How do the nba find out about yoou?

Um....sorry, one of the first things anybody would notice about you would be your command of the english language, ie spelling, syntax, things like that.

Besides that, previous commentators have pointed out that you need t excell in an organized league, not just street balling.

Show ability to learn and be coached. Play in an organized league and do well in school. Do that and the NBA will find you.

Go to the University of Kentucky!

All you guys who said that your avarege per game is about 20pts or more thats because you guys didnt had a goos defender!

Try to play some pickup one on one against ex nba players, then see what they think of you chances.

Be good o your high school team, be recruited into a college, play well there, and hope to be selected for the NBA draft.

Best advice is to move to the US and play AAU, then high school ball, if you are even remotely close to good enough for pro ball then you will be offered a college scholarship. From there you interview and/or work out for a team and you hope to be drafted. Or you can join the NBDL (NBA minor league and hope to be brought up) You could also be noticed by playing well in the Olympics or FIBA play for your country

i mean, how can u get a contract and requirements

Hello I am 7' tall, was drafted #2 in 2003 NBA draft, but coach never put me in the games :( I have great 3pt shot, hit all my freethrows and am a defensive beast, please help me get back into the NBA.

I live in England and have been playin basketball for about 8 months now and I've really progressed. Ive been scouted to my city team. I'm 16 going on 17 and I'm about 6.2 200lbs. I play pf or centre because of my size, my dad is 6ft and my mum is ridiculously small so do you think I'll grow any bigger. I doubt I have a chance in the nba but in England I have a really good chance, a chance for the 2016 olympics
