Hi Roze,
I generally define keywords/niches as one, two, three or more word (long tail) keywords. Both "sports" and "basketball" on one-word keywords, and are therefore "broad niches".
Also, when I look for a good niche, I am NOT looking for a single keyword, but rather a group of keywords (niche) that has dozens and dozens (or more) good keywords. You will only find these with experience and research.
I use and suggest www.nichebot.com (my affiliate link). They have a cheap trial, and a program that is only $9.95 a month, which offers enough benefits for most SEMers.
They have a bunch of features and you'll need to go over the tutorials to get the most out of Nichebot, but they also include WordTracker results and are much cheaper.
