Free Basketball Games Online

When it was first build the internet was used for military or political reasons. But in time it expanded in the United States, and after that all over the worlds, and now it is used for so many activities. For example you can buy or sell from the internet, read news and information, communicate with other people, listen to music, download movies but also play some cool games. With time they appeared many sites with free online games and most of them are giving you the chance to play the games directly from their site. But you can also download some of the games if you like them. Most of these games are using the flash technology, that means they have a pretty simple graphic and they are easy to play. They are also very short and it will take you about 5-10 minutes to finish a funny online game. The size of these games is really small, and they will take just a few kilobyes or megabytes from your hard disk (if you wish to download them). This is really low in comparison with a normal computer video game, which has about 5 Gigabytes or even more. But anyway, most of the people are playing them directly online, so they won't take any space from your hard disk.

The topics of the games are very diversified, and there is a game for everybody. You can find games just for the children or games just for the adults but most of them are for any person no matter the age. Some of them are funny and dumb, some are more intelligent or educative but they are all made to get you relaxed and to have fun. There are many categories for example: shooting games, adventure games, racing games and so on. For the fans of sports there are many types of sport games. You can play soccer, volleyball, golf, pool, ski, surf and many more, and if you like basketball there are also many games with this sport. Today we'll be talking about some of the free online basketball games.

One of them is the "Trick hoops challenge" game. The games only one rule. If you score your opponent will have to do the same trick as you did or he loses a point. It's the same for you: when he scores you will have to do the exact same trick. There are 9 levels to play, and each one comes with a different opponent. When you wan to throw the ball, click on it, and then drag the mouse until you see the red arrow. After that move the arrow left or right to set the direction of the ball, and up or down to set the power of the shot. The winner is the first player with 3 points. There are six types of shots: normal, floor shot, wall shoot, moonshot, board or swish, and you can see an image of each one on the screen. Before you throw you will be announced what kind of shot you have to take. If you are challenged you must do the indicated shot, and if you aren't you can do any kind of shot you want. It's a really fun basketball game. Enjoy it!

Another one is called "Street basketball". Even though it is written in Japanese or Chinese, it is simple to enter the game, just press the "Let's go" button. From what we noticed the game is very simple. You only have to click on the player, when the power bar is at the middle level, and the player will score. If you shot too soon, the shot will not be powerful enough and if you shot too late, the ball will go too far. Just score as many points as you want, until you get bored :). We are not sure if this is this is the only purpose of this game, but if you can read the writings from the game and find anything else, just let us know.

Now let's play a game with girl players, which is called "Flash Basketballer girl" game. It is also a Japanese game, but it's much more fun than the previous one. If you don't understand the writings, just click on the first bars, and you will enter the game. Here you will have a girl player, and she will be placed at different distances from the basket. When you place your mouse button near the ball, you will see the red arrow. Just move it up or down to set the height of the shot, and left or right to set the power. You will have to calculate your angle and power of the shot, according to the distance between the girl and the basket. When you are ready with the settings, just click on the screen, and the girl will throw the ball. You have a limited number of balls, and you will have to score as many points as possible. Good luck!

Another game is the "Shockwave basketball". This one is much more realistic, and you will have a real player and you'll play an one-to-one game with an opponent. You can control your player using the arrow keys. You will have to move in all the directions to trick your opponent, and at the right time you will have to shoot. To throw the ball press the space bar. You will also get extra points for style. The time is limited, so be careful!
