Basketball FAQ

Who is the greatest basketball player of all time?
Michael Jordan and LeBron James dominate the GOAT conversation, with fans split largely along generational lines. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell and Magic Johnson feature in most serious all-time lists too.
How much do NBA players earn?
NBA players are among the best paid team-sport athletes in the world, with top stars on maximum contracts worth enormous sums per season. Endorsement deals, especially signature shoe lines, can add even more than the salary itself.
What is a triple-double?
A triple-double means reaching double figures in three statistical categories in one game, most commonly points, rebounds and assists. It is shorthand for an all-round dominant performance.
How does the NBA draft work?
The draft lets teams select incoming players, with the worst teams given the best odds at top picks via a lottery. It is designed to spread young talent across the league and give struggling franchises a route back to contention.

Know the Language

Triple-doubleDouble figures in three statistical categories in a single game, usually points, rebounds and assists.
MVPMost Valuable Player, the award given to the league's standout performer over a season.
Sixth manA team's best player off the bench, often a scorer who changes games without starting them.
Salary capThe league-imposed limit on how much a team can spend on player wages, shaping every roster decision.
Free agencyThe period when out-of-contract players can sign with any team, often reshaping the league overnight.
