They didn't play Basketball, they played what today is called the Mesoamerican ball game which is similar. Mayans called it Pok-o-Tok and Aztecs would call it Tlachtli, but the game was exactly the same. There would be two groups of men, each team would have three turns to touch the ball and try to score a "basket" before passing it to the other team. It was only played with their shoulders, hips and thighs.
They would play on a square court with 2 vertical walls where they would have the rings (what today is the basket). The loosing team would be sacrificed (the blood would be given to the gods).
