Basketball is a sport whether played professionally or as a hobby is a sport that requires players to shoot a round ball into a basketball hoop. Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five people each attempt to score points against each other by throwing a ball through a ten foot high hoop, which is called the basket under the organized rules. Did that basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world? While competitive basketball is mostly an indoor sport which is played on a basketball court, less regulated varieties of basketball have become very popular as an outdoor sport with both inner city and rural groups of children of all ages. In addition, people who like to shoot a basketball as a hobby often like to organize “pickup games” of basketball after work. These “pickup games” of basketball usually take place on an outdoor basketball court on a playground or in a Y.M.C.A. In fact, the first basketball game was played in a YMCA gymnasium on January 20th, 1892 with nine players on a court which was half the size of the modern day National Basketball Association, NBA court. Another interesting fact about basketball is that basketball was originally played with a soccer ball. The first balls that were created specifically for basketball were chocolate brown. Then, in 1950 basketballs became orange with black lines. The orange and black basketballs are what people use to play basketball for fun or professionally. Although many people play basketball as a hobby they may not know who invented basketball. Dr. James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 in Springfield Massachusetts. It is claimed that the first basket used for basketball was a peach basket. Shooting is part of the game of basketball and shooting is a part of sports such as archery and hunting.
Hunting involves shooting for sport and for food. Many men like to shoot animals food such as deer. This is because venison meat is very rich and delicious. It is also claimed that venison meat can get a good price at market. Many men like to hunting as a hobby in order to relax. However, there are many people that are against shooting animals either for sport or for food. In fact, PETA is an organization that advocates for the ethical treatment of all animals. In addition, it is dangerous to shoot a gun for any reason because people and animals can get hurt if a gun is used recklessly. The sport and hobby of hunting usually takes place in the woods or in the forest. However, be careful when shooting anything such as a basketball, a gun, or an arrow, like people do in archery because someone or something can get hurt.
