There is a ton of physics in basketball. There is running, jumping, shooting, and many more activities that go along with physics in basketball. the main one is shooting. When you shoot the ball in the air, it is a projectile until it leaves touches the hoop. If you have to shoot a really far shot you have to shoot at a angle of 45 degrees so that it can go the farthest possible distance. If you can figure out the velocity you have to shoot the ball, the height that you need to jump at and release the ball then you can make the same shot every single time if you can duplicate it the same way. Overall there is a lot of physics in basketball to much for a single person to think about that is why I only mentioned one aspect of the game.
