The game of basketball was created in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith in the small town of Springfield, Massachusetts.

The format of win or go home ramps up the intensity in every team, and is reflected in their fans. Each year the event gets bigger and more extravagant, making it one of the crucial events in the ticketing industry.
