Hello, iam Mary Lucas, G’day, mate.
What Are 10 Terms Used In Basketball? [Solved]
An airball is when you take a shot at the basket but it doesn’t even hit the backboard. An alley-oop is when one player throws the ball up to another player who then dunks it. An assist is when you pass the ball to a teammate who then scores. The backboard is the board behind the basket that helps keep shots in bounds. Box out means to position yourself between an opponent and the basket so they can’t get a rebound. A brick is when you take a shot and it clangs off of the rim or backboard without going in. A double-double means getting double digits in two categories, like points and rebounds, during one game. Double dribble happens when you dribble twice with one hand before passing or shooting - that’s illegal!
