Ball is life! The Basketball emoji, also known as Basketball and Hoop emoji, represents no other than an orange basketball. In the previous renders of Samsung and Google, the emoji used to include a hoop. Nowadays, most platforms only show the basketball itself. This orange ball emoji means nothing more than the basketball itself or related references, whether an NBA game, professional players, or a particular season.

In case you didn’t know yet, this sport consists of two teams with a maximum of five players on each. It requires strategy, teamwork, and agile movement for greater chances of winning. Its aim is to outscore the other team by throwing the basketball and making it shoot through the hoop. If the ball is shot anywhere beyond the three-point line, your team is awarded three points. And if from the inside, two points are awarded.

Did you know that on Facebook Messenger, if you send the basketball emoji to a friend or a group chat, you can activate a secret game? The same way when sending the Soccer Ball emoji, it will activate a ball game where you could outscore one another by successfully shooting the basketball through the hoop. If you’re bored or you feel competitive, sending the basketball emoji on Facebook is actually a fun way to interact and bond with friends!

🏀 Basketball is a fully-qualified emoji as part of Unicode 6.0 which was introduced in 2010.
