Professional Basketball is the highest level of basketball in each country or region, aside from international tournaments. In professional basketball, players are compensated for their play (usually by money) and games are, in most cases, televised or shown to the public. Players are selected by a draft or by team tryouts in the offseason of the league after having a prior successful career, whether that be in high school, college or another league overseas.
