Basketball is a very exciting sport. There are numerous basketball stars and icons that have swept the basketball viewing public throughout the years. Each basketball team is also equally popular because they are the cradle of the basketball superstars.

The game of basketball is definitely a team effort. Basketball isn’t played individually, but rather collectively. Each game is a team effort. In fact, in every game of basketball, no individual is declared the winner of the game. It is always the team.

Basketball players play the game excellently because they want to accrue scores not for themselves but for the team. However, there are awards and recognition given to players who have contributed greatly and accumulated points or scores throughout the game.

When fans rush to the basketball courts to flock basketball stars, they come to flock the team as well. A basketball superstar not only carries his name but also that of the team.

How are superstar basketball teams born? Well, a good track record is the key. And how is it attained? Simple: just by winning the most games.

The sweep

There are many basketball tournaments and conferences in every country. There are those events that are held annually for a regular interval. During these games, often, there are mainstay teams that regularly play at the basketball event.

When a team wins for two or more consecutive years, it is termed in sports and basketball lingo as a ’sweep’. Thus, be it in the NBA or in whatever basketball tournament all over the world, the word ’sweep’ is one of the sweetest and most sought-after terms in the ever-growing and exciting basketball vocabulary.

For a team to complete a sweep, it should consistently hold its excellence. Consistency is one of the hardest concepts in basketball because it is hard to assure that a team will win every game.
