NBA Lockout

       A lot of basketball fans around the world are disappointed because of the NBA lockout. Basically the lockout is  taking place because the commissioner of the NBA doesn't wan't to give a lot of money, but the NBA wan't to get a raise. In other words the commissioner is in charge of the NBA players paychecks and he doesn't want to give them more money, but the NBA players wan't more money. Since both sides don't agree the players don't play and no profits are made.


 Some players just want to play basketball so some of the big stars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Deron Williams,e.t.c. are signing short term contracts with international teams like teams from Turkey and other countries. Most people don't get to watch Turkey and other countries basketball games on their T.V. What I'm going to try to do to avoid the lockout is watch another sport or watch a lot of college basketball.

Basketball

     Basketball is a unique sport that can keep stress away from your life, if you have a passion for it. If you are mad entering the court, I guarantee you won't be leaving the court. If you are mad you put that aggressiveness on the court, and try your hardest, and the chances are if you try your hardest you will always win. Winning also makes you happy. Personally I'm a Miami Heat fan, but I'm not going not going to focus on the Heat that much. I will write about the game of basketball not just about the NBA, although I will put some basketball videos and write about recent basketball games. So stay tuned for more updates.


     For people out there who don't know much about basketball, here is a little story  about how the game was made. Basketball was created in Springfield, Illinois by James Naismith in a YMCA gym. They put up peach baskets to use as the hoop and a regular ball to shoot with. Every time some made a basket they had to climb a ladder to bring the ball down. The current height of a basketball hoop is ten feet high because the wall they put the peach baskets on was ten feet high. Many of the rules back then weren't the same as they are now, but over time the game evolved and new rules were added. Then the game evolved and new rules were added. This then became the sport we know as basketball.
