In basketball, there are 5 players on each team on the court. They may all seem like they each have the same goal: scoring the ball. However, it isn't. There are 5 positions on the lineup for each team: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Each position has great responsibilities and a huge part in scoring opportunities and points. For example, when a player drives to the basket, he needs help from other players, in order to score points. If there weren't these positions, the team would get unorganized, would quarrel, and create less scoring opportunities, points, and good defensive strategies.
