The National Basketball Association (NBA) formed in 1946 is made up of 30 franchises who play across two conferences, the East and West. By clinching the 2020 NBA title, the Los Angeles Lakers have 17 championships to their name and are tied for the most all-time with the Boston Celtics.
An NBA can have 5 players on court, these include a shooting guard, point guard, centre, small forward and power forward, and the game is played over 4 x 12-minute periods.
Typically, NBA games are high scoring affairs; the highest ever score between Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons who shared 370 points! Detroit winning 186-184. There are three ways to score in the NBA; a 3 pointer from outside the 3 point line, 2 points from inside the 3 point line and 1 point for free throw received for a technical foul. The most dramatic way to score in the NBA is the Slam Dunk which originated in the 1960’s. A dunk is performed when a player jumps in the air, controls the ball above the rim and scores by slamming the ball through the basket.
