<human>:  What are the basic rules of basketball?
<bot>: The game is played by two teams of five players each.2Each team attempts to score by shooting a ball through a hoop 10 feet above the ground.3The court is divided into two halves by a mid-court line.4A jump ball is used to start the game and each quarter.5Players cannot touch the ball with their hands, except for the player taking the ball out from their own basket.6A player cannot run with the ball, but must dribble (bounce it) instead.7Touching the rim or backboard is also prohibited.8Players can move anywhere around the court as long as they do not hold the ball.9Physical contact with an opponent must be limited and is not permitted when it gives a player an advantage.10Violations, such as traveling (taking too many steps without bouncing the ball), result in a change in possession.
