why do people like basketball?

Question

answer

Answer 1

lets compare it to the 2 other main sports baseball and football

in basketball players actually play both sides of the court unlike football and some baseball players

basketball changes possessions faster than any of those sports so there is endless back and forth action rather than one team trying to score and then a break and the other team trying to score after a defense change and tv time out

also basketball has a lot higher scores and people love to watch offense

in basketball it's much more man agaisnt man head to head action where every player can receive the ball unlike football and be on try to score at any time unlike baseball

Answer 2

The first thing is that

1. It is very easy to understand. 5 men will guard a basket, and if you are able to shoot into their basket anyway, you get a point.
2. Next, no one gets his eyes poked out, gets knocked unconscious, or dies because they get hit in a fatal injury zone. The worst injury may be a twisted ankle, or a sprained knee. Oh ok, maybe a bit more, but it is not as brutal as the other sports.
3. You can see them thinking how to put a play into action. This game attracts intelligent athletes.

Answer 3

I think it's all about passion of the game. Each and every one of us had their own reason to play basketball, but in the end of the day is all about the passion.
Same goes for other sports...

basketball is unpredictable. if a game is tied with a few second left on the clock, then a player has a 50/50 chance of shoot the ball in the hoop. you have to watch the highlights to see why.

because of all the action. If you don't like slow sports, this is for you! There's also some drama and the rules are generally easy and most have played it at one time or another in their lives.

Answer 9

i like basketball but i am scared to play cause i wanted to snatch the ball and i crack my finger..... my finger was swollen..... it was so painful, i cracked my finger two times.

the first time, the doctor said that my little finger bone was broken.... the 2nd time my little finger again was swollen.... i cant move my finger yet my brother accidentally step on my fingered!!! it was damn pain...... after a few weeks it cured but i need to go to the hospital to check up.

so i still continue to play basketball..... basketball will make us tall...... cause we are jumping and scoring.
