The only thing I can think of is a lobbed shot at the basket will approximately follow the path of a parabola, which is one of the conic sections.

What conic sections describes a closed curve?
An ellipse is a conic section which is a closed curve. A circle is a special case of an ellipse.
What are conics?
Conics, or conic sections, are the intersection of a plane with an infinite double cone. If that plane cuts both cones, it is a hyperbola. If it is parallel to the edge of the cone, you get a parabola. If neither is the case, it is an ellipse. The ellipse is also a circle if the plane is perpendicular to the altitude of the cone. Note that none of these are the case if the plane passes through the vertex of the cone.

Which Conic sections describes a closed curve?
Circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas are all conic sections. Out of these conic sections, the circle and ellipse are the ones which define a closed curve.
What are the conic sections in a building?
The conic sections of a building are the parts that take a conic shaped design some examples would be the Berlin Reichstag Dome and the Sony Center in Berlin.

Why are conic section called conic sections?
Circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas are called conic sections because they can be obtained as a intersection of a plane with a double- napped circular cone. If the plane passes through vertex of the double-napped cone, then the intersection is a point, a pair of straight lines or a single line. These are called degenerate conic sections. Because they are sections of a cone or a cone shaped object.
