Frequently Asked Questions
Which NBA star is currently the most dominant scorer?
The answer is subjective as each player has a different style of play which makes them unique and successful. However, some popular choices for the most dominant scorer in the NBA include Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and James Harden.
Kevin Durant has more to offer than just being a shooting superstar. This player is a serious player with two NBA Championships, 2 Finals MVPs, and a regular season MVP title.
Who holds the record in terms of career playoff wins for the NBA?
LeBron has led the charge with an impressive 174 wins over NBA Playoffs history. He also played in 266 games. It's easy to see why he is one the most sought-after players in basketball today.
What is the biggest rivalry in the NBA?
The NBA's biggest rivalry is held by the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have met the most out of any teams in the NBA Finals, with 12 times. The Celtics won nine of those meetings. Their first meeting was in 1959, but they both continued to excel in the following years, especially during the 1960s and 1980s, when they would face each other six times and three, respectively. Although 2000 marked a new millennium, these two teams still met twice more within that same year range.
What does NBA refer to as "waived"?
"Waived" in the NBA is an official release of a player from their team's roster. This can happen for any number of reasons, including salary cap concerns or disciplinary action. After a player has been waived, they are an unrestricted-free agent who can sign with any league team. A player who was waived within the last three months of the previous season is not eligible to play for the playoffs.
Who made the NBA's first basket?
Ossie Schectman, an American professional basketball player, scored the first basket in the Basketball Association of America. This was later to become the National Basketball Association. The basket was scored on November 1, 1946, in a game between the Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers. Schectman's historic inaugural basket opened up the BAA’s inaugural season.
What is the difference between a technical foul and a flagrant foul?
A technical foul in the NBA is a penalty for unsportsmanlike behaviour, such as arguing with officials or excessive celebration. A technical foul gives you one free throw and the opposing team takes possession of the ball.
Flagrant fouls are when a player makes violent or aggressive contact with another player. It will result in the opposition team being given two free throws and taking possession of your ball. There are two levels of flagrant fouls--Flagrant one and Flagrant two. Flagrant one is a lesser offense than Flagrant 2 and doesn't result in an ejection.
A personal foul is an illegal contact between players on the court. This is typically a result of illegal hand-checking and holding, pushing, pushing or tripping an opponent. Personal fouls may also lead to free throw attempts or possession of the ball by the opposing team. Personal fouls, though, do not necessarily signify unsportsmanlike conduct, as opposed to flagrant fouls and technical fouls.
In the NBA, all fouls can result in free throw attempts or possession of the ball for the opposing team. The intent behind the foul and the severity and nature of the contact are what distinguish between technical fouls from flagrant and personal fouls.

How To
How do you buy a NBA Jersey?
It is easy to buy an NBA jersey online. There are numerous online retailers that offer official team merchandise. Before making a purchase, you should research the jersey size and quality to ensure you get precisely what you want.
When shopping online for your NBA jersey, remember a few things. The first is to select the correct size. Refer to the size chart for your team, and make sure the jersey is in inches. The best size will fit you. Make sure to allow for some extra room around the chest.
It is also important to know what jersey fabric was used. Although most NBA jerseys contain 100% polyester, some may incorporate a mix of different materials in order to create the desired look. It's also important to check if the product is an authentic team replica or just a generic knockoff.
Finally, read up on customer reviews before making your purchase. This will let you know how the retailer treats customers. When you find an online store that has a good reputation don't forget about comparing prices between different stores before you check out.
