Many people play basketball. Some of the more popular players play for the NBA--that's the basketball most people watch on TV--and college basketball.
Basketball has many rules to it. Some of the rules involve getting free shots and some just make the other team pass in. If you have 5 fouls you get sent out of the game where you go to the bench and wait until the game is over. If you hit someone's wrist mid-shot, then they go to the foul line where they get two shots unless the shot still makes it in--then they get one shot to have a chance of coming home with 3.
