Basketball is one of the most widespread sports globally, and with this, two organizations stand out in the world: NBA (National Basketball Association) and EuroLeague (Europa League). There are studies about the changing game structure of basketball and the effects of some parameters on the playing style of basketball. This study includes games played in National Basketball Association (NBA) and European Basketball League (EuroLeague) regular seasons between 2002 and 2020. The points per game, shot attempts/made, three-point attempts/made, rebounds, assists, steals, turnovers, and block averages of the teams have all been grouped and analyzed. Since there are differences between the two leagues in terms of game time and game rules, the change and comparison of these parameters over the years have been made separately for the two leagues. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the most significant changes occurred in the number of shots made per game, the points scored, the average three-point shot attempts per game, and the successful three-point shot attempts as the seasons progressed in the EuroLeague and NBA. The biggest changes in the statistical categories considered within the scope of the study occurred in the three-point attempts and the three-point shooting rate. There are many studies in the literature that have examined both leagues with different parameters and statistical methods. However, considering the continuous changes and developments occurring in the game, it is necessary to update the studies and analyze both leagues by using different statistical methods/approaches.
