My favourite sport

Do you love basketball? It's my favourite sport. It's one of the most popular sports in the United States. Even President Obama enjoys it! It's also very popular in Europe, Asia and Africa. You can play it inside or outside, but you must have a ball, two baskets and a court for this sport. Players wear shorts, shirts and trainers. There are two teams and each team has got five players. Players bounce and throw the ball and try to get it into the basket in order to get points. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
