The success of facebook has spawned an explosion of niche social networks all focusing on specific areas of interest.

There are several Basketball Social Networks that exist online but sadly many of them are nothing more than advanced forums.

The basketball community needs to assess basketball social networks according to the value they provide to basketballers.

There is no point joining a basketball social network if it is a glorified forum or facebook copy cat.

A good basketball network will provide basketball fans with many of the following features.

1. A personal Basketball profile page containing all their Basketball photos, videos and other Basketball specific content.

2. Basketball News Feeds to keep them up to date with everything happening in the world of Basketball

3. Basketball Video Lessons that provide Basketball instruction guaranteed to increase their skill level.

4. Basketball Articles and Tips from some of the top Basketball coaches online.

5. Basketball Equipment Reviews to help make more informed buying decisions.

6. Basketball Forum to network with like minded basketball fans world wide.

7. Basketball web store to buy and sell Basketball equipment

And much more.

Facebook, twitter, myspace and other general social networks are not dedicated enough to basketball to satisfy the needs of the pure basketball enthusiast.

Fan clubs or groups rarely retain the basketball fans interest for very long.

Basketball fans need a basketball community that blends social networking functionality with cutting edge basketball instruction ranging from quality articles to HD basketball video lessons.

The online basketball social networking space is polluted with many different websites who purchase off the shelf software and throw in a few basketball videos and photos, and think they have a basketball social network.

This type of basketball community will never flourish because basketball fans will realize the community has no real substance.

So in order to identify a basketball social network worth joining, find one that you can answer yes to the following questions;

1. Does the site provide its members with basketball video lessons that will improve their skill level?

2. Does the site provide its members with basketball news feeds to keep them up to date with all things happening in the world of basketball?

3. Does the site provide its members with valuable basketball articles and tips?

4. Does the site enable members to set up their own basketball groups?

5. Does the site provide its members with a personal profile dedicated exclusively to basketball?

If you can find a basketball community that you can answer yes to all of these questions, then that is a basketball network worth joining.
