NBA

  NBA (National Basketball Association).
  Basketball was invented by a Canadian named James Naismith during the early 1890's in Toronto.   His basketball invention in the 1890's had peach baskets without a hole in the bottom. They had to take the ball out every time by using a ladder. In the 1900's James Naismith decided to cut a hole in the bottom to poke the ball out and still not damage the basket.
   In the 1950's the most popular basketball players in that decade like Bill Russell, he played for the Boston Celtics, Wilt Chamberlain the LA Lakers he can average a double double per game, and he stills holds the record of points in a single game with 100 points and 55 rebounds.  In the 1980's had the best player in the early 80's named Larry Bird.
  Today there are 30 teams in the NBA like the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns, Sacremto Kings, LA Lakers, LA Clippers, Golden State Warriors, Olkama Thunder, Washington Wizards, Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzles, Cleveland Caviliers, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, New Orleans Hornets, Charlotte Bobcats, Seattle SuperSonics, Utah Jazz, Indiana Pacers, Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Philapedia 76ers, New Jersey Nets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, and finally Portland Trail Blazers. In 1985-86 a man named Micheal Jordan he played for the Chigago Bulls and in game 2 for the 1986 playoffs he scored 63 points in a single playoff game he still holds the record today.
  In the early 80's Micheal Jordan enter the slam dunk competition against the best dunkers like Dominique Wilkins, Doc Rivers, Spub Webb, and James Worthy. In the late 80's a man named Scottie Pippen a small forward who was great in defense and played for the Chicago Bulls. The best rebounder was Dennis Rodman who played for the Chicago Bulls, in the 1980's he got a single game rebounding record with 35 rebounds in the NBA finals. In the 1990's a Center named Shaquille O'Neal, he is the most interesting man in today's game, his size and ability are unmatched. In 1991 a man with a lot of talent,was Earvin "Magic" Johnson, he is the best all around player until he retired because of HIV.
  In 2002 LeBron James got drafted 1st round and 1st pick, he is amazing. In 2008 a man name Derrick Rose he plays for the Chigago Bulls and in 2010 he won the MVP of the year.
  I love Basketball, it is an awesome sport, and they are all great teams. I hope the NBA has a season next year because it is in a semi-lockout  mostly because of high money contracts.
