There are 14 basketball teams on this list, ranging from “Houston Rockets” to “Hume City Basketball.” They come from countries all over the world, including the United States, Israel, Germany, France, Mexico, Canada, and Australia. Some play in massive professional leagues like the NBA, while others compete in regional or semi-professional circuits closer to home. Together they show just how far the sport reaches, from packed NBA arenas to small-town gyms.

Basketball teams are organized groups of players who compete together under a shared name, city, or league identity. Many carry decades of history, like the Houston Rockets, whose championship runs in the 1990s were led by Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon. Others, like the Harlem Globetrotters, blend sport with entertainment, touring the world to put on show-style exhibitions rather than compete in a traditional league.
