a 22 point victory (102?80) against CSKA Moscow in Lisbon on the 12th January, xxxx.[11] Benfica also made successful international campaigns in the other seasons considering the budget the team had compared with other European big teams. Some of the most successful of those campaigns include the xxxx?94, when Benfica was close to reach the Top 8,[13] and for a third season in a row Benfica managed to reach the Top 16 again in the European Champions' Cup, in xxxx?96, grabbing a win against Panathinaikos, the eventual champAfter more than a decade without any titles and in the same season Benfica had made a return to the first league, the xxxx?09 season, the team won the Portuguese League, with a perfect score of 100% wins during the regular season, becoming the second team in the world to do so, after Maccabi Tel Aviv in the xxxxs, and thrashing Ovarense 4?0 in the best-of-four game final. Benfica won the championship again the following season with a 91% winning record in the regular stage and a 4?1 final against Porto. The recent success brought the team to participate in the EuroChallenge, thus marking the end of a mid-term long hiatus from Portuguese clubs in European basketball competitions. The following year, Benfica won the League Cup and the SuperCup but did not renew the championship as it lost 4?3 in the final to Porto. In the next season Benfica regained the title of Portuguese champion after defeating Porto in their home court Dragão Caixa (53?56) in the last best-of-five series game following a 2?2 playoff tie. Benfica retained the title the following season, having only lost two games, one in the regular season, and the other in the play-off final, which they won 3?1 against Académica de Coimbra, both defeats coming only in overtime. Overall Benfica won every title except the Cup, losing against Vitória de Guimarães in the final, amassing only three losses in the entire season inIn Slovenia version of water basketball developed in xxxx. Till that time there were played two versions of water basketball. In first one there was classical basket fixed at edge of the swimming pool. This was not very convenient because player were kicked on the wall of swimming pool and basket was to high for realization of some attractive actions. The second version was using floating basket which is pretty unstable so it was very difficult to throw the ball in the basket. Toma? Slavec and Matja? Kodek from Kranj Slovenia developed special basket (long pillar sunk in the water, with basket on the end at one meter over water level), the ball, an made playing rules. All disadvantages of previous described version of water basketball were removed. There is no wall and floating basket problem, the game became very dynamical as hockey because it could be played behind the basket. These game is playd also iCollege basketball is the USA basketball competitive governance structure established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Basketball in the NCAA is divided into three divisions: Division I, Division II and Division III. The history of college basketball can be traced back to a YMCA International Training School, known today as Springfield College located Springfield, Massachusetts. The creation of basketball can be credited to a physical education teacher named James Naismith. During the winter of xxxx, Naismith was given two weeks to come up with a game that would keep the track athletes in shape and that could still prevent them from getting hurt. The first recorded basketball game was played on December 21, xxxx, and thus, college basketAs it may be seen the rules from the beginnings of basketball were very different from the rules of today.[2] After the first game people were impressed by the amount of fun the game was. So, many students that went home from school took the game of basketball with them and the game was an instant success. By xxxx, many colleges had a basketball teams that were playing each other, including the University of Kansas that was being coached by Naismith himself. The first doubleheader was played in New York, at Madison Square Garden in xxxx. The two games were between New York University and Notre Dame, and Westminster and St John's. New York University won 25?18 and Westminster won 37?33. This symbolized the growth of basketball and how it had expanded and gained popularity all across the United States and throughout the UnivThe first national tournament that came about was the NIT, or National Invitation Tournament, in xxxx. Every tournament was played at Madison Square Garden in New York. A year later, another tournament was implemented by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). This tournament's location varied from year to year, so more fans could come see games being played instead of having to travel to New York. Although the NIT was created first, it lost popularity over time to the NCAA Tournament. In xxxx, the NCAA ruled that no team could compete in both tournaments, in effect indicating that if a team were eligible for the NCAA tournament, it had better play in it.[3] Since then, the NCAA tournament has clearly been the major one, with conference champions and the majority of the top-ranked teams participating in it.[4]Through the xxxxs and xxxxs, with UCLA leading the way with ten NCAA Tournament championships, a shift in power to teams from the west enhanced this attention shift away from the New York City-based NIT. When the NCAA tournament expanded its field of teams from 25 to 32 in xxxx, then to 48 in xxxx, and then most recently to 64 in xxxx, interest grew in the NCAA tournament because it contained more teams than the NIT, as well as utilizing more distributed competition locations. In xxxx, the field expended to 72 teams and the last 8 teams playing for four spots making the field into 68, which is called the first round and so on. Former first round is called the second round, second round is called the 3rd, sweet sixteen is the same but its techinally 4th round in the current format, and etc.ersities.ball had been born.[1]n Hungary in Pecs. all competitions.ions.[14][9]tional scene.nd staff.eague.mpetition.nternationally.gain.0, xxxx).nd Europe.nVariations of basketball are activities based on the game of basketball, using common basketball skills and equipment (primarily the ball and basket). Some variations are only superficial rules changes, while others are distinct games with varying degrees of basketball influences. Other variations include children's games, contests or activities meant to help players reinforce skillThere are principal basketball sports with variations on basketball including Wheelchair basketball, Water basketball, Beach basketball, Slamball, Streetball and Unicycle basketball. An earlier version of basketball was Six-on-six basketball played until the end of the xxxxs. Horseball is a game played on horseback where a ball is handled and points are scored by shooting it through a high net (approximately 1.5m×1.5m). The sport is like a combination of polo, rugby, and basketball. There is even a form played on donkeys known as Donkey basketball, but that version has come under attack from animal rights groupPerhaps the single most common variation of basketball is the half-court game, played in informal settings without referees or strict rules. Only one basket is used, and the ball must be "cleared" ? passed or dribbled outside the three-point line each time possession of the ball changes from one team to the other. Half-court games require less cardiovascular stamina, since players need not run back and forth a full court. Half-court raises the number of players that can use a court or, conversely, can be played if there is an insufficient number to form full 5Slamball is full-contact basketball, with trampolines. Points are scored by playing the ball through the net, as in basketball, though the point-scoring rules are modified. The main differences from the parent sport is the court; below the padded basketball rim and backboard are four trampolines set into the floor which serve to propel players to great heights for slam dunks. The rules also permit some physical contact between the members of the four-playStreetball is a less formal variant of basketball, played on playgrounds and in gymnasiums across the world. Often only one half of the court is used, but otherwise the rules of the game are very similar to those of basketball. The number of participants in a game, or a run, may range from one defender and one person on offense (known as one on one) to two full teams of five each. Streetball is a very popular game worldwide, and some cities in the United States have organized streetball programs, such as midnight basketball. Many cities also host their own weekend-long streetball tourUnicycle basketball is played using a regulAn NCAA game is divided into two halves, each 20 minutes long, while NBA games are played in four quarters of 12 minutes each and WNBA games are played in 10-minute quarters. The NCAA shot clock gives a men's team 35 seconds to shoot and a women's team 30 seconds, while the shot clock used in both the NBA and WNBA gives teams 24 seconds. Also, NCAA men's teams are allowed 10 seconds to move the ball past the halfcourt line, and NCAA women's teams have no time limit on moving the ball past the halfcourt line, while NBA and WNBA rules allow only 8 seconds. However, like the NBA and WNBA (and high school basketball), during the last minute of each half, the game clock keeps time remaining in the period measured in tenths of a second, rather thaThough the height of the basket, the foul line's distance from the backboard, and the court dimensions are the same, the distance between the three-point line and the backboard is different. The NBA three-point line measures 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 m) at the top of the circle, or 22 feet (6.7 m) in the corners or baseline.[6] On the NCAA court, the three-point line had been a constant 19 feet 9 inches (6.02 m), but the NCAA Rules Committee voted in May xxxx to extend it a foot more to 20 feet 9 inches (6.32 m), which became effective beginning the xxxx?09 season.[7] The WNBA's three-point line is 6.25 m (20 ft 6 in), which FIBA used before it extended its three-point arc to 6.75 m (22 ft 1 1/2 in) at the top of the circle and 6.6 m (21 ft 8 in) at the corners and baseline. The NCAA lane measures 12 feet (3.7 m) in width, while the NBA and WNBA lane is 16 feet (4.9 m); the FIBA lane is marginally wider than the NBA/WNBA lane at exactly 4.9 mNCAA players are allowed five personal fouls before fouling out, as opposed to their NBA counterparts, who are allowed six. This maintains the same ratio of minutes of play per foul allowed, eight. However, the WNBA allows players six personal fouls despite playing the same number of minutes as the NCAA. The number of team fouls allotted is also different. In all three competitions, team fouls can be categorized as shooting or non-shooting. A shooting foul occurs when a player gets fouled in the act of shooting (while airborne), giving him the chance to shoot free throws. A common foul (non-shooting foul) consists of all other fouls, including making contact with the opposing player while "reaching in" to steal theA team may make a certain number of non-shooting fouls per period before the opposing team is awarded free throws. In the NBA and WNBA, the fifth team foul in a quarter places the team in penalty. For every foul starting with the fifth, whether it's shooting or non-shooting, the opposing team receives two free throws. In addition, if an NBA or WNBA team has not entered the penalty in the last two minutes of a period, its team foul count is reset; the second team foul in the last two minutes triggers the penalty. In the NCAA, the penalty begins with the seventh team foul in a half. However, the fouled player must make the first free throw in order to get the second. This is called a "one and one" or "one and the bonus" situation. On the tenth team foul, the "double bonus" situation comes into play, meaning that every subsequent team foul results in two free throws for the opposing team. It should be noted that no free throws are shot at either level for a player control foul, which is an offensive foul (usually a charge). Unlike NBA/WNBA rules, the team foul count does not reset in the last two minutes of a half. Overtime periods are considered an extension of the second half under NCAA rules, but not under NBA/WNBA rules; in those leagues, the fourth team foul in any overtime period, or the second in the last two minutes, triggers the penalty. ball.

There are a number of rules that are particular to unicycle basketball as well, for example, a player must have at least one foot on a pedal when in-bounding the ball. Unicycle basketball is usually played using 24" or smaller unicycles, and using plastic pedals, both to preserve the court and the players' shins. In North America, popular unicycle basketball games are Basketball Schools and Academies, where students are trained in developing basketball fundamentals, undergo fitness and endurance exercises and learn various basketball skills. Basketball students learn proper ways of passing, ball handling, dribbling, shooting from various distances, rebounding, offensive moves, defense, layups, screens, basketball rules and basketball ethics. Also popular are the basketball camps organized for various occasions, often to get prepared for basketball events, and basketball clinics for imprFantasy basketball was inspired by fantasy baseball. Originally played by keeping track of stats by hand, it was popularized during the xxxxs after the advent of the Internet. Those who play this game are sometimes referred to as General Managers, who draft actual NBA players and compute their basketball statistics. The game was popularized by ESPN Fantasy Sports, NBA.com, and Yahoo! Fantasy Sports. Other sports websites provided the same format keeping the game interesting with participants actually owning specifiIn early December xxxx, James Naismith, a Canadian physical education teacher at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts invented an indoor game called basketball. He invented the sport to keep his students from becoming bored during the winter.Naismith wrote the basic rules and then nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot tall pole. Unlike modern basketball hoops, the bottom of the peach-basket was still there, so after a point was scored, somebody had to get the ball out of the basket with a long stick. Over time, people made a hole at the bottom of the basket so the ball could go through mBasketball is played with two teams, with 5 players from each team on the court at one time. The players that are not on the court can sit on the bench; the maximum number of players on the bench differs by league. In international play, a maximum of 7 players are allowed on the bench, resulting in a roster of 12 players. The NBA has 13-player rosters; college and high school teams usually have 15-player rosters. When a player wants to substitute for another player on the court they let the score bench know. The referees will signal for the player waiting to come onto the court. The player that went into the game is now playing and the player that was playing is sittinWheelchair basketball is basketball played by people in wheelchairs and is considered one of the major disabled sports practiced.

Shortly after she was hired at Smith, she went to Naismith to learn more about the game.[18] Fascinated by the new sport and the values it could teach, she organized the first women?s collegiate basketball game on March 21, xxxx, when her Smith freshmen and sophomores played against one another.[19] Her rules were first published in xxxx and two years later Berenson became the editor of A.G.

This was a mutually beneficial relationship for the NBA and colleges?the colleges held onto players who would otherwise go professional, and the NBA did not have to fund a minor league.

Specifically, a growing number of poor, under-educated, highly talented teenage basketball players found the system exploitative?they brought in funds to schools where they learned little and played withThe American Basketball Association began to employ players who had not yet graduated.

He signed with the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics in xxxx, before his college class graduation, defying NBA rules. Haywood pleaded that, as his family's sole wage earner, he should be allowed to earn a living in the NBA or else his family would face destitution.

The NBA, like most other professional sports leagues, lets the home team decide which uniform to wear, but with a few exceptions the home team has continued the tradition of the college game and wears white (or in the case of the Los Angeles Lakers for non-Sunday home games, gold) at home. This is for regular season play only; home teams always wear white during the playoffs. The WNBA, however, follows the college rule forThe NBA introduced a new dress code rule in xxxx. Now players are required to wear business casual attire whenever they are engaged in team or league business. This includes a long or short-sleeved dress shirt (collared or turtleneck), and/or a sweater; dress slacks, khaki pants, or dress jeans, and appropriate shoes and socks, including dress shoes, dress boots, or other presentable shoes, but not including sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, or work boots. The WNBA has a similar dress code, adjusted for standard women's attire. NCAA rules have no set dress code rule, leaving it up to individual teams or conferences. all games., a player has to be able to reach a point higher than where the shot is released. Thus, height can be an advantage in blocking.

While the NBA and WNBA allow players to wear any number from 0 to 99, including 00, so long as it is available, the NCAA disallows any jersey number with a 6, 7, 8, or 9 in it. This is done to allow the referee to report fouls using hand signals with one hand, as each hand has only five fingers. High school basketball, whose rules are set by the National Federation of State High School Associations, also follows the NCAA's convention on jerWhile less commercialized than Division I, Division II and Division III are both highly successful college basketball organizations. Women's Division I is often televised, but to smaller audiences than Men's Division I. Generally, small colleges join Division II, while colleges of all sizes that choose not to offer athletic scholarships join Division III. D-II and D-III games, understandably, are almost never televised, although CBS televises the Championship Final of Division II, while CBS College Sports Network televises the semifinals as well as the DivisionThe NAIA also sponsors men and women's college-level basketball.

Whichever team got the most points won the game.[5] The baskets were originally nailed to the mezzanine balcony of the playing court, but this proved impractical when spectators on the balcony began to interfere with shots. The backboard was introduced to prevent this interference; it had the additional effect of allowing rebound shots.[6] Naismith's handwritten diaries, discovered by his granddaughter in early xxxx, indicate that he was nervous about the new game he had invented, which incorporated rules from a children's game called "Duck on a Rock", as many had failed before it. Naismith called the new game "Basket Ball".[7] The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium in Albany, New York on January 20, xxxx with nine players. The game ended at 1?0; the shot was made from 25 feet (7.6 m), on a court just half the size of a present-day Streetball or National Basketball Association (NBA) court.
