The basketball court comes in different shapes and sizes. In the National Basketball Association , the court is 94 feet long by 50 feet wide (28.65 m by 15.24 m). A FIBA court is slightly smaller, at 28 m by 15 m. In street ball the court is much smaller than in NBA. The free throw lane is 12 feet wide and 15 feet long. The distance from the free throw line to the three-point line is 4 feet 9 inches long. The bottom block to the baseline is 4 feet. The center circle's diameter is 12 feet, which is where they have the Jump Ball to start the game. The distance to the Three Point arc has changed twice in the history of basketball. In the 1979-1980 season the three-point arc was moved back to its original 23’ 9", while the college range is 19’ 9", and the international distance is 20’ 6". During halfcourt basketball, you must return to the top of the key in order to shoot. You can dribble, pass, and shoot during a basketball game. REFERENCES
