National Basketball Association Cheerleading

National Basketball Association Cheerleading

National Basketball Association Cheerleading, or simply NBA Cheerleading, is a professional cheerleading league[1] in Canada and the United States that supports a professional basketball team.[2] NBA Cheerleading is similar to NFL Cheerleading and NHL Ice Dancers, which is also a professional cheerleading league, in that they not only compete on their own but also support a men's sports team.[3] NBA Cheerleaders also are usually involved in charity work, fundraisers, and modeling.[4] NBA Cheerleaders are also well known for their fashionable uniforms and costumes.[5]
