Geography of Basketball

The NBA is the worlds biggest Basketball league and today attracts hundreds of thousands and all started in 1946 when it was founded and the First game took place in Toronto at the Maple leaf Gardens when the Toronto Huskies took on the New York Knickerbockers and anyone of 6 foot 8 got in free. This first game attracted over 7000 people and the games did not disappoint as New York won 68-66. 

Now you cant have a Basketball game without a Stadium and a court and over the year as basketball as grown ever so popular the stadiums they have played in have become bigger and better. The stadium where the first game was played has a capacity of 15 thousand and now the average stadium holds about 18 thousand. But what I find cool is that the biggest stadium in the world hold 55 thousand and although most basketball stadiums are in America this one is in the Philippines and they have the third biggest with the Araneta coliseum and with a Stadium come a court and there are three different types of court there is the NBA court, a College court and a School court. the difference between the courts are how far the three point line is away from the net.
