Basketball
When Dr. James Naismith invented the sport of basketball, surely even he could not have predicted how popular the game would become around the globe. What started as mainly a sport in the United States is now played around the world, thanks in part to the ambitions of the NBA and their efforts to expand the game. TV ratings and ticket sales are sky high in the U.S., and the popularity of basketball continues to grow in Asia, Europe and South America. Take advantage of that by booking a basketball player or coach as a speaker or for an endorsement or personal appearance.
