NBA联赛简介NBA联赛是由美国“全国篮球协会（简称NBA）”创办的比赛，其比赛的激烈程度和水平之高被世人公认为世界之最。

1896年，美国第一个篮球组织“全国篮球联盟（简称NBL）”成立，但当时篮球规则还不完善，组织机构也不健全，常常一名队员在一个赛季中可以代表几个队参赛，经过几个赛季后，该组织就名存实亡了。

1946年4月6日，由美国波士顿花园老板沃尔特•阿•布朗发起成立了“美国篮球协会（简称BAA）”，布朗首次提出了后来成为现代职业篮球两大基石的高薪制和合同制，高薪制是指职业篮球必须有雄厚的财政支援，这样才能使比赛保持在高水平上，吸引观众，求得生存。

合同制是指一名选手只能与一家俱乐部签订合同，并设立选手储备制，以防球员突然离队时受到损失。

1949年，在布朗的努力下，美国两大篮球组织BAA和NBL合并为“全国篮球协会（简称NBA）”。

布朗也成为后来著名的波士顿凯尔特人队的创始人。

NBA 成立时拥有17支球队，分成三个赛区比赛，来自NBL的明尼阿波利斯湖人队依靠身高2.09米的美国第一中锋乔治•迈肯的帮助获得NBA第一个赛季的冠军。

从1954－55赛季起，NBA经自然淘汰只剩下东部联盟和西部联盟两大赛区。

其中，东部联盟又分大西洋区、中区；西部联盟又分中西区、太平洋区。

1952年，NBA为了限制第一中锋迈肯的得分能力，将篮下3秒禁区宽度由原来的6英尺扩大到12英尺。

到了60年代，由于另一位超级中锋张伯伦的出现，NBA又将禁区宽度扩大到16英尺。

由于NBA的球队在比分领先时常采用拖延战术，使比赛不能吸引观众，从1954－1955赛季起，NBA开始实行24秒制，即每队每次进攻不得超过24秒。

1973年，美国哥伦比亚广播公司以2700万美元买下NBA比赛3年播映权，从而使NBA比赛首次走上电视，但由于当时还不具备实况转播的条件，所以只能播放录像。

1967年，一个新的篮球组织ABA（美国篮球协会）宣告成立，乔治•迈肯任第一位主席。

Module 1 Basketball-Section 1 Background readings 素材Part Two Teaching ResourcesSection 1 Background readings for Module 1 Basketball1. The NBA has proudly showcased many of the greatest athletes in sports history. From George Mikan to Magic Johnson, these are the players who have left a lasting impact on the game of basketball. We’ve gone back through the NBA annals and profiled some of the best to ever play the game.1) Michael JordanBy acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time -- although a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do justice to the man. A phenomenal athlete with a unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar. Jeffrey2/17/63 in Brooklyn, NY1984Retired,fromHeight:Honors:(1991-93, 1996-98); NBA MVP (1988, '91, All-NBA 1996-98); 2) Earvin “Magic” JohnsonFew athletes are truly unique, changing the way their sportis played with their singular skills. Earvin “Magic”Johnson was one of them. Just how great a basketball playerwas Johnson? So great, perhaps, that future generations ofhoop (篮) fans may wish they had entered the world yearsearlier-just so they could have seen Magic play in personinstead of watching him only on highlight reels. He was what Bob Cousy was to the 1950s, what Oscar Robertson was to the 1960s, what Julius Erving was to the 1970s. Still, Earvin Johnson was even more than a revolutionary player who, at 6-9, was the tallest point guard in league history.Full Name: Earvin Johnson Jr.Born: 8/14/59 in Lansing, Mich.

Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award (1992); Olympic goldmedalist (1992); One of 50 Greatest Players in NBA History (1996).3) George MikanIt’s hard to believe today, but until the 1940s basketball was considered a sport better suited to shorter men than to taller, less nimble (敏捷的) players. George Mikan, a 6-10 giant of a man who possessed superior coordination and a fierce competitive spirit, was one of the prototypes (原型)for the dominating tall players of later decades. Towering over most of his competitors, he was one of the most effective scorers of his day, averaging 22.6 points over a professional career that lasted nine years -- one with the Chicago American Gears and eight with the Minneapolis Lakers.Full Name: George Lawrence Mikan Jr. Born: 6/18/24 in Joliet, Ill.

By the time he retired, Worthy owned a Most Outstanding Player Award from the 1982 NCAA Final Four and an MVP Award from the 1988 NBA Finals, he was a member of three NBA championship teams with the Los Angeles Lakers (in 1985, 1987, and 1988), and his career postseason averages of 21.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game were higher than his regular-season averages of 17.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per contest.Full Name: James Ager Worthy Born: 2/27/61 in Gastonia, N.C.
