Welcome toWikiProject Basketball. This project exists to improve and connect current and historical coverage of the sport of basketball in its many forms around the world. Though invented in the United States by Canadian educatorJames Naismith, today basketball is truly a world game with thriving professional leagues on every continent.
This project serves as a bridge between several WikiProjects that touch the sport.WikiProject National Basketball Association is a project that focuses on coverage of the NBA, generally considered the world's top league.WikiProject College Basketball has a deep focus on the collegiate game (primarily but not exclusively in the United States). There is also a task force onWomen's basketball that seeks to improve coverage of the women's game. Please feel free to join the efforts of these projects as well. There are also many projects that touch basketball, such as country-specific sports projects,WikiProject Olympics, college sports specific projects, etc.

Some examples of what the project covers are:
