Abstract
Basketball is a fastest ball game in the world. Over the years this versatile game has become popular worldwide. In this game, full speed is seldom achieved by a player so that the player must have ability to stop and change direction quickly to get success. This suggests that a compromise must be reached between the use of out-right speed and the use of controlled speed so that he can drop quickly and change direction on demand. Basketball player is most effective when he can start quickly and move with “controlled speed” to a given spot on the floor. Therefore, Basketball is more often a game of nimble and quick bursts of speed from side to side and fluent forward and backward movements on playing surface. Moreover, shooting is an important skill required in Basketball. The shooting skill, like other skills of Basketball, requires a more powerful concentration.
