The difference between the NBA and the CBA. The NBA is the highest level basketball league in the world. Its players and level of competition are so high that no one in the world can match it. Become a model of the world basketball league and synonymous with high-level basketball.
In order to improve its domestic basketball league, China also imitated the NBA and launched its own basketball league CBA.
Looking at the NBA and CBA, I think the difference between the NBA and CBA is the difference in operating mechanisms. The system has become the biggest difference between the NBA and the CBA, and it is also the source of many differences between the two events.
NBA is the abbreviation of the National Basketball League. The National Basketball League is the largest basketball league in the United States, but it is not the only basketball league. The NBA is a non-governmental organization, not a government organization. Therefore, the NBA does not receive government funding and subsidies. To get the massive league up and running. The purpose of the NBA is very clear, which is to make money. The clubs affiliated with the NBA are also privately owned. Therefore making money has become the club's primary goal. From this, it is not difficult to see the commercial nature of the NBA.
Because of this, the essence of the NBA is no different from General Motors, Boeing, or even McDonald's fast food company. It is not so much a sports league as it is a multinational sports management company.
If the NBA is a company, then it must have its products and services for sale in the market. As a company operating in the market, as a manager of the alliance - a profit-seeking businessman. Then, the NBA must operate according to the laws of the market.
So, NBA games are his product. "NBA" is the trademark of this product. In this regard, it is not difficult for us to understand everything the NBA has done in the way the NBA operates. "All-Star Weekend" is nothing more than a promotional and publicity event done by the NBA. Drafts from the NCAA and around the world are nothing more than absorbing fresh blood, keeping the NBA watchable and attracting young audiences. Absorbing overseas teams, players and competing overseas is just one strategy to win over overseas markets. The United States is a land of dreams. What the United States is best at is creating stars and dreams. It is not difficult to explain why the NBA has created idols like Jordan, Hill, and Carter and heroes like Barkley. It is not difficult to explain what kind of dreams the NBA has created for young people about money, fame, beauties, and heroes.
Through the commercial nature of the NBA, we have to acknowledge the contribution the NBA has made to human basketball. But the NBA also received huge television broadcast fees; the clubs also received ticket revenue and the sale of various forms of souvenirs; and the players also received millions of dollars in annual income. David Stern made the NBA worth nearly $3 billion.
The NBA gained both fame and fortune, and also contributed to basketball. Make the owners, players, fans and spectators happy. It all depends on the NBA's successful business operations in accordance with market rules. What about CBA?
I wonder if the term "basketball center" exists in the American dictionary. I wonder if Jordan would have bought the Washington Wizards if he knew every club was losing money. I wonder if the gentlemen at the Basketball Management Center know what the word "market" means. Did the men at the Basketball Management Center think that Wanda, the basketball player, would appear in the CBA?
On the surface, the CBA looks very similar to the NBA in terms of form. But the NBA is a commercial act, while the CBA is a government act. The NBA is managed by businessmen who understand basketball, but the CBA is managed by an old man who only understands basketball and does not understand the market. The NBA operates like a business, while the CBA operates more like a government agency with rife bureaucracy. NBA businessmen invest the money they earn from the NBA into other industries to make more money, while the CBA bosses throw the country's and club's money away in the CBA. This is the difference between NBA and CBA. If the CBA cannot learn from the NBA thoroughly and cannot give up the ridiculous idea of ??"Chinese for the body and foreign for the application", then the differences between the CBA and the NBA will become more and more different, and the results will be very different.
