A basketball player on the outdoor court
This scene presents a boy with a basketball near the hoop where shots are taken. An outdoor court provides the marked playing surface, while the raised rim and backboard form the scoring target. Holding the ball securely is important before passing, dribbling, or beginning a shot, and players also watch the hoop and the positions of teammates and defenders.
How outdoor basketball changes with the setting
Outdoor courts are commonly made from asphalt or concrete, so outdoor basketballs often have durable rubber covers that tolerate rough surfaces. Wind can affect high shots and long passes more than it does inside a gym. Players may also need to account for sunlight and the temperature of the court while practicing.
Real-world colors of the player and basketball court
- Basketball: usually orange or reddish brown with black channels
- Jersey and shorts: made in many colors depending on the team
- Athletic shoes: commonly white, black, or multicolored
- Hoop rim: typically orange with a white net
- Backboard and court: backboards are often clear or white, while outdoor courts may be gray, green, blue, or red
