NBA

By: Kaison Acker

Basketball is a sport that requires dedication and time. The most talented players have worked hard to make their dreams come true. My favorite player is Kobe Bryant who passed away in 2020 because of a helicopter crash. I liked him because of his mindset and playing style, always finding things to improve on and identifying his opponent’s weaknesses so he could take advantage and make the game go his way. I play basketball because it was a sport my dad did when he was younger and I wanted to be like him so I started working on my game to get better. Basketball is a sport that has been around since 1891 by James Naismith. The first-ever league called the NBA was founded on June 6, 1946. The NBA has around 30 teams and they consist of: Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, San Antonio Spurs.
