Just like football，basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world.
The game of basketball has gone a long way since its first game on December 21,1891. In the beginning the game was played so that students could play a game inside when the weather outside became too cold for sports.
Now basketball is played in many different countries around the world.Fans ofbasketball love playing the games in all seasons——summer,winter,spring and fall. In the United States there is the NBA. It has nearly thirty teams with twenty-eight cities as host cities.
All throughout the history of basketball there have been famous players.The most recent NBA stars are players like Michael Jordan，Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming.These players are famous because they play the game of basketball so well. Most of these players are six feet tall or taller. They practise hard to win each game. With so many great players，basketball is becoming one of the most popular sports in America.
It seems that there is always a game of basketball anywhere you are in America at any time of the day. Do you enjoy watching them on TV？

美国的篮球运动
和足球一样，篮球也是世界上最受欢迎的运动之一。
自1891年12月21日举行第一场篮球赛以来，篮球运动已走过了漫长的历程。一开始，打篮球只是为了让学生在天气过冷、不宜做户外运动时做些室内活动。
现在，篮球在世界上很多国家里都很受欢迎。球迷们在各个季节里都爱打篮球——不管是夏天、冬天、春天还是秋天。美国有NBA（国家篮球联赛），它有将近30支球队和28个主办城市。
纵观美国篮球的历史，有许多著名的球星闪耀其间。目前最著名的NBA球星有迈克尔·乔丹、科比·布莱恩特和姚明。这些球星之所以出名，是因为他们把篮球打得出神入化。这些人中的大多数身高都有六英尺或更高。为了打赢每一场比赛，他们刻苦训练。拥有这么多伟大的球星，篮球也成了美国最受欢迎的运动之一。
不论身处美国的哪个地方，在一天的任何时间，好像都会有篮球赛。你喜欢在电视上观看比赛吗？
