Sports are no longer just a pastime, as people from all over the globe have come to truly love and adore sports. The idea of playing sports and being able to witness the best players in the world play the game you love is amazing. Only popular in their countries of origin, sports are now popular enough to be televised in other continents such as Asia and Europe. Take a look at basketball. Because of skilled marketing and promoting, the sport now draws the adoration of people from all over the world. These smart decisions have made basketball one of the premier sports in the world, which is astounding. No longer is it a surprise to see basketball jerseys being worn in countries like the Philippines, or witnessing people playing the sport on the streets.

So, you might be wondering: how did basketball become this big? As stated earlier, the success of basketball can be attributed to it being a fun and enjoyable game to play, and a series of great decisions made by executives of the sport. Right now, we will look at some of those decisions to get a better understanding of what made the sport great.

First of all, basketball became this big because the players are really talented. It's no fun watching a game where the players aren't skilled or good enough. It would become very boring quickly, and would utterly fail to gather the interest of other people. Fortunately for basketball, several players have made it through that exhibited real skill and desire. The most popular example would have to be Michael Jordan, widely regarded as the best basketball player to ever play. In Jordan, people saw a man who wanted to win so badly and did it with such grace and skill. People were able to relate to Jordan, since he played every game like it was his last.

Second of all, the sport became popular because management really took control of minimizing bad and undesirable behavior from its players. One such rule they enforced was random drug testing for all the players. Drug tests were made to ensure that no player was doing something illegal, which then showed the people that the players could really be trusted and looked up to. It may have been part of something bigger, but the drug test was a fantastic way of making sure the players never cheated the game and the audience.

These are the reasons why basketball is this popular today.
