The NBA, or National Basketball Association, is a professional basketball league in North America composed of 30 teams. It is widely regarded as the premier men’s professional basketball league in the world. Founded in New York City on June 6, 1946, as the Basketball Association of America (BAA), it merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) in 1949 to become the NBA. The league’s teams are divided into two conferences: the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, which are further divided into three divisions each.
The NBA season typically runs from October to April, with teams competing in an 82-game regular season, followed by a playoff tournament that culminates in the NBA Finals, where the conference champions compete for the championship title. The league is known for its high level of athleticism, skilled players, and significant cultural impact, including contributions to music and fashion. The NBA has produced many legendary players, such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant, and has a global fan base, with extensive international viewership and events.
