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 globally.

The league is divided into two conferences: the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, each further divided into three divisions.
The NBA season typically runs from October to April, followed by a playoff tournament culminating in the NBA Finals in June, where the two conference champions compete for the championship title. The league is known for its high level of competition and has produced many legendary players, including Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. The NBA also plays a significant role in popular culture and has a substantial global following, influencing the growth of basketball around the world.
