About Throw a Basketball!
Throw a Basketball is a basketball throwing simulator on Roblox developed by Arteta Games where players train their Throw Power to score from increasingly longer distances, collect Wins from successful shots, and compete for a spot on the global Top 50 leaderboard. Launched in August 2025, it has grown to over 13 million visits with 574K favorites and a 98.4% upvote ratio - among the highest approval ratings in its genre.
The core progression is built around Throw Power, the stat that determines how far and how accurately you can shoot. Increasing it requires repetitive training and upgrade purchases, creating a satisfying incremental loop where each session extends your effective range a little further. Wins are earned from successful long-range shots and serve as the primary currency for unlocking new content and climbing the leaderboard.
Pets hatch from eggs and provide passive bonuses to either Throw Power or Wins earned per shot, giving players a secondary collection goal alongside their training grind. Rebirthing resets your stats in exchange for permanent multipliers, rewarding players willing to restart for long-term gains. Each server holds up to 8 players, so leaderboard competition in the moment is tight and personal.
Arteta Games releases updates every Saturday, creating a reliable weekly content cycle. Double Power Potions and Double Wins Potions are among the most impactful consumables available - stacking them with the Premium player bonus (20% extra Wins and Throw Power) makes training sessions significantly more efficient.
