U S Centric Naturally this article will have a great deal to do with the U S as the birthplace and continuing professional heartland of basketball However the entire article is written from a perspective dealing almost wholly with basketball in relation to the USA from the assumed perspective of a U S reader A particular clear example is the various headings for different levels of basketball all focusing entirely on the sport in the U S The international basketball section which should rightly solely focus on the sport played at the international level mostly does so but then wholly inappropriately has a few short paragraphs about basketball played outside the U S generally In fact the whole headline system of this article is largely inappropriate outside of a U S context as categorisation of basketball playing does not universally reflect the U S model A lot of it is good but perhaps a new article should reflect the development of basketball in the U S whereas this article should be shorter focused and universally relevant
