Positions in basketball / Amy B. Rogers.

Summary:

"Basketball has changed a lot over time. In the earliest days of the sport, there were no rules for how many players could be on the court at one time. Some early games even had 50 people from each team on the court together! Today, though, things look a lot simpler, with five players per team on the court. These five players often play different positions, and each position has a special job that goes along with it-from scoring points to getting rebounds. What are these different positions, and how do they work together to help their team win? Read on to find out!"-- Provided by publisher.
