About Basketball

Basketball is a free online hoop-shooting game. Flick the ball toward the basket, arc it over the rim and rack up as many baskets as you can before the clock runs out. Play basketball online free with no download and no sign-up, on phone or desktop.

How to play

Favour a high, arcing shot over a flat one: a steep angle gives the ball a bigger opening as it drops straight into the hoop. Aim for the clean swish whenever you can — three points add up fast, and once the rim starts moving it pays to release just as it reaches the near edge of its swing.
