Snoop Dogg and Warren G joined British triple jumper Phillips Idowu in a 3 on 3 basketball match against GB basketballers in the Olympic borough of Greenwich, London, to mark the one year to go countdown to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Basketball goes from strength to strength and is played in sports clubs, leisure centres and on courts across the country. It's fast, skilful and fun. It is popular with both sexes and most age groups.
Never played basketball? Teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by throwing a ball (shooting) through a 10 foot high basket. You can get the ball to the opponents end of the court by bouncing the ball forward (dribbling) or by passing the ball between team mates. Players have certain playing positions as well as offensive and defensive structures.
