Over the course of the past several years, the North Iowa Fire basketball program has helped me become a much better basketball player but it has also done so much more. The Fire program provided me with the opportunity to make, what are now, some of my closest friends. Throughout my years in the program, we went through our struggles, but from these struggles I learned the value of hard work and competing at every level. North Iowa Fire helped me fall in love with the game of basketball and I learned so much about myself that I never knew.

Swish! You hear that a lot if your a Golden State Warriors fan. The Warriors have won 5 NBA titles and are fourth in the most titles won. First being the Boston Celtics with 17.

My family was born to play basketball, both of my brothers had the size and athleticism to play professionally, and my dad towered over others standing at 6’6”. At a young age I was expected to follow in their footsteps. However, I did not have the size that the rest of my family did, and struggled to compete due to my small stature. In the seventh grade I tried out for my middle school basketball team and was promptly told I wasn’t good enough to play. I came home crying feeling that I disappointed my family. The next year, during the eighth grade try-outs, the coach said the same thing and broke my heart for the second year in a row. Dissatisfied with these results, I promised that I would make a change before entering high school.

To achieve a goal a team has to work together. I was mad when Liam had to move away from Carter, his best friend, and cousin. I was sad when I moved out my old house that my parents brought me home to when I was born. This has changed me because I used to be jealous of people when they had something I wanted but I have changed. One of many ways this changed me is that I have learned to never give up.

When someone asks you who the greatest basketball team is in history, there is only one answer. There is no thinking required, no Googling the answer, you instantly know and you don’t have to be a sports fanatic. It was led by arguably the greatest player in the sports history and also by one of the greatest coaches. The 1990’s Chicago Bulls are the best NBA team on record and I will proceed to explain why this is and what it took to get there.

The Golden State Warriors' recent NBA title will prove to be a turning point in basketball's evolution. While the game has been steadily drifting away from the Goliath vs. Goliath monotony of center-oriented post play, league-MVP Stephen Curry & Co. shattered several prevailing NBA myths when they finished off Lebron James' Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6.

As the summer winds down and the NBA season is upon us, the Golden State Warriors are planning for their fight to claim another championship ring. Last season, the Warriors won the most games in a single season in NBA history (73), but fell just short of winning back-to-back championships. Having recruited superstar Kevin Durant, who joined the team this summer, seems to have made Golden State even more frightening than it already was. However, past experiences have shown us that a cluster of superstars on one team doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic ring.

The Pistons just fired Stan van Gundy for two rookies as head coach jake plamondon and Isaiah Lynn. It's they're first time coaching in the NBA ever. They are trying to turn the Pistons around into a championship contender. In they're press conference earlier they stated "we are looking for constant improvement and it all starts with trades, budgets, and free agents."

The 1992-1993 season rolled around, with Jordan and the Chicago Bulls looking to make history yet again. Early in the year the Bulls started off slow and looked as if they did not have a chance for the title. (Christopher 97) By the end of the season they were learning to win again “winning the Central Division with a 57-25 record, third best in the league” (Christopher 97). Once again the Bulls made it to the Championship Game leaving every person in shock that they made it once again. The Bulls were up against the Phoenix Sun and pushed the series to game six where the Chicago Bulls were in the position to three-peat. The end of the game was near when the Bulls were down by two, 99-98, when Suns guard threw up an air ball with 14 seconds left. (Christopher 100).

The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t been that good without LeBron James. Entering their matchup with the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night, the Cavs were 3-12 in the last two seasons in games that James has missed. With a slim 99-98 victory over Dallas Wednesday in Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland showed it is possible to get into the win column without James on the floor.

The Basketball Association of America (BAA) was first established on June 6, 1946 in New York City. It was later renamed to the National Basketball Association in the wake of joining with the National Basketball League (NBL) in 1949.

My my cousin Zack, his girlfriend at the time Skylar, Zack’s mom, my second mom, my amazing and caring mom Becky, my very good friend Amber and I went to the cities for a weekend to go shopping and watch some Team ND Hockey. After a long day of stressful hockey games and going into double overtime Zack’s team ended winning that game and moving into the championship game held the next day at 8:ooam, yes 8:00 in the morning, killer right? Since his game that day was at noon and got over around 2:00 we had the whole day to do what every girl does best, shop. Oh and if you are Zack this is what he does best also. It wasn’t that nice out but we didn’t care because all we wanted to do was go shopping. It was the last weekend in September so it was

Sports were created almost 3000 years ago with Hercules, son of Zeus, the founder of the Olympic Games. The early Olympic sports consisted of men competing in one event, the one-stade race, which remained the only event for the first 13 Olympics. The Olympic Games were created to show the greatest physical qualities and mental discipline, no women were allowed to compete and married women weren’t allowed to attend the religious festival. Today men and women compete in over 50 Olympic Games, participants from many different nations consisting of summer sports along with winter sports.
