Since its peak in the 1990s, the NBA has since gained popularity, which ranks basketball as one of the most popular games across the world.
In 1949, BAA merged with NBL (National Basketball League) to form the present-day NBA. NBA first came into existence on 6th June 1946 in New York City as BAA (Basketball Association of America). Players run up and down the court and aim at placing the ball into the hoop. Basketball is an easy and simple game to follow. The reason for this has perhaps something to do with how players play the game.
When it comes to the most competitive sports around the globe, NBA games rank among the best.
The National Basketball Association is the leading professional basketball league in the world.
