ALL ABOUT NBA

Currently, the NBA consists of 30 teams, 29 of which represent the United States and only the Toronto Raptors represent Canada. The league includes 2 conferences - Western and Eastern, each of which has its own standings and champions. The champions of the two conferences meet in the NBA Finals, and the first team to win 4 wins in 7 playoffs is declared the league champion.

In total, teams are divided into divisions in the Western and Eastern Conferences. Here is the full list:

NBA All-Star Weekend

All-Star Weekend is an annual holiday that usually takes place in mid-February. The icing on the cake is the tournament's all-star game itself, which selects the best players in both conferences. All-Star Weekend also includes many other activities such as exciting dunk competitions and 3-point elimination competitions. The best players compete in various challenges (such as the Skills Challenge), as well as famous people take part in the NBA All-Star Game, so All-Star Weekend is the most anticipated event of the season for all basketball fans.

NBA Awards - MVPs and others

The Basketball Association has 12 annual awards in recognition of teams, players and coaches. Perhaps the most important individual award is the "MVP" or Maurice Podoloff Trophy, which is given to the most valuable player in the regular season. There are two other MVP awards for players - All-Star MVP, named after the late Kobe Bryant, and NBA Finals MVP, also known as the Bill Russell Trophy. Other individual excellence awards are Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year. In general, the Basketball Association includes its best players on two levels of All-NBA teams by position: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. The first All-NBA team is the best of the best, but there is a second All-NBA, as well as All-Rookie and All-Defensive.

NBA Playoffs

The NBA Playoffs is a mini-tournament after the league's regular season has ended. It uses a best-of-seven format in which the top 8 teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences compete to advance to the Finals in their respective independent groups. Post-season games are played in a 2-2-1-1-1 format, with the higher seeded team having a four-game lead in a seven-game home run. The NBA Playoffs are one of the most recognizable and watched sporting events in the world.

MATCH SCHEDULE

During the NBA's regular basketball season, which runs from October to April, the League plays a large number of games.

It consisted of 2 divisions, it included 11 teams: Boston Celtics, Chicago Stags, Cleveland Rebels, Detroit Falcons, New York Knickerbockers, Philadelphia Warriors, Pittsburgh Ironmen, Providence Steamrollers, St Louis Bombers, Toronto and Washington Capitols.

Since 1985, a draft lottery has been held to determine the order in which teams are selected. It determines the clubs that will be selected first in the draft. It depends on the performance of the club in the past season (teams that took the last places in the championship receive the first right to choose newcomers).

Clubs are allowed to exchange draft picks for either another position in the queue or players from other teams.

Salary ceiling

salary cap salary cap ) - a document that takes into account all the nuances: a salary limit is defined for all categories of basketball players - from beginners to those who have played 10 or more seasons. The maximum team spending on NBA player salaries was introduced in 1984 by league commissioner David Stern. A rookie cannot earn less than $385,000, but in the first six years, a basketball player is not entitled to claim an annual income above $11 million. Restrictions are introduced so that salaries do not grow in leaps, but gradually, giving the club owner a chance to plan expenses in advance.

Soft salary cap in the NBA. For 10-year veterans, annual income is capped at $15.3 million. But if a veteran signs a new contract with his former club as a free agent, he has the right to demand an increase in the contract. The measure is aimed at the stability of the composition, because the public gets used to their favorite stars. Moving from team to team, the player automatically falls under the restrictions.

Salary cap, can be exceeded - and significantly. However, club owners have to pay a special tax (luxury tax) in the amount of 100% of the excess to the league budget for excess. This money is distributed among the rest of the teams, equalizing the financial possibilities of the clubs. The collective agreement between the NBA and its union contains the following clause: the contract may be terminated if the cost of wages is higher than 48.04% of club income (this includes income from the sale of rights to television broadcasts, tickets, souvenir sales), because otherwise, according to according to experts, the sports business will be unprofitable.

Official NBA Ball

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has introduced a new official game ball since the beginning of the 2006-2007 season. New from Spalding (Cross Traxxion) features a new design and a new coating that allows you to better feel and grip the ball during the game. This synthetic ball is more stable than its leather counterpart. It is noteworthy that the NBA decided to replace the game ball for the first time in the last 35 years, and the second time in the last 60 seasons. At 1970, the ball, consisting of four segments, was replaced by an eight-segment. However, on December 11, 2006, at the insistence of the majority of the players, association commissioner David Stern decided to return to the old leather ball model.
