Basketball

So u mite be wondering, Y did I choose basketball? well that's 'cause I finished reading a story that's from basketball (Slam Dunk) so I'm going to post some pictures from that anime too :D.

Basketball's Info:
It's a team sport, played by 5 ppl, and they have to score as many points as possible in a High Hoop (about 3m zomg) obviously the one that scores the most wins.
The first official basketball game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20th,1892 with nine players, on a court just half the size of a present-day National Basketball Association (NBA) court. "Basket ball", the name suggested by one of Naismith's students, was popular from the beginning. This sport is one of the most watched and played world wide. The 5 positions in basketball is PG (point guard), SG (shooting guard), SF (small forward), PF ( power forward) and C (center)
PG are mostly low height ppl, meanwhile C are mostly tall ppl , and they have to control the rebounds, to gain an advantage.

Michael Jordan's bio:
Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born february 17th,1963 ) is a retired professional basketball player. Widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, he became one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s. Here's a pic from him doing a Slam Dunk.

Now here I have a picture from him, compared with Kaede Rukawa, and he is from the anime called Slam Dunk I already mentioned. If u noticed, the visit uniform of Chicago Bulls even looks the same (it's red -_-)
Now another picture from slam dunk :D

Here is Rukawa ( the one with the red uniform) trying to Slam Dunk and the one with the porcupine haircut is his rival Akira Sendoh.

Here's the link to see some of Michael Jordan's plays: http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=OFxXSXGd4hs
