košarka

Košarka, or basketball in English, is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by throwing a ball through the opposing team’s hoop or basket. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop elevated at each end. Players can advance the ball by dribbling or passing, and the objective is to score more points than the opposing team by shooting the ball into their basket while also defending their own basket from the opposing team’s attempts to score. The sport emphasizes physical endurance, agility, teamwork, and strategy, and it is governed by specific rules regarding fouls, violations, and gameplay. Košarka is popular on a global scale, with professional leagues, international competitions, and a significant following among fans.
