The object of knockout basketball is to knock out the player in front of you and continue until you are the last player standing. Players line up single file at the free throw line. The first two players in line each get a basketball. The first player shoots. If he makes it, he throws the ball to the next person standing in line and goes to the back of the line. If he misses it, he rebounds the ball and attempts to score a basket as quickly as possible. The second player shoots the ball after the first player makes the shot or his ball hits the rim. If he sinks a basket before the first player makes a basket, he throws the ball to the next person in line and goes to the back of the line. At that point the first player has been knocked out and is no longer part of the game.
