Sequence information about basketball
How to get in the NBA

First you have to tryout in high school 9th grade to 12th grade
if you make it and play really good you can get a scholarship so,
you don’t have to tryout for college teams and make it. If you
don’t get a s​ cholarship​ you would have to tryout for college and
if you play good there and get scouted by the NBA if they want
you in the team. Then, you can get drafted by a team.

Compare and Contrast information about basketball

How passing and alley-oop are are different and same
When you pass to a teammate it is just a regular pass for a shot
or layup. In an alley-oop you pass it up high to the basket and
the person who is dunking it has to jump in the air to get the ball
and dunk it before landing. In a regular pass there are different
types of of passes like behind the back passes, bounce passes, and
chest passes. An ​alley-oop​ is just a lob pass. They are the same
because they are both passes to teammates and you get assists to
from both.

Cause and Effect information about basketball
How yelling at the referee can affect your team and you
If you are frustrated at the referee about some calls and fouls
they don’t call and you yell at them then, get mad it’s bad. The
effect is that you get a technical foul which means that they get
a free throw and they get their p​ ossession​ back. It can affect the
team because the other team can get less points than they were
going to without a ​free throw​. The effect for you can be that if
you get too much technical foul throughout the season you can’t
play for a game.

Problem and Solution information about basketball
​Having trouble dribbling

The one reason people have problem ​dribbling​ is because they
either double dribble or travel. To avoid that don’t pick up the
ball only if you need to ​shoot​ or pass or if you pick up the ball
and run with it you will be called for a travel. Keep your hand
infront of you so they can’t force you to pick the ball up. If you
want to avoid double dribbling you can switch hands and dribble
with other hand instead of picking the ball up and dribbling
again which would be a double dribble.
