In basketball there are always five people on the basketball court at a time for each team. This is common knowledge if you watch basketball, or if you just look on the court when people are playing. But speaking to a lot of people who aren’t too familiar with the game are always confused about the positions. They don’t really get the concept of what each player does or what’s their role. But it’s not that simple, no position has a specific role. It’s all based on the team and what pieces they have.
Having a conversation with someone like your grandmother who doesn’t know too much about basketball is the easiest way to get a laugh in. They are clueless and seeing them try to understand what you are saying on the first try is comical. It just doesn’t click for them. The funniest part is that if you ask them about that conversation thirty minutes later they would have no clue as to what you were talking about. It’s just all a blur. Not knowing the positions in sports causes more confusion and chaos if you already don’t really understand the rules of the game.
One of the best options to helping people get the concept is to explain it to them. Make them understand what you’re saying by breaking it down to them. Even if that means putting it in terms they can understand or comprehend. It will benefit you in the long run because at least they will know what’s going on now. They will be able to enjoy something that means a lot to you.
The best option to help your peers or people who don’t understand the game of basketball is to sit them down in front of a television and let them watch the game. Let them figure things out about the game on their own. See if they will develop an interest in the game. Understanding the positions is easy . It goes point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. Or you can keep them in that order and go 1-5.
A lot of misconceptions come with finding out these positions. A lot of people think just because you’re the point guard you have to bring the ball up. Or just because you’re the shooting guard means you’re the best shooter on the floor. That’s not true at all. It’s just positions that people fill. The best five players on the team will play and try to help the team win.
