NBA Original Branded Basketball

The NBA (National Basketball Association) is the premier professional basketball league in North America and is considered one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. While originally focused on basketball competition, the brand has expanded into a global licensing powerhouse, with its logo appearing on professional-grade sports equipment, apparel, and lifestyle merchandise produced by various licensed partners.

For decades, the official game balls were manufactured by Spalding; however, as of 2021, Wilson Sporting Goods Co. became the official game ball provider. These products are manufactured across a global supply chain, primarily in China, Thailand, and Vietnam. The league itself remains headquartered in New York City, maintaining control over the brand's identity and global operations through its extensive subsidiary network.
