In June of 1946, in New York, the BAA, namely the Basketball Association of America, came to light. This was the beginning of the immense phenomenon that we all know now as the NBA.
Even if league participants are mainly from the United States and Canada, the fanbase and passion are international, stretching from the US coasts to Europe and Asia. Underdog versus top tier team games round-up over 30 million views on cable TV, even if they are broadcast on Christmas Days. So, the news surrounding it is of interest to many!
Summer of 2020 made us witness the NBA comeback of the 2019-2020 season that defied all odds. Players now play in even stricter and safer conditions, avid as ever to score and make their team and their supporters proud as this year’s NBA playoff bracket is just getting started.
We are sure that the players are missing the roaring crowds and their unparalleled enthusiasm, but fans can still show their faith by making bets. Make sure you know your vocabulary and take other Internet tips into account before placing a bet on real or fantasy events.
Besides knowing what the general game and bet terms mean, other factors need to be considered as well. As always, with any event, one needs to factor temporal and spatial details. What team is playing on home ground, what stage of the championship are we talking about, and second-half predictions, are all important details that should be pondered before choosing an outcome.
DraftKings and NBA relationship
At the end of 2019, another major change appeared in the world of North American basketball. The Boston Massachusetts based website and mobile phone app DraftKings became a partner of the NBA. In November, they became an official bet operator, adding to the list of places that players can access.
They deal in real sports competitions, fantasy sports showdowns, and even in an online casino venture. Thus, they have successfully completed all the prime needs for passionate bettors. It does not matter if the wager one desires to make is done on a sport-related event or a table game, or even in front of a slot machine. Keeping up with the times, they own different social media accounts to keep customers updated, so do
not shy away and give them a follow.
Their even more recent accomplishment relates to buying and selling their stock. As of late, investors can trade shares on Nasdaq, an index of stock exchange of the same importance as the ultra-known Dow Jones. This is a mark of great growth on the part of the enterprise and a change for stock amateurs and fanatics to make use of the increasing betting market. Their ideology of expansion does not limit itself to these features. It aims at integrating and making exclusive deals with professional leagues of various other sports, as well as opening and investing in online and offline casino play. If social media is not your cup of tea, but you are interested in the latest DraftKings news, keep an eye on their site’s news page.
The future seems bright if we make assumptions based on current facts. This platform is friendly with mobile users, as much as it is with all the others. Their well-calculated moves seem to have created a positive impact in terms of traffic and engagement. Currently, their general US rank goes lower than the 1300th place. Still, on their niche, they own the Bronze medal, sitting comfortably on the third position. Unsurprisingly, these visits are made in a huge proportion by US users, and Canadians on the second option. These visits have more than the courtesy aspect to it, as most people leave the site and jump right on PayPal.
Basketball has come a long way. From the fruit baskets that were used as hoops (hence the name!) to the billion dollars wonder that it is today, its evolution is impressive. It has empowered millions across the world to pursue their dream and all-around live for the better, as it lets icons like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan shine and become real-life legends. Whatever pushes people to overcome hardship, we are all in for!
Life is unpredictable. We never truly know what the outcome of a small life decision will be, neither if we were right on the slip, or what the next day brings. That is why we refrain from making any wild prediction on how basketball will evolve, how the NBA matches will look in the upcoming years, or what will appear for NBA fans and bookies. We just know that this is an ever-expanding domain and that surprises may arise at any time. We hope that the unmatched passion and inspiration that it transmits will always stay the same!
