Basketball has been a Summer Olympics sport for men consistently since 1936. Prior to its inclusion as a medal sport, it was held as demonstration event in 1904. Women’s basketball was played in the Olympics only since 1976.

The United States is by far the most successful nation in Olympic basketball. United States men’s teams won 13 of 16 tournaments they participated in, including seven successive titles from 1936 to 1968. United States women’s teams won 6 titles out of 8 participations, including four in a row from 1996 to 2008.

MyScore on Google Doodle’s Basket Ball game ;(

London 2012 basketball is the thirteenth London Olympics doodle, carrying on the tradition of a Google doodle every day of the Olympics.

The sport of basketball needs no introduction, as it is one of the most popular sports in the world. Basketball is played by teams of 5 players each, and is one of the most fast-paced, high-scoring games around.

The doodle itself is in the form of a game, where the user’s aim is to make the athlete score as many points as possible. Press the spacebar to shoot – the longer you hold the spacebar before shooting, the further the ball goes.
