History
[edit]Taça Brasil de Basquete (1965–1989)
[edit]From 1965 to 1989, Brazil's top-tier level basketball championship was contested in the Taça Brasil de Basquete (Brazilian Basketball Cup) league. It was organized by the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB). In 1990, it was replaced by the Campeonato Nacional de Basquete (National Basketball Championship).
Campeonato Nacional de Basquete (1990–2008)
[edit]From 1990 to 2008, Brazil's top-tier level basketball championship was contested in the Campeonato Nacional de Basquete (National Basketball Championship), also called Campeonato Brasileiro de Basquete (Brazilian Basketball Championship) league. It was organized by the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB). The Campeonato Nacional had organizational problems, and in 2004, it was nicknamed the "Liga do Busão" ("bus league"), due to the team's transportation by bus, as the CBB wouldn't pay for it, and airplanes tickets were too expensive. In 2009, it was replaced by the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB), organized by the Liga Nacional de Basquete (LNB).
Novo Basquete Brasil (2009–present)
[edit]Since 2009, Brazil's top-tier level basketball championship is contested in the Novo Basquete Brasil. The NBB is endorsed by the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB), and is organized by the Liga Nacional de Basquete (LNB), in a new format of the Brazilian premier basketball league. The league is managed, for the first time, by 19 Brazilian basketball teams, all of which were LNB founding members.
