Cause and effect of basketball are f​ ouling.​ If you foul someone then you
have a foul put on you. At a certain point in the game when you have a
certain amount, you get fouled out of the whole game. The final thing is the
more fouls you put on the more they score and have a better chance of

winning.

Compare and contrast to basketball from football is that one is more
aggressive than the other. Another, thing different that in football you have
to wear protective padding and in basketball, you only have to wear a
jersey, high tops, and shorts. The comparison of these two sports is that
they both involve using a ball.

Description text structure of a basketball is height and what you do in
it. The height of an average player in the ​NBA ​is 7”0 and the weight is
around 250-300 pounds. What you do in basketball is you have to protect
the ball and try to get it in the hoop to score and win. When the opposing
team has the ball you have to prevent them from scoring by blocking or
stealing.

How to play basketball, First you need to start practicing dribbling or having
control over the ball so you can keep it away from the other team. Second,
you need to practice shooting and r​ ebounding​ so if you miss you can get
the ball back and shoot again. Then you need to practice passing the ball
so if a person is open on your team then pass them the ball and then they
can shoot or drive in. Finally, you can try to ​dribble​ the ball behind your
back or in between your legs so it’s harder for the opposing team to steal.
That is how you play basketball.

The problem and solution of basketball are when the other team s​ teals​ the
ball. When the other team has the ball after they steal it from you or
another teammate just try to steal it back. Another way to get it back is by
blocking the ball when they shoot it or when they pass it. The final way to
get the ball back is when they dribble towards you, you can attempt to get
the ball back.
