Mission Statement:

For my website, I will be focusing on the evolution of NBA basketball, all the significant changes that have occurred over the years. The purpose my website will be to inform people on the creation and the development of the NBA. My audience will most likely be those who love basketball or those who are interested in learning about it.

Info:

The NBA was established in June 6 , 1946, that means it has been going on for seventy-three years, and it is still going today. I hope it keeps going for more years to come. Throughout the seventy-three years of the NBA, changes were made to enhance player performances, keep players from getting hurt, and have the sport become more friendly. Not only the players, but the changes have also been put in place for the fans to enjoy watching basketball.

Throughout the years, some players were able to adapt to the changes and enhanced their game and become better players, but there were players who were not able to accept changes and could not change their game to suit the new NBA style and were forced to retire. For example, between the years 2000-2009, most players scored in the mid-range area and the paint because that is what they were used to. Now in this decade, from 2010-2019, a lot of players are forced to step out beyond to shoot 3-pointers to keep up with younger players and teams. The players who were not able to develope a 3-point shot were soon dropped from teams or not used as much as players who have excelled in making 3-pointers. There have been some exceptions, some players who are just super atheletic who jump high and are great at setting up teammates to score.
