basketball

An American variation on the English girls' sport of netball. Netball is somewhat challenging as it places an emphasis upon throwing accuracy by forcing participants to stay on the spot in which they take possession of the ball. These rules were relaxed to allow the less-skilled-than-English-girls American players to run with the ball.
Chap number one: What-ho, Jeremy! The Yanks are playing netball!
Chap number two: Goodness, no, Cedric, that is one of their sports, they call it basketball - look, no gals and the rules are relaxed!
Chap number one: Bless their cotton socks.

basketball

1. a game which involves lots of jamming of the fingers and being too short to make the ball anywhere close to the net

2. a sphere of the color orange that has a very strong urge to jam fingers
Josh: Bro! Lets go play some basketball
Andrew: As long as it wont jam my fingers!

Basketball

The absolute best game ever to play...........SIKE its considered a very amazing sport and I agree it is but it is not the best sport, Football overall in America at least is the best sport to eat h no some people may not love playing it so they choose something "a little less rough" LOL some of these sports including Basketball,baseball(who h can be dangerous), Hockey,soccer and tennis. That concludes my opinion piece.
"Omg basketball is boring let's watch the Texans" "how about.you play basketball and see if its boring"
