Professional Leagues

The National Basketball Association, known as the NBA, is a professional basketball league in North America made up of 30 teams, 29 in the United States and one in Canada. It is considered the premier professional basketball league in the world and is headquartered in New York City and Secaucus, New Jersey. The league was created in 1949 by the merger of the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League, and it treats the BAA's founding on 6 June 1946 as its own. Its regular season runs from October to April, with each team playing 82 games, and the playoffs end in June with the NBA Finals.
