Competitions in the United States and Brazil are not as similar as we think
In the United States, the person responsible for this sport is the National Basketball Association (NBA), the main professional basketball league in North America, which has fans around the world. Here in Brazil we have the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB), a men’s competition organized by the National Basketball League.
Even though the two have the same purpose, playing basketball, they have big differences. THE MALÙ will explain everything about them!

Duration
An NBA game consists of four halves of 12 minutes each, with a 15-minute break between the second and third halves. In NBB, the format is the same, but each half lasts 10 minutes.
Ball possession
In the NBA, each team can have a maximum of 24 seconds in possession of the ball before throwing it to the basket. In NBB the time is the same, but if the offense gets the rebound, that 24 seconds drops to 14.

Timeouts and absences

Number of games
