This list covers 20 basketball teams, running alphabetically from “Knicks” to “Kaposvar.” You’ll find storied NBA and NCAA programs alongside professional clubs from Russia, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Finland, and beyond. These teams range from decades-old franchises with multiple championships to smaller regional clubs that anchor their local communities, and they’re all built around the same goal: competing at the highest level their league allows.

Basketball teams are organized groups of players who compete together under a shared name, city, or institution, following the rules of a specific league or association. Some, like the New York Knicks, have played in the same arena for generations and helped shape the sport’s popular image. Others, such as Kutaisi 2010 or Krka, represent smaller cities but carry deep local pride and long competitive histories.
