In this diagram from the player's hands to their teammate's hands, the ball gradually moved downward. The ball moved downward because of gravity. Gravity effects everything on the earth. When you throw a ball to your teammate you have to throw it higher then when you want them to catch because gravity effects it.
The frame of reference is different for the passer and the observer. Frame of Reference is a position or movement by two or more people. The basketball is a projectile fired from one point to it's destination point. While the path looks straight, it is actually a downward parabola because gravity acts on the ball. For the ball to leave the player’s hand, the player must exert a force on the ball. Once the ball leaves the player’s hands it becomes a projectile, acted upon by two independent forces. The two forces that are acting on the ball is gravity and the amount of force the player used.
When you pass a ball you have to throw the ball slightly higher because gravity is always acting on it. Also another factor to consider is if the receiving player is stationary or moving. If the player is moving the ball must be thrown in front of the player to assure that it makes it to the player because the ball can only travel in a straight line once it leaves the players hands.
