Where To Bet on the NBA? Who Will Win the Larry O'Brian Trophy?

The NBA (National Basketball Association) is one of the most popular leagues in the world.

One of the biggest reasons? The international expansion of the game - the NBA is one of the most popular professional sports leagues in countries such as China and Spain, to name just a few.

This international expansion has produced a number of exciting new stars in the league, including the likes of Luka Doncic, who, at the age of 21, is already one of the top players in the league.

This new star power is vaulting the league to new heights, as the likes of Doncic, Giannis and Lebron continue to entertain fans all around the world.





The NBA (and basketball in general) is one of the most intriguing sports to bet on.

With the NBA, the games have a "spread", where one team is given points. For instance, a betting line might look like this:

Los Angeles Clippers, -6.5, 1.90
Dallas Mavericks, +6.5, 1.90

This means that if you bet on the Mavericks +6.5, the Mavericks could lose by 6 points and you'd still win the bet, as you get 6.5 points added to their score at the end of the game.

On the other hand, the Clippers would have 6.5 points taken away from their score, so they must win easily or else you will lose the bet.

If you wish to straight up on the game, this is the "money line" and the odds might look like this:

Dallas Mavericks, 3.15
Los Angeles Clippers, 1.38

These odds mean that a successful 100 Euro bet on the Mavericks would create a total profit of 215 EUR, while a successful 100 EUR bet on the Clippers would return a total profit of 38 EUR.

There are many other types of bets that you can place on NBA games as well, including:

1. Who will win the first half
2. Who will win the first quarter
3. Who will score 10 points first
4. How many points will Lebron James score
5. How many rebounds will Giannis have in a game

The list goes on and on.

Larry O'Brien NBA Trophy:

The trophy given to the team that wins the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals is known as the Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy. Named after former NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien, the trophy has been awarded to the winning team of the NBA Finals since 1977. Prior to that, the NBA champions received the Walter A. Brown Trophy, named after the original owner of the Boston Celtics.

The Larry O'Brien Trophy is made of sterling silver overlaid with 24-karat gold. It stands about 2 feet tall and weighs approximately 14.5 pounds. It is designed and manufactured by Tiffany and Co.

Each year the winning team's name and year of victory are engraved onto the trophy before it's presented to the team. Eventually, the trophy is returned to the league to be presented to the next champion. However, the winning team does receive a smaller replica of the trophy to keep.
