Basketball
Pennsylvania is home to the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA, also being the only one of the big four sports in Pennsylvania not to have a team in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania's many NCAA college teams, like the Villanova Wildcats and the Pittsburgh Panthers, make a large impact, rather than NBA teams.

Famous quotes containing the word basketball:
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
