The Beginnings

Although there have been few attempts to establish basketball leagues, the American League (the predecessor to the National Basketball Association) was the first widely held tournament.
American Basketball Association
The American Basketball Association (ABA) was founded as a replacement for the NBA in 1967 at a time when the NBA was much more popular. The American Basketball Association offered an alternative spirit and a new style of game as well as some rule changes. Julius Irving was the league’s leading player, helping to launch a modern style of play centered on jumping and playing over the edge. The league emphasized excitement and vitality, whether it be in the color of the ball (red, white, and blue), the way of playing, and increasing points such as three plays. National recognition and profits were low, prompting the league to seek a way out of its problems. The merger with the most successful and consistent NBA was seen as the solution. The NBA was merged with the NBA in the summer of 1976.
Competition System
The NBA season usually begins in the first week of November and ends with the final round between the Eastern Division champion and the Western Division champion in June. Before the season kicks off, teams gather in October each year to set up preparation camps. The Regular Season starts in November and ends in April.
The playoff is held from late April until June, and the Eastern Division and Western Division champions will end up qualifying for the final to determine the competition’s champion, which is usually held in June. The summer break then starts from July until September.
The All-Star Game brings together Eastern and Western Division stars and takes place in February.
