NBL Australia

The National Basketball League (NBL) is the premier men’s basketball league in Oceania. The league is made up of 10 teams, nine in Australia and one in New Zealand. These teams compete in a variety of competitions including regular season, playoffs, and post-seasons. For more information about the league, visit the NBL website. This article discusses the most popular teams in the NBL, as well as where to find the most recent scores.

The NBL began as a fledgling competition in 1971. The league has since expanded to eight teams across Australia and one team in New Zealand. It has featured legends like Mick Jagger and Lamelo Ball, as well as future NBA talents such as Kevin Durant and Jeremy Lin. It is also one of the most popular sports in Australia, with participation rates of around 75%. It also has the biggest television audience, with some games attracting as much as 750,000 spectators.

The NBL was first played in 1979, when the league consisted of nine teams. Today, there are ten teams, nine in Australia and one in New Zealand. The Illawarra Hawks are the oldest club in the NBL and have been a part of every season since its inception. The salary cap for each team is $AU1.1 million, though marquee players earn more than that. However, the salary cap is based on a player’s position and their value to the team.
