This paper found out the key factors of the degree of internationalization and examined the effect of team diversity on team performance in the National Basketball Association by using panel data analysis with the characters of cross-sectional and time-series. The panel data was gathered from 30 teams of NBA from 2000 to 2013. The results revealed that some specific variables would affect the team diversity such as the coach age, eastern conference and the team location. Besides, team diversity was positively associated with team performance examined by the dependent variables of win ratio and playoffs. This evidence is consistent with the perspective of Cox, Lobel and McLeod (1991). Last but not least, the empirical data showed there is no relationship between the team diversity and the box office.
