NBA

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is perhaps the most popular basketball league in the world. Its season runs from October through April and the popular playoffs run through June.

With stars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Yao Ming in the league, there's no shortage of words and pages out there about them, especially if more than one superstar appear in a commercial.

There were conspiracy theories about the NBA dating back to the "Patrick Ewing draft" in the 80s. Since the Internet has a reputation for spreading rumors and unfounded theories, it's no surprise that bloggers enjoy discussing how some finals matchups may be fixed, even if they're just joking about it.

For those not interested in hoops discussion, there are tons and tons of slam dunks to be witnessed in videos. You don't have to be a basketball fan to marvel at tall men doing unspeakable acts to a 10-foot rim.
