[[Basketball]] cards feature one or more players of the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]], [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]], [[Olympic basketball]], [[Women's National Basketball Association|WNBA]], [[Women's Professional Basketball League|WBL]], or some other basketball-related theme.
