On August 3, 1949, the BAA merged with the National Basketball League (NBL), eventually forming the NBA. It allowed to expand its staff with seventeen franchises. Through the years, the game of basketball continually interested a number of sports enthusiasts, increasing in popularity over the years. It is in the 1960s that the game was finally appreciated by the majority of Americans. It’s when the days of the Boston Celtics dynasty. It even boosted its popularity even more during the ’80s when the rivalry between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. The epic battle between two heroes, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, is magnificence in the making. In fact, the game has made its mark as one of the most popular games in the United States.

In fact, the NBA has become popular in the US, but in the world it is still not that popular. It is only in the 90s that the world realized the beauty of basketball. Thanks to Michael Jordan, the game has gained superstar status not only in the country but in the world.
