Read Time:5 Minute, 39 Second

If you’re a basketball fan, chances are that you’ve heard of the NBA. But if you want to know more about basketball beyond the big leagues, there are plenty of places to go. Here are seven leagues around the world that are worth exploring:

The Euroleague

The EuroLeague is a European professional basketball league, founded in 1955. It’s the highest level of competition for European professional basketball clubs and is second only to the NBA in popularity among international leagues.

The Euroleague consists of 24 teams: 16 from Spain and 8 from Italy, France and Germany. There are also two teams from Ukraine (Crimea) and one each from Belarus, Moldova, Romania (all Group B), Switzerland (Group A) and Turkey (Group C).

The NBA G League

The NBA G League is a minor Basketball League organization that was founded in 2001. It’s the official minor Basketball League organization of the NBA and consists of 27 teams spread across the country.

The G League works with many professional players who have already left their NBA teams or are on their way out, but they also allow young basketball players to learn how to play at an early age while continuing their education through college or university.

The BLOBLR

The BLOBLR is a professional basketball league in Europe. It’s an acronym for Basketball League of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Macedonia, and it’s one of the biggest regional competitions in that part of the world. The BLOBLR started out as an annual event back in 2016 when several teams from both countries gathered to compete against one another. In 2017, they announced that they would be hosting their first season as a permanent competition with eight teams competing over three rounds (each round being played over two weekends).

The top two finishers after each round will advance directly onto their respective divisional finals which will take place later this year at some point between November 2nd – 5th 2018 here at home base in Sarajevo/Sarajevo Olympic Hall where you can find us if you want more information about tickets or other related activities such as tours around town!

The FIBA Europe Cup

The FIBA Europe Cup is an annual men’s professional basketball club competition run by FIBA Europe. It is the third-tier level transnational professional club Basketball League competition in Europe, behind only the EuroLeague and LNB Pro A. The competition was created in 1996 as a precursor to become its own primary European league, but it did not do so until 2009.

The tournament operates on a round robin format with each team playing every other team once across four groups with home and away games in succession. Each team plays two games at home with one game against each opponent per group (two games total). They also play one game away from home which accounts for six matches played over five days (18 games).

The Basketball Champions League (BCL)

The Basketball Champions League (BCL) is an international professional Basketball League competition that is organized by FIBA Europe. It’s a European-wide league, with teams from countries all over Europe. The BCL was founded in 2009 and replaced the EuroChallenge as its second tier competition for European clubs after EuroLeague.

The BCL consists of 12 teams: 6 from countries within Eastern Europe, 3 from Central Europe and 1 from Western Europe. As there are no restrictions on which country can compete in this league due to nationality or home country of players on their respective rosters; anyone who wants to play professionally can join if they meet certain requirements (such as having citizenship).

Liga Sudamericana de Basket (LUB)

The Liga Sudamericana de Basket (LUB), which began in 2012, is a professional basketball league in South America. It competes with the FIBA Americas League and the FIBA South American League.

The LUB has eight franchises: four from Argentina, one each from Brazil and Chile, and one each from Colombia and Peru. The top four teams will move on to compete at the FIBA Americas League Final Four in November 2019.

PBA Basketball Team Ownership and Management Conference (PTOMC)

The PBA Basketball Team Ownership and Management Conference is an annual event held in Manila, Philippines. The conference aims to provide an opportunity for basketball fans from all over the world to gather and learn about the inner workings of professional basketball teams around the world.

The conference features presentations from some of today’s most prominent names in international basketball, including NBA Hall-of-Famer David Robinson (former NBA player) and PBA Hall-of-Famer Alvin Aranas Jr., along with other luminaries like former WNBA star Lauren Jackson (who played 14 seasons in Australia) and current NBA referee Violet Palmer.

The topics covered at PTOMC range from player contracts and negotiations to team management issues such as scouting potential draft picks before they get drafted into college or pro leagues like the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), Major League Soccer (MLS), etcetera…

Takeaway:

In this article, we’ll take a look at the top 7 basketball leagues outside of the NBA. We’ll go through each one in detail and discuss what it has to offer.

But first, let’s take a look at those 7 other leagues:

Euroleague – The Euroleague is one of the most popular basketball leagues in all of Europe. It was founded in 1958 by FIBA (the international governing body for basketball), and it plays out annually between June and September. The competition consists of 16 teams from different countries across Europe that compete for their national championship title as well as an opportunity to qualify for next year’s European Championships held in 2020/2021 at least once every four years per country over two years; however only three squads per federation may participate (two if they’ve already qualified).
In addition there are also three additional entries from Asia which include Australia or New Zealand who join forces with either South Korea or Japan respectively depending on how far ahead each team has gotten compared with others within their group; meanwhile Canada completes its share so naturally no North America will ever mount much resistance against these three nations unless something drastic happens (such as injuries) which would mean they’d have less than ideal circumstances going forward during regular season play.
