Excerpt
A basketball player can be defined as a "person who participates in a game played by two teams of five players each, the object being to propel a large, spheroid ball through a circular steel rim, usually elevated to a height of ten feet." The generality and vagueness of this definition leaves much to be desired, for there is more to achieving the distinction of "basketball player" than mastering the basic concepts of "spheroid" and "steel rim."
