Basketball
Host of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games, FIBA Tournaments and World Tours as well as professional NBA exhibition games, Montréal is a leading international basketball destination that has it all. NBA athletes such as Chris Boucher, Luguentz Dort and Khem Birch all got their start here. Montréal is a vibrant and livable city because of its close-knit communities. Outdoor basketball courts are middle grounds where old and young alike meet up and play, contributing to Montréal’s unique urban fabric. Basketball is more than just a sport in Montréal: it is a way for neighbours to bond and celebrate the city’s dynamic diversity.
