Basketball Basics: Rules and Skills Guide by Shai Reen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith in Massachusetts to be played indoors during winter. The basic rules are that two opposing teams of 5 players each try to score points by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet from the floor. Field goals inside the 3 point arc are worth 2 points and those outside are worth 3 points. Fouls result in free throw attempts worth 1 or 2 points depending on the foul.
