There is one international sport.  No, its not football, as American football is not popular in most of your countries, and your football is not popular here.

 

The sport that is popular in most countries is Basketball.  Our professional NBA teams and players are popular in most countries, selling all types of licensed products.

In America the 2 month long NBA Playoffs are just beginning, creating a lot of excitement.

  

The game has popular pinball mechanical features including a spinning disk in the playfield center, captive ball, drop targets, ramps, diverter and the like. 

 

NBA has a basketball backboard with magnet.  When the player shoots a basket, the magnet holds the ball momentarily and then drops it toward the basket, assisting the player.  NBA has 3 spectacular basketball shots.  There is a ramp shot off the flippers aimed at the basket.  There is a jump shot, made when the ball goes up a plastic ramp and circles just below the basket.  And there is a free throw shot, where the ball is thrown 12 inches (30 centimeters) through the air to the basket.

 

The game is very understandable.  The game keeps track of a player's basketball points earned for shooting baskets and of normal pinball points.  The novice player may concentrate on shooting baskets.  Reaching various levels of basketball score turns on various features.  Experts will find plenty of modes and rules to strategize as they try to maximize normal pinball points.
