Like basketball, the game is played on a hard court with scoring rings at both ends, and with a ball resembling a basketball (but lighter, smaller and slightly softer in construction). The rings, whilst of similar height and dimension to basketball hoops, do not have a "backboard". The field is divided into thirds which regulate where individuals in each team are allowed to move, and two semi-circular "shooting circles" at each end from within which all scoring shots must be taken.\n\nThere are seven players on each team, who are given nominated, named positions (and in competitive netball must wear "bibs" or "patches" showing the abbreviations below indicating that position). They are only allowed in certain areas of the court, as described below:\n\nNetball positions \nPosition Name Abbreviation Opponent Areas permitted \nGoal Shooter GS Goal Keeper Attacking goal third including shooting circle \nGoal Attack GA Goal Defence Attacking goal third, shooting circle, and center third \nWing Attack WA Wing Defence Attacking goal third and centre third, not shooting circle \nCentre C Centre Everywhere except shooting circles \nWing Defence WD Wing Attack Defensive goal third and center third, not shooting circle \nGoal Defence GD Goal Attack Defensive goal third and center third, including shooting circle \nGoal Keeper GK Goal Shooter Defensive goal third, including shooting circle \n\nBy the combination of the above, only the Goal Attack and Goal Shooter are able to score goals directly.\n\nNetball rules do not permit players to take more than one step in possession of the ball. Consequently, the only way to move the ball towards the goal is to throw the ball to a teammate. The ball cannot be held by one person for more than 3 seconds at any one time. This, combined with the restrictions on where players can move, ensures that everyone on the team is regularly involved in play. Defence is restricted -- not only is contact not permitted, but players must be at least three feet (90 centimetres) away to defend, meaning that hard physical contact is rare. If contact is made, the ball must be passed to the team against which the penalty was committed.\n\nA game is played in 4 quarters of 15 minutes each, with an interval of 3 minutes between the first and second and third and fourth quarters and an interval of 5 minutes at half time. There is up to 2 minutes of time allowed for each injury.

Like what ? the dots ? Yeah , I like dots .

International hoops are 450-457mm and the NBA hoops are 18 inches = 457mm. The International could be a possible 7 mm smaller. Just the rule differences, but they are probably the same hoops.

what does this have to do with basketball?

Basketball is played by two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, generally 50 by 94 feet for college and professional teams, 50 by 84 feet for high school players. (These dimensions are called "ideal" in the rules; they are not definitely prescribed, and high school teams often have smaller courts.) The court is divided into halves by the halfcourt line.\n\nAt the center of a court is the center jump circle, and at either end of the court, 4 feet from the end line, there is a basket, a rim 18 in in diameter and 10 feet above the floor, from which hangs a net of white cord 15 to 18 in long. Behind each basket is a backboard. For college and professional play, it is a glass rectangle 72 in wide by 48 in high; high schools may use a fan-shaped backboard 54 in wide. Beneath each basket a 12-foot lane (16 feet in professional play) is marked, ending at the free throw line, which is 15 feet from the basket. The free throw circle is inscribed around the line.\n\nThe 3-point line is an arc 19 feet, 9 inches from the basket in college basketball, 20 feet, 6 inches under international rules. In the NBA, the line is 23 feet, 9 inches from the basket for most of its length but only 22 feet away in the corners.\n\nThe basketball is spherical, 29 ½ to 30 inches in circumference and 20 to 22 ounces in weight. When dropped from a height of 6 feet a properly inflated ball will bounce to a height of 49-54 inches.

It all depends to the refernce in which its talk about... it could be measurement of something.. like paper for example (but with specific units)\nit could be.. dots per inch (dpi) but not very usual figures for dpi....\nor could be just what others say.... 6210

"colored"?  hmmm...  95% of the NBA is black, and there is one purple guy, onw green and yellow polka-dot colored guy, and one dude who is "colored" like a giraffe.

Yes, it is possible.\n\nDenote the number of black dots belonging to a red dot by N.\n\nThe present problem is formulated for N=10.\n\nLet us first solve a simpler problem with N=2.\n\nStep 1. \nTake a square, that is a four-sided regular polygon, with the side equal to R. Put the two red dots at the opposite [i.e., connected by a diagonal] vertices of the square. Put the two black dots at the remaining two vertices. If you draw a circle of radius R around each of the two red dots, you will find exactly 2 black dots lying precisely on the circle line. The problem is almost solved, but the number of red dots (2) is equal to the number of black dots (2).\n\nStep 2. \nTake another square and repeat the above procedure. \nNow we have the two square compounds. In total we have 4 red dots and 4 black dots.\n\nStep 3. \nPut the 5th red dot anywhere in the plane and draw a circle of radius R around it. \nDrag each of the above compounds as a whole closer to this circle. \nPlace one of the black dots belonging to the first compound and one of the black dots belonging to the second compound on the circle line surrounding the 5th red dot.\n\nWhile doing so, make sure that you move and rotate each compound as a whole, keeping all the sides of the squares equal to R. \n\nThe problem with N=2 has been solved: in total we have 5 red dots and 4 black dots satisfying the condition of the problem, 5>4. \n\nLet us solve the same problem for N=3.\n\nIn this case, one has to extend the Step 1.\n\nStep 1a. \nHaving constructed the square compound according to the Step 1 above, draw parallel vectors of length R starting at the vertices of the square. Make sure that the vectors do NOT coincide with the sides of the square. \nIf the vector starts at the red vertex, put the black dot at the end of the vector. If the vector starts at the black vertex, put the red dot at the end of the vector. \n\nNow we have one compound consisting of the two shifted squares containing 4 red dots and 4 black dots. If you draw a circle of R around each of the four red dots, you will find exactly 3 black dots lying precisely on the circle line.\n\nStep 2. Repeat the procedure 1+1a.\nStep 2a. Repeat the procedure 1+1a.\n\nNow that we have 3 compounds with equal numbers of red and black dots (in total 12 red dots and 12 black dots), put the 13th red dot anywhere in the plane and follow the instructions from Step 3 above.\n\nThe problem with N=3 has been solved: in total we have 13 red dots and 12 black dots satisfying the condition of the problem, 13>12. \n\nFor N=4, take the compound constructed for N=3 at Step 1a and translate ALL 8 vertices by a vector of length R.\nAgain, if the vector starts at the red vertex, put the black dot at the end of the vector and vice versa. You will have 8 red dots and 8 black dots, etc.\n\nThe above procedure applies to an arbitrary N, in particular to N=10.\n\n\nAn interesting question is: what is the minimal number of dots needed to solve the problem for a given N.

The "paint" is the red(or solid color) rectangle under the net. It's usally under the net, and extends a few feet out. Shaq O Neal is considered a great player "in the paint" because he is almost unstoppable when he is that close to the net. So Points in the paint are when someone is standing in the painted area of the floor, and scores. Whethre it'd be a slam dunk, a hook shot, whatever, that's what paints in the point are. Pick-n-roll's are usually an offensive move. I believe it means, for example, a player has the ball(in this case lets use Allen Iverson) and he's being defended really well by the other team. Well one of AI's teammates would come over and stand in front or block the guy defending AI, which gives Iverson a chance to "roll" around and attempt a better, more open shot. Not 100% sure on that though. Hope this helps.

The shortest player in the league right now is Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets he is 5'5" but he is African American.  The next shortest guy is Yuta Tabuse he is Japanese and he is 5'9".  There is like a 15 guy tie for white guys at 6'1".  I hope this helps.  Take care.

What do you mean?  The new synthetic leather NBA basketballs?  If so, according to some sports scribes, the new Spalding balls all bounce up the same way and at the same height unlike the old leather Spalding balls which vary from product to product.\n\nHope this helps.
