Vocabulary for basketball

Hello everyone,

I hope you are staying warm. Did you know that that is part of how basketball got started? Trying to stay warm... interesting, isn't it?

With the Olympics coming to Tokyo this year, I figured we should introduce sports terms in English for our members. Since the Seiritsu high school basketball team won their Tokyo tournament, I decided to start with basketball.

Here are a few phrases you might hear at the basketball games: hoop, possession, rebound, and technical foul. Can you guess what they are in Japanese?

Let's enjoy sports and the Olympics. And enjoy English at the same time!
