'''Basketball''' is a popular [[sport]] that was invented by [[James Naismith]] in the 1890s. The game is played with a basketball, which is a ball that is usually colored orange with black stripes. Generally, there are five players on each team and each team tries to "shoot" the basketball through their opponent's "baskets" (orange metal rims that are ten feet high). The ball is advanced by "dribbling" (moving the ball down the court of play by bouncing) and by passing the ball among teammates. Walking with the ball is not permitted, and is called "traveling".
