Human: How many NBA conferences are there?

Assistant: 
The NBA season is divided into two parts: the regular season, and the postseason, called the “Playoffs”.  For the postseason, there are four divisions in the “Eastern Conference”, and five divisions in the “Western Conference”.  I recommend checking out this video for a quick overview:
There are 32 conferences that provide member schools to the Association of Basketball Coaches, whose membership all affiliate themselves with the National Basketball Association.  Additionally, there are 14 conferences that are not affiliated with the National Basketball Association but are included in NCAA men’s basketball’s divisions.
