Sports in the past may have started off with a
simple notion in mind, take Basketball for
example a game whose roots could be traced back
to 1861 when it was first played by James
Naismith. Naismith might have had a simple idea
in mind back then playing with a ball, two
baskets, and a court. Today the world of
basketball has come a long way and rightfully be
called a billon dollar sport. Over the years, the
sport has introduced optimized rules and has
increasingly become dependent on technological
advancement that has changed the way we play and
view the sport forever.

A major development that has reshaped the sport
is technology. Over the years multiple
advancements have been made in the technological
forefront which is implemented in the sport from
time to time. Let's see how NBA has transformed
through the years.

It might not seem that big of a move now but the
introduction of a shot clock in NBA in 1954
changed the way we play the sport. Back in the
day when the shot clock was not part of the sport
the lowest-scoring game was actually a 37-point
game in total where Minneapolis Lakers and Fort
Wayne Pistons ended the match with 18-19 which is
a stark contrast from the games we see now where
37 points are sometimes even scored in a quarter.
In fact, Klay Thompson alone scored 37 points and
set the record for the highest-scoring quarter in
NBA history back in 2015.
5
Since the shot clock has been introduced the
lowest-scoring NBA game was between Milwaukee
Hawks and Boston Celtics where both the teams
scored 119 points, finishing 57-62. Earlier the
teams would play a game of keep-away throughout
the match now because of the clock half-minute of
keep-away would mean a turnover in the league.
6
Live streaming in sports has further driven the
popularity of the sport and revolutionized the
sport in the modern world. NBA was limited to
certain geographical areas in past days and even
restricted to limited TV channels now sports has
surpassed the geographical boundaries and anyone
across the world with an internet connection and
subscription can get access to the match. Live
streaming has even opened up a new revenue stream
for companies with in-play betting and betting on
the outcomes of the match based on live
basketball odds on websites and apps.
7
Improved Tech has been introduced from the buzzer
sound which earlier sounded like a shot was fired
to the buzzer sound today which makes it easy for
referees and the players to determine when the
game is over. Further, the ability to record and
replay to make a decision when two teams lock
horns on an event made things more transparent
and honest. Red LED lights have been added to the
backboard which glows when the game is over as
well as the clock is more accurate to the second.

Referees whistles even have a sensing device
that instantly pauses the clock when they blow on
the whistle and have access to a button on their
waist with which they can control the clock and
restart it without wasting precious time.
9
Technological advancement has even made Athlete
tracking a very methodological task. Where the
athletes health is tracked at all times on a
real-time basis which is further supplemented
with tracking sensors. All this creates a rich
database that is used by coaches and medical
staff to evaluate their health all through the
season making it easier to decide which player
needs to be rested for an upcoming match and it
would help in preventing injuries as well.
10
Extensive use of tracking devices is used during
training and other activities as well which helps
in running statistical analysis and even
predicting outcomes for betting. Technology has
truly transformed the sport from highlights to
replays, all the exciting events from the NBA
matches make their way onto social media as well
as the game becomes popular among its fans.
11
All the tech-related advancements that have
popularized sports, it has changed sports for the
better even. Fans have more tools at their
disposal to compare players and coaches can
create and analyze strategies as well in a much
more efficient manner. But the technological
advancement would be as efficient as the thought
process behind the idea, the research that went
into it before it was made a reality, and sports
data which is the backbone of the sports industry.
12
All this is done with access to complete and
accurate basketball data feeds which is made
possible by companies like Data Sports Group. One
