NBA Clothing, Accessories & Figures

The NBA (National Basketball Association) is the premier professional basketball league in North America and is widely considered the best basketball league in the world. It was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA) and was renamed the NBA in 1949 after merging with the National Basketball League (NBL). The NBA consists of 30 teams (29 from the United States and one from Canada) that compete for the championship title each year. Its reputation as the top league is due to many factors: it hosts the most talented and athletic players from around the globe, offering high-level spectacle with a blistering pace and astonishing individual performances. The NBA's global appeal, its strong commercial power, its advanced television production, and its continuous innovation in rules and marketing, make it a global cultural phenomenon that transcends the boundaries of sports, inspiring billions of fans and athletes.

The NBA season is divided into three main parts: the Regular Season, the Playoffs, and the Finals.

• Regular Season: Typically begins in October and runs through April. Each team plays 82 games, both home and away against teams from both the Eastern and Western Conferences. At the end of the regular season, the top six teams from each conference secure direct qualification to the playoffs, while teams finishing in positions 7-10 participate in a play-in tournament for the final two playoff spots in each conference.
• Playoffs: Begin immediately after the regular season and are a knockout tournament involving the top eight teams from each conference. Matchups are in best-of-seven series, meaning the first team to win four games advances to the next round. The rounds include the First Round, Conference Semifinals, and Conference Finals.
• NBA Finals: The two teams that win their respective Eastern and Western Conference Finals meet in the NBA Finals. This series, also best-of-seven, determines the NBA Champion. The team that wins four games is crowned champion and is awarded the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

This structure ensures a long and exciting season, culminating in a dramatic finale that determines the top team.
