History and cultural importance
Basketball is one of the most popular sporting events in Australia. It has attracted
numerous sports lovers of the country. This report will analyze the various aspects of this sports
and analyze how it has become very much intertwined in the lives of the common people in the
country (Scanlan, Dascombe and Reaburn 2014). The development of basketball has begun after
Australia put up a very disappointing show in the 2012 London Olympics and most of their
players had failed very miserably.
The sports management of the country has been very problematic for the country like
basketball, swimming and other sports. The cultural factors and role of the government will be
judged in this paper for better understanding in various ways. It is a game i.e. played in both
indoors and outdoors in the country (Scanlan, Dascombe and Reaburn 2014). According to the
surveys, one person among three has extreme importance in the basketball game. In Australia,
this game is played by one million men and women across the country approximately.
This game is definitely very popular and research studies have conveyed that basketball
is basically the second maximum team participation sport while cricket remains the first. The
golden age of basketball is ranged from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. This was the time when
the National Basketball league of Australia was at its peak time. This had motivated many
Australians to join the game also.
Still, it must be pointed out that the media attention and popularity of the game had
dropped down in the 20th century (Scanlan, Dascombe and Reaburn 2014). There was very
limited corporate support for building the infrastructure of the game also. It has to be said that
basketball was the most popular and celebrated sporting event in the province of Victoria.
