MySpace Basketball Layouts

Your MySpace page is the image you present to the world, and MySpace basketball layouts can let everyone know about your love of the sport and your favorite teams and players.

There are numerous sites dedicated to providing customized MySpace layouts:

• Pyzam has pages featuring NBA layouts and other basketball designs. The NBA section includes images from the Suns, the Celtics and the Spurs, along with designs featuring top players such as Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James. In the basketball category, you can find generic basketball images and themes such as "Straight Ballin'."
• Revolution MySpace also offers an NBA-focused layout section. Available teams include the Pistons, the Lakers and the Knicks, and the site highlights standout players like Yao Ming and Steve Nash. The college sports section offers an assortment of universities, and you can find basketball layouts for the University of Kentucky and the University of Illinois, among others.
• Coolchaser features more generic basketball layouts than the previously mentioned sites. These designs include a single background image of a basketball, a player, a hoop, or another related photo with spaces for text layered over it. There are pictures for every taste, from bold action shots to artistic black-and-white photographs.
• If you don't want to change your entire layout, Contacts for MySpace includes the code for basketball contact tables with images of NBA teams and players.

Adding a new layout is a relatively simple process, and you can be enjoying your new basketball theme in just a few minutes. After logging in to the site, click on the Home link. Next to your profile picture you will see an Edit Profile option. This will take you to the MySpace profile builder where you can change any of the text appearing on your page, like your favorite movies and people you would like to meet. Each of the sites provides a link to the layout code. Just copy and paste this code in the About Me box and save the changes. MySpace has also introduced a separate Profile Editor if you would prefer to use that application to change the look of your page.

Although MySpace basketball layouts can be fun, there are a few negative aspects you should consider before adding one to your page. These layouts are usually graphics-intensive with large image files used for the profile background and numerous other icons and small pictures used for contact lists and other details. This can make them difficult to load on a slow connection or an older computer. Although high-speed Internet connections are increasingly common, if you want your profile to be accessible to as many people as possible, you should choose your layout carefully.

If you are concerned about copyright laws, you should also know that the majority of images you will find in free layouts are not properly licensed and are technically illegal. In most cases, no one will get in trouble for using them for private, non-profit purposes, but if using inappropriately acquired material bothers you, then you should look for profile options that don't use popular team names or sports figures.

Sites featuring MySpace basketball layouts and other extra features for your profile are typically ad-heavy, at times interfering with the experience of browsing for your favorite teams and players. Be cautious about downloading any files, either to acquire your new layout, or through a promotion in one of the site's ads. They can contain viruses and spyware waiting to wreak havoc on your computer. If you do decide to download a file, use a virus scanner before opening or running it. Customizing your MySpace page should be an enjoyable experience – you don't want to ruin it by inadvertently crashing your computer.
