Latar Belakang Pengadaan Proyek Olahraga bola basket adalah olahraga bola berkelompok yang terdiri atas dua tim beranggotakan masing-masing lima orang yang saling bertanding mencetak poin dengan memasukkan bola ke dalam keranjang lawan1. Olahraga bola basket sangat berkembang dan digemari di dunia sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan tahun 1891 oleh Dr. James Naismith, seorang guru olahraga asal Kanada. Pada tahun 1930-an, klub-klub olahraga bola basket mulai banyak bermunculan di beberapa kota besar Indonesia, seperti: Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, dan Medan. Olahraga bola basket dimainkan pertama kali di level nasional pada PON (Pekan Olahraga Nasional) I pada tahun 1948. Dalam perkembangannya, untuk membina kegiatan olahraga bola basket di Indonesia, dibentuk satu- satunya organisasi induk dengan nama “Persatuan Bola Basket seluruh Indonesia” disingkat Perbasi pada tahun 1951. Perbasi melakukan kegiatan yang sifatnya regional, nasional, dan internasional. Tahun 1953 Perbasi diterima menjadi anggota International Basketball Federation yang lebih dikenal sebagai FIBA dan setahun kemudian Indonesia mengirim tim olahraga bola basket di Asian Games Manila untuk pertama kalinya. Perbasi menyelenggarakan kompetisi bergengsi antar klub-klub olahraga bola basket di Indonesia.
