 * The Point Guard**

The point guard's role is similar to the director on a movie set, as he calls the plays and directs the offence. As it's his job to get the ball to his teammates in the best position where they can score, he is usually the best passer and dribbler on the team. Point guards are often the smallest and quickest players on the team and are often referred to as the one guard or the lead guard. Point guards typically are judged by how well they distribute the ball to their tea mmates, resulting in assists.

The Shooting Guard The shooting guard is normally relied upon to be able to shoot from the outside and provide some scoring punch. Shooting guards are usually taller than point guards, and may take a higher number of shots. The shooting guard position relates to the #2 position on the floor, being referred to as the two guard or the off guard.

The Small Forward The small forward is typically a prolific scorer and a strong defender. Versatility is normally the trademark of a good small forward, who must be big enough to play close to the basket, but quick enough to play on the perimeter. This is the #3 position on the floor, so a small forward may be referred to as a three man.

The Power Forward Like the name suggests, these players usually excel at the more physical elements of the game: rebounding and defence. They are normally among the physically strongest players on a basketball team. The power forward plays the #4 position and may be referred to as a post player, meaning he spends much of his time in the low post (close to the basket).

The Center The centre is very important as he is relied upon at both ends of the floor. On offence, the centre must be able to score inside (close to the basket), while on defence, he must block shots and rebound. The centre is usually the tallest player on the team, with most NBA centres being close to seven feet in height, if not taller. The centre is the #5 position on the floor and is often referred to as a big man or post player.

=Page 2= What is basketball

Basketball is one of the greatest sports in america in basketball there are some rules in basketball you have to have at least eight to fifteen players in a basketball team. On a basketball court there have to be five players on each team on the court there has to be a point guard, a shooting guard, a small forward, a power forward, and last a center. The basketball court is ten feet three meters high.A NBA and NCAA courts are 94' long by 50' wide.

=Page 3= THE KEY OF OFFENCE The key to offence is that you have to know how keep your hands in control keep them straight up in the air. another thing about basketball is that you never have to keep your eyes off the ball. Look at the picture above look at how he keeps his hand straight in the air how he always keeps his eyes on the basketball. If you are going to lay up always jump on your left leg if are going to lay up it doesn't matter what you are going.

THE KEY TO DEFENCE I don't understand it, "it" boggles the mind, I can understand the impetus behind the omissions but that doesn't excuse the laziness that results most mainstream media outlets outright refuse to discuss defense. Or, more specifically, they'll mention defense one time for every ten times that they mention a team's offense doing well, a team's offense faltering, a team not having enough basketballs to go around, a team not going to a certain player enough, a tea m giving too many shots to a certain player, a team playing unselfishly offensively, a team playing selfishly offensively, a team playing hesitant offensively, a team not being aggressive enough offensively, a team shooting too many threes, a team without a low-post scoring presence, a team that hasn't had time to get on the same page offensively you get the idea.

AROUND THE KEY The key is really hard thing to work with the positon that work with that are the center and the power forward it is really hard because to get the rebound you have to get in the key or you could call it the paint but sometimes there's when somebody pumpfakes and can't be in the key for at least three seconds and that's when they call three seconds in the keyand that's around the key.

SHOOTING TECHNICES == Be sure you understand that becoming great at basketball shooting whether it's making free throws, layups, 3-pointers, etc. means putting in hours of practice time. Shooting is a skill.And just like any skill, whether or not you become better or worse depends on whether or not you're praticing the correct shooting techniques.Basketball shooting is what everyone gets the most excited about. It's thrilling for the fans, players and coaches when the ball makes it through the hoop and more points are piled on. What you'll find first is information on perimiter shooting basketball like jump shots and 3-pointers. Then we'll get into what we'll call low post area shots like layups, dunks, hook shots, etc.

=Page 7= THE PERIMITER

The perimiter is the longest shot there cuould be in the NBA. It is the very long but the hardest shot for most of the NBA players but for some players it is more easyer for them.
