A basketball playbook, like any sports playbook, involves compilation of strategies the team would like to use during games. The playbook starts as a canvas picture of the basketball court with all its boundaries and lines. On top of that, the playmaker can draw O's for players on offense, and X's for players on defense. Specifically however, playmaker will need to number them for different positions. They are:
| Basketball positions | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guards | 1. Point Guard | Combo Guard (PG/SG) | ||
| 2. Shooting Guard | Swingman (SG/SF) | |||
| Forwards | 3. Small Forward | Cornerman (PF/SF) | ||
| 4. Power Forward | Point Forward (PG/PF, PG/SF) | |||
| Center Striker | 5. Center | Forward-Center (PF/C) | ||
| Captain | Head Coach | Referees and officials | ||||
The following are a list of playbook plays commonly used in basketball throughout the world.

Famous quotes containing the word basketball:
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
