Basketball slogans can be defined as slogans which are adopted by basketball teams to emphasis their mottos (morals) and objectives
. These slogans are used by players to get determination, promote teamwork and to do their best in the game. These slogans may also serve to intimidate opponent teams. An ideal slogan for a basketball team should cover all the aforementioned aspects, but most slogans cover only some of these aspects.
These slogans are important because they reflect the essence of the team. The team's objectives and hopes are reflected by their slogan. All team members should respect their team's slogan and combine their own personal moral with their team's slogan. Only then will basketball players be able to play with both their bodies and their minds.
The basketball team slogan may be decided by the team manager, the team leader or a collective decision of the team manager, the team leader and rest of the players. It is always advisable to take a collective decision. Then all players will feel to be part of the slogan and then they are more likely to work for the slogan (and the team).
