NBA• Most of the US players play in the NBA, because it is where the major

players come from. The NBA( National Basketball Association) is where all basketball players aim to get to, get drafted and win an NBA championship, not only because it’s the highest level of basketball in the world( other than international) but because that is where they will get noticed and hopefully get picked to play for there country at things like the Olympic and Commonwealth games, world championships and world cups. Most

of these players made it into the playoffs, which is the tournament which decides who is the Western conference champion and the Eastern conference champion. Both champions play each other in the NBA Championship Final.
