Košarka

Košarka is the term for basketball in the HR (Croatian) language. Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of five players each, compete to score points by shooting a spherical ball through the opponent’s hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular court, with a hoop at each end. Players can advance the ball toward the hoop by dribbling (bouncing the ball while running) or passing it to teammates. The aim is to outscore the opposing team within a predetermined time limit, usually divided into four quarters. Basketball includes various skills such as shooting, passing, dribbling, and defense, making it a fast-paced and dynamic sport enjoyed by millions worldwide.
