Luleå has 17 different basketball teams. A concept that makes the city grow basketball-wise.

A total of 15 Swedish Championship golds, it has been for the city's two teams. There should be a basketball team in every district in Luleå, says city's chairman Christer Sehlin. The city's star guard Ellen Nyström comes from the city and has played many games for the team. She says: "It's all about commitment. It's not about winning, it's about being committed"
