De National Basketball Association, koartwei de NBA, is de profesjonele basketbalkompetysje yn Noard-Amearika en bestiet út 30 teams (29 út de Feriene Steaten en 1 út Kanada). De NBA wurdt algemien beskôge as de wichtichste basketbalkompetysje fan de wrâld en is ien fan de fjouwer grutte sportkompetysjes yn Noard-Amearika, mei de NFL, de NHL en de MLB.
De liga waard yn 1946 oprjochte yn New York City ûnder de namme Basketball Association of America (BAA). Nei in fúzje mei de National Basketball League (NBL) yn 1949 gie de kompetysje fierder as NBA. Regearjend kampioen is Golden State Warriors. Dy ploech pakte yn 2018 harren sechsde titel. Boston Celtics is mei 17 titels rekôrkampioen.
Kompetysje-opset
Reguliere seizoen
De tritich teams binne ferdield oer twa konferinsjes: de Western en de Eastern Conference. Dy besteane dan wer út trije difyzjes: de Northwest, Pacific en Southwest Division yn it westen en de Atlantic, Central en Southeast Division yn it easten. Alle teams spylje yn de reguliere kompetysje, dy't yn de lêste wike fan oktober begjint, 82 wedstriden. Tsjin teams út deselde difyzje wurdt fjouwer kear spile en tsjin de oare teams út deselde konferinsje trije of fjouwer kear. Dêrneist spylje alle teams twa wedstriden tsjin de teams út de oare konferinsje (ien thús en ien út).
Play-offs
Nei de reguliere kompetysje geane de acht bêste teams fan eltse konferinsje troch nei de play-offs, wêryn't se stride om de titel. It team dat as earste pleatst is yn harren konferinsje (dy't dus de measte oerwinningen helle hat), spilet yn de earste omgong tsjin de achtst bêste ploech út de konferinsje. Fierder spilet de nûmer 2 tsjin de nûmer 7, 3 tsjin 6 en 4 tsjin 5.
De omgongen binne 'best-of-seven'-searjes. Dat betsjut datst fjouwer oerwinningen nedich hast om troch te gean nei de folgjende omgong. De searjes wurde spile neffens it 2-2-1-1-1-systeem. Mei oare wurden: it team dat as heechste pleatst is spilet earst twa kear thús, dêrnei spilet de tsjinstanner twa kear thús. As it nedich is (dus wannear't gjin fan beide teams dan 4-0 foarstiet), giet it dêrnei om en om: earst de heechst pleatste ploech thús.
De twa teams dy't nei trije omgongen oerbliuwe binne de 'conference champions', ien yn it westen en ien yn it easten. Dy twa spylje dan yn de NBA Finals tsjininoar, op 'e nij yn in 'best-of-seven'-searje en op 'e nij neffens it 2-2-1-1-1-systeem. De winnaar fan dy NBA Finals pakt de titel.
