In a basketball scoreboards feature, we will look at the Celtics and Lakers, and discover just who is the best team ever to have played in the NBA. Just 10 years ago the Celtics were quite simply way better than any other team.

The history of basketball in the US.

The History Of Basketball In The Us.
In a basketball scoreboards feature, we will look at the history of basketball in the US. Basketball was invented in the late 1800s by the Canadian born James Naismith. He did this in response to the YMCA, who wanted an interesting form of indoor entertainment that could be played all year round. Initially, the game was played with 9 players per team, there was a peach basket instead of hoops, and the ball was smaller and similar to a soccer ball.

The all-dominant NBA was not formed until 1946, and it took it a while to become successful. There were a few early stars and competitive games were held, but the sport did not get much exposure. It took more than 15 years for the popularity of the game to explode and for the league to expand. The basketball scoreboards showed that Bill Russel was the first great star, and he lead his team the Boston Celtics to no less than eight consecutive championships.

The worst NBA team of the last decade by region.

The Worst Nba Team Of The Last Decade By Region.
Basketball scoreboards east coast bad team of the decade: The New York Knicks in the 2007-08 season. A pitiful performance from a team which had a massive payroll. The average margin of loss was only 6.6 points per game, and they did win 23 games, which is not TOO bad a record. With the finances the team had, however, and the general ridiculousness surrounding the behavior of the coach and team as a whole, the Knicks are definitely the worst NBA team the east coast saw in the last decade.

The 5 best 7 gamers ever in the NBA

The 5 Best 7 Gamers Ever In The Nba
The best games in NBA history combine drama (no one sided games), with the result being not clear until right to the very end. Many of them had great individual performances as well. Here are the games that I consider to be the 5 best 7 gamers ever.
