Playing basketball is a social construct. No two people play basketball exactly the same, and many people don’t even play by the exact socially accepted rules. Despite all these things, we can still use imprecise, incomplete words to usefully communicate groups of shared behaviors and preferences, and even offer nuance about those sets of behaviors and preferences, when the situation calls for it.
That’s my very point. Basketball is a social construct, and it’s also real. It’s subjective, open to change, means different things to different people, but it’s still very real.
