In the 1979-1980 season, the league added the ABA's innovative three-point line. In 1984, Michael Jordan began playing in the NBA, leading to an increased interest in the league. In 1989, the number of teams rose to 27, following the expansion process.

Now, a growing number of players reach the NBA directly from Europe or anywhere else in the world, cases like Yao Ming (No. 1 draft pick in 2002) of China, Tony Parker (France) and Pau Gasol (Rookie of the Year 2002) of Spain.

Today, young English-speaking players tend to enroll in U.S. colleges before playing in the NBA.

salary cap

The salary cap is the limit that teams can spend on player contracts and there to match the level of NBA teams. Without that limit the teams could offer big money free agents.This limit is established for each future year and is subject to some adjustments. is calculated by multiplying the BRI (Basketbal lRelated Income, a term defined as those revenues received by the teams as a result of the different operations carried out) by48.04%; subtracting the salaries of players and dividing the result by 29.This enhances the value of players as members of a team with a project economically viable and in sports. Prevents a more affluentteam can get players "to hit book," or that a team has to borrow to meet the competition with guarantees (and fall into financial ruin if the project does not fruit).This feature, together with the draft, each franchise is necessary to carefully study what market players may be interested for your project (depending on the profile of the team). So also ensures that each franchise can only "shield" economically one or two players(often called "franchise players")The minimum wage of a team is calculated by multiplying the salary cap by 75%.

Draft The Draft is a system for controlling the access of new players into the league competition will

benefit. Basically allows weaker teams a year to select players who wish for the next campaign, leveling the competition in the short / medium term.All players who want to join the NBA register to participate in the election of the Draft that takes place in early summer. Here each of the teams in the league has the right to choose a player to start. At first the team with the worst rate in the regular season victories earlier chose the player he wanted, then did the next team with fewer wins, and so on.However, it was noted that some teams had no chance of qualifying for the playoffs were left lost in recent games. Thus the first 14 elections are decided by lot.Currently entering the sweepstakes only teams who have not played the playoffs. Of these the most wins in the regular season harvested above is the least likely and the process. The rest is done in reverse order to that used in the classification last season.the fact of selecting a high place does not ensure that the selected player is the best. The history of the NBA is full of errors 1984, in which Houston Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon as No. 1 and Portland Trail Blazers inexplicably selected Sam Bowie with the No. 2 leaving Chicago Bulls choose with the No. 3 Michael Jordan.Another key aspect is that due to the low age with embodying the future players to Draft (without finishing his university studies) makes it really hard to gauge what teams player offer better performance over the medium term.

On 30 June 2011 the NBA lockout officially announced due to the dissatisfaction of the players and owners respectively. This is the second time in the NBA called for a strike. The first occurred in the 1998-99 season.
