Hi Can you tell me a little about basketball?
1_Wizard
The objective to basketball is to shoot a ball through a hoop that is mounted high on a backboard at the end of a court.

Interesting! when did this game start?
1_Wizard
The game was invented around 1891.  It has been around a while!

That's a long time! Has the game changed over time?
1_Wizard
Not quite sure.  I think the free throws have always been involved.  A team can score one point with a free throw after another team is fouled.

Oh i see. Anything else cool about it?

In the NBA, most players make about 70-80% of their free throw attempts.

Probably not, ha.  Reggie Miller is one of the league's best shooters.
