Basketball is one of the two most popular sports in the world, the other being football/soccer. Their rankings interchange, depending on which country the survey is don.
Because of its popularity over time, basketball has earned its way to be the face of sports. Michael Jordan, one of the most celebrated players of all time, has become a household name when it comes to basketball that “The Jumpman” logo of Nike for Air Jordan shoes is a silhouette of him doing a slam dunk.
With that, here are other basketball silhouette designs that you may use for your personal or design needs.

Different Types of Basketball
Contrary to popular belief that there is only one way to basketball—the one we see on TV; have you heard of NBA?—there are actually a lot of variations to play the sport, just like there are variations of dancing silhouettes and not only hip hop or ballroom.
Here are some of the interesting versions of the game:
- Water basketball. This variation can be referred to as the love child of basketball and waterpolo and is usually played in a wide swimming pool. It was only until 2005 that water basketball was considered a type of basketball.
- Horse ball. A polo-rugby-basektball combo in one game, this is how the horse ball is roughly described as. The game is played with players riding the back of a horse.
- Wheelchair basketball. One of the most popular sport for the disabled, wheelchair basketball is for those physically impaired and are in wheelchairs. The basic rules of the game are the same as the common basketball game.
- Net ball. Formerly referred to as “women’s basketball”, this variation is now open to male players. Net ball’s objective is the same with the basketball we know, to score by shooting in designated hoops. However, instead of five, net ball is played with seven players in a team.
