Basketball has too many rules, its like you can't take a step in a game without quizzing yourself what is the right legal move to do next. Its just for fun, why so many pointless rules? Amirite?

Just remember, No physical contact, don't step out of bounds, and always kepp bouncing the ball. That's how I survive the basketball unit in PE. XD

Really? Basketball is simple, and yes, I do know what I'm talking about. I'm playing high school basketball, and I watch the NBA all the time.

Some of it is just so people don't get hurt. Like if a ref doesn't call any fouls when all the defense is doing is hacking the shooter, someone's bound to get hurt so they try to stop it. Also they have them to stop people from going out of control, some examples are the double-dribbling and traveling rules. If you just run around with the ball 1. you're going to look stupid and 2. it's really not fair for anyone and it's not fun. For me, when I'm playing I don't think about any of the rules, it just comes naturally. I also play high school basketball so I know what I'm talking about.

Basketball's a lot more mental-based than most people think. The rules help you outwit your opponents, and after a while, they become natural and fluid, like any other sport's myriad rules.
