Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world and one of the most widely viewed. Although official games of basketball require 10 players, you can play a game of basketball legends with just one other person. You can also go out and shoot baskets by yourself. If you want to play basketball competitively, you can become a member of a team and get involved in local competition. Check out your local sports centres and associations for information on how to join a team, or start your own.
