NBA的英文介绍

The Basketball Association of America was founded in 1946 by the owners of the major sports arenas in the Northeast and Midwest, most notably Madison Square Garden in New York City. On November 1, 1946, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers which the NBA now regards as its first game to be played in the league's history.

Following the 1949 season, the BAA agreed to merge with the NBL, expanding the National Basketball Association to seventeen franchises located in a mix of large and small cities, as well as large arenas and smaller gymnasiums and armories. In 1950, the NBA consolidated to eleven franchises, a process that continued until 1954, when the league reached its smallest size of eight franchises, all of which are still in the league (the Knickerbockers, Celtics, Warriors, Lakers, Royals/Kings, Pistons, Hawks, and Nationals/76ers).

While contracting, the league also saw its smaller city franchises move to larger cities. The Hawks shifted from "Tri-Cities" (the area now known as the Quad Cities) to Milwaukee and then to St. Louis; the Royals from Rochester to Cincinnati, the Pistons from Fort Wayne to Detroit.

Today, the NBA is made up of players of many different races, with diverse backgrounds and cultures. The majority (80%) of NBA players today are African American.

全美篮球协会(BAA)是在1946年由美国东北及中西部地区的主要体育馆老板们成立的，其中最主要的运动场是纽约的麦迪逊广场花园。1946年11月1日，多伦多哈士奇主办了纽约尼克斯队比赛，现在的NBA将其视为联盟历史上的第一场比赛。

1949年赛季之后，BAA同意与NBL合并，将NBA扩展到17支球队，位于大小型混合城市，以及大型体育馆和较小的健身房与兵工厂。1950年，NBA被合并为11只球队，直至1954年，该联盟达到其最小规模8支球队，如今它们仍保留着(灯笼裤队、凯尔特人队、武士队、湖人队、皇家队/国王队、活塞队、老鹰队和民族队/76人队)。

随着缩减，联盟发现较小城市的球队移向了较大的城市。老鹰队从“Tri-Cities”(现在称为阔德城)移至密尔沃基，后又搬到圣路易斯;皇家队从罗切斯特移到辛辛那提;活塞队从韦恩堡移到了底特律。

今天，NBA由许多不同种族、不同背景和文化的球员组成。百分之八十的NBA球员是非裔美国人。
