The Front Court refers to the offensive half of the court. It is the area where a team's basket is located and extends to the mid-court line.
The Frontcourt is also used to describe the taller players on a team. These players typically include the Center, Power Forward, and Small Forward. They usually play closer to the basket than the Guards.
A strong Frontcourt can dominate The Paint and score easily near the hoop.
Some famous frontcourt duos include Tim Duncan and David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs. Another notable pairing was Shaquille O'Neal and Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers.
