Class 704 10/24/11 Imagine sitting in gym class one day and your coach introduces to a new game. The whole class Iinds it Iun and apparently so would a lot oI the world. That is the story oI James Naismith. Dr. James Naismith created the sport we now know as basketball. This is an unbelievable sport where anything can take place. Like now there is a lockout because the players want more money Ior playing. Basketball is a Iantastic sport where anything can happen. He was teaching physical education at YMCA Training School in SpringIield, Massachusetts. He wanted to teach his students a new game which eventually became basketball. It uses peach baskets and a soccer ball. They had to place the ball in the basketball. Now people use rims with nets instead oI peach baskets. Now they`re also special balls made to dribble instead oI soccer balls. They`re new rules, uniIorms, stadiums, teams, and even millions oI dollars can be made to play basketball in the National Basketball Association. Many people love to play basketball because it is Iun and amazing. Others play just to make millions oI dollars. I still believe basketball is a Iantastic sport where anything can happen. There have been amazing games, oIIseason trades, team perIormances, single perIormances, and a lot oI other records. For example an important single perIormance was scoring totals. Kobe Bryant and Wilt Chamberlain scored a lot oI points in one game. Kobe scored 81 points in a game and Wilt scored 100 points in a game. Players can become bad in an instant which can alter a season easily. In Iootball you can`t get bad at catching a ball or running. Whereas in the NBA players can get bad at shooting or you can get better. Ray Allen a basketball player in the 2010 NBA Finals broke a record Ior the most three pointers in a playoII game. AIter that he struggled to hit threes. Lastly weird teams can win a championship in the NBA. A team called the Seattle Supersonics in the 1940`s won and it was a team nobody expected to win. Since it was a best oI seven series it really tested their abilities. So unlike other sports teams can`t lose it all in one chance. The NBA helps out many people in need all oI the time. The NBA Cares Association gives help to other people. They give donations, they build houses, and they also give Iree tickets and a chance to meet someone`s Iavorite basketball player. They encourage kids with diseases or special illnesses to go on when they meet they`re Iamous basketball player. They use their money willingly to beneIit hospitals, organizations, and people in need. Basketball is a Iantastic sport where anything can happen. Basketball is a Iun sport that many people like to play. It is a diIIicult sport where a lot oI practice makes you better. You won`t be good without practice. Whereas in Iootball iI you can catch and run you can be naturally good or baseball iI you catch only, you are good. Basketball is an amazing sport that I love to play and you should try out because anything can happen.
