History of Basketball
Basketball today is a fast paced sport, played all around the world. It originated as a simple physical education game invented by Dr. James Naismith, a teacher at the YMCA Training School at Springfield College, in Massachusetts. At that time, there was a growing need for an indoor winter game that could keep students interested in gym classes. All the physical education instructors were asked to experiment with different games. Hence, the final result, basketball. Naismith tried a several different versions including one where the students were told to tackle their opponents by grabbing the runner above the waist and holding him down. The students did not really like this. Naismith attached two peach baskets to the balcony at the opposite ends of the gymnasium. They were place ten feet high, which has not changed over the years.

Tribute to Michael Jordan
My favorite all time basketball player is Michael Jordan. He was the king of basketball. Just count his NBA titles. No one will ever come close to his excellence. They may be able to break his title, but they can never break his legacy. Now that he has come back to the game, he is bigger than ever.

Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. He is the fourth of five children, having two older brothers and an older and younger sister. As a child, Jordan played a lot of baseball but he slowly began spending a lot of time on the basketball court. Larry, his older (and taller) brother continuously beat him whenever they played one-on-one. He quickly became determined to become the better player.

Jordan eventually proved that he belonged in the big leagues and his acrobatic moves and hang-time won him the famous nickname "Air Jordan". His basketball skills made him the perfect key figure to market both Nike products and the NBA. Jordan soon led the Chicago Bulls to three consecutive World Championships (1991, 1992 and 1993). He retired from in 1994 after the mysterious death of his father.
