Q: How many players are on a Basketball team?  

There are typically five players on a basketball team: three forwards (small forward, power forward, and center), one shooting guard, and one point guard.

Basketball is a team sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective of the game is to score points by shooting a ball through a hoop, or basket, mounted high on a backboard at each end of the court. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Players can score points by shooting the ball through the basket or by free throws, which are awarded after a foul is committed. The game is played with a round ball and there are rules governing how the ball can be handled and moved by the players.
