Like every human being, every basketball team is also unique. What makes it unique? Look at the game of basketball: champion teams are not necessarily the number one team in the league. At times, underdogs win championships. On the other hand, look at the National Basketball Association, or NBA. You will notice a see-saw battle between teams in a season. Top ranked teams beat the lower ranked teams, and lower ranked teams beat the top ranked teams. It is unpredictable. However, you can see that during playoffs, teams come up with higher levels of desire and energy to win. Every single game counts. The team that is totally equipped to win a championship crown usually emerges as victorious.
