1st Major Essay Topic

The topic that I have chosen for my first major essay is the globalization of the National Basketball Association. The following statement will be my research question. What has been the major cause of the current globalization of the National Basketball Association and how will it affect its future expansion.

This is a very interesting topic for me because it incorporates my favorite sport. When the basketball season is on the television, I am always watching and keeping track of the teams as the season progresses. Many sports broadcasters talk about the topic of the globalization of the National Basketball Association; hearing their comments gave me ideas and made me interesting in doing this topic.

My original idea for this paper was to talk about the growth in the presence of international players in the National Basketball Association. This growth consequently caused more global demand for the National Basketball Association. A major example I could use is the immense popularity of Yao Ming. His presence in the National Basketball Association literally opens the doors to a market of over one billion people. A prediction for the future can be more and more international scouting for NBA. With more diversity in the NBA, the global demand should just keep increasing.
