Street basketball

• Street basketball is come from USA, and so many
  young people like it, because they feel that is
  very cool and exciting
• Streetball is a very popular game worldwide, and
  some cities in the United States have organized
  streetball programs, such as midnight basketball,
  as a way for young people to keep out of trouble
  and avoid problems such as juvenile crime and
  drugs. Many cities even host their own
  weekend-long streetball tournaments. Hoop-It-Up
  and the Houston Rockets Blacktop Battle are two
  of the most popular. In recent years, streetball
  has seen an increase in notoriety and exposure in
  media due in part to television shows such as
  ESPN's "Streetball" and "City Slam", as well as
  traveling exhibitions such as the AND1 Mixtape
  Tour and Ball4Real. 
• AND1 is a famous company which is provide the
  streetball equipment.

All-star Weekend

• Major events held during All-Star Weekend include
  two exhibition games held on Friday and several
  competitions held on "All-Star Saturday"
• Friday
• Rookie Challenge This event pits selected
  rookies (first year players) against selected
  sophomores (second year players) of the league.
• Celebrity All-Star Game Many different
  celebrities are selected such as actors and
  singers to play against each other in an East vs.
  West Game. Each team gets one WNBA player to play
  on their team.
• Saturday
• D-League All-Star game First held in 2007, this
  game features the best players from the NBA's
  "minor league". The First winner was the East by
  a score of 114-100. The D-League All-Star game
  was not held in the same arena as all the other
  All-Star Saturday activities. Instead, it was
  held on NBA Jam Session's practice court. Pops
  Mensah-Bonsu won the MVP award of the game with
  30 points and 7 rebounds.
• Slam Dunk Contest This competition showcases the
  creativity and athletic ability of some of the
  league's best dunkers. The specific rules of the
  contest are decided each year, but the
  competition is always judged subjectively. After
  each dunk, or attempted dunk, competitors are
  awarded a mark out of 10 from five judges, giving
  a possible high score of 50. The usual rules of
  'traveling' and double dribbling do not apply.
  The dunk contest is the highlight of the weekend.
  
• Three-point Shootout The league's best three
  point shooters shoot five shots from five
  different spots around the three point line. Each
  shot is worth one point except the last ball of
  each rack (informally called 'money balls'),
  which is worth two points. The highest score
  available in one round is 30 points.
• Skills Challenge A relatively new event that
  pits selected players in a timed obstacle course
  of dribbling, shooting and passing. Agility,
  quickness and accuracy all come into play.
• Shooting Stars Competition A retired NBA player,
  a current NBA player and a WNBA player,
  representing their teams' cities compete together
  in a shooting competition.
• Legends Classic Held from 1984 to 1993, the
  Classic was a game featuring retired NBA players.
  As in the All-Star Game, the teams were
  designated East and West. The Legends game opened
  the Saturday program. The NBA canceled the
  Legends Classic after 1994 due to the players'
  frequent injuries from the game, perhaps due to
  the large range in fitness levels among younger
  and older alumni.The Shooting Stars competition
  is largely its replacement.

Basketball team

• This team is Los Angeles Lakers
• I like this team, because they are a champion
  team, and their basketball style is very cool. In
  the history, this team got champion cup 11 times,
  and there are so many famous basketball players
  in this team, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Earvin
  'Magic' Johnson, and head coach Pat Riley. They
  are hero in the match and they lead their team
  got the champion, and their skill is very well,
  their action is very beautiful and cool, they are
  a great team, and they are very comity, they
  don't engross the shoot chances, and they often
  creat shoot chances for their teammates, so when
  we watch their match, we will feel very good and
  exciting.

Superstar

• Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963)
  is the player who I like very much
• Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963)
  is a retired American professional basketball
  player and active businessman. His biography on
  the National Basketball Association (NBA) website
  states, "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the
  greatest basketball player of all time."1
  Jordan was 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.
• After a stand-out career at the University of
  North Carolina, Jordan joined the NBA's Chicago
  Bulls in 1984. He quickly emerged as one of the
  stars of the league, entertaining crowds with his
  prolific scoring. His leaping ability,
  illustrated by performing slam dunks from the
  free throw line at Slam Dunk Contests, earned him
  the nicknames "Air Jordan" and "His Airness." He
  also gained a reputation as one of the best
  defensive players in basketball. In 1991, he won
  his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and
  followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and
  1993, securing a "three-peat." Though Jordan
  abruptly left the NBA at the beginning of the
  1993-94 NBA season to pursue a career in
  baseball, he rejoined the Bulls in 1995 and led
  them to three additional championships (1996,
  1997, and 1998) as well as an NBA-record 72
  regular-season wins in the 199596 season. Jordan
  retired for a second time in 1999, but he
  returned for two more NBA seasons in 2001 as a
  member of the Washington Wizards.
