History of basketball

Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. The game first involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. The game was invented in 1891. (John Davis Cantwell, “The boys of winter” Febuary 18 2003) The game has proggressed a lot and is now known as one of America’s most watched sport. There are now many teams and many players to watch and observe. Along with these new players come new skills and new fans. There are many new oppurtunities for fans to become more into the sport. There are some fans who are so much into their teams and players that they will actually travel the world with their team or player just to watch all the games that they play in. You can easily spot fans because they always have props of their favorite teams and players.

My team!

We are now reaching close to the finals and Orlando Magic is doing good. We have been winning our games against the top competitors including The Knicks, Miami Heat, and LA Lakers. If we keep up our pace we could end up going all the way and make it too the finals. Dwight Howard has been keeping his record as our top scorer on the Orlando Magic. As you know Orlando Magic is my favorite team and i have supported them since the beginning and I will continue to support them through the good and bad times. I believe that Dwight Howard deserves the MVP award (Most Valuable Player). Dwight Howard and JJ Redick have brought Orlando Magic from bottom to top. Magic have not had such a good season since we had Tracy McGrady.
