WELCOME TO HOPE'S SPORTS ARENA!




Sports have been around for hundreds of years! Now the idea of sports have throughout the world and many people are enjoying this entertainment. At first, women were NOT allowed to participate in any sports due to the silly laws of the men. They were only allowed to watch and or stay home and take care of the house and the children. Now that all of that has been cleared up, women have succeeded in every apect of sports. From basketball to soccer and from golf to rock climbing.

The first and most facinating sport that I will be discussing will be

BASKETBALL!

About 50 years ago, basketball wasn't so popular. Some people started an idea of founding an association on the sport: basketball. The idea was starting a long period of game play, and choose the best 16 teams and start the "playoffs". After the playoff, there was a team who is the winner. People became curious about this kind of association and many collage student who played basketball very well wanted to play in the NBA.


When a person thinks about basketball a few names that come to mind are MICHAEL JORDON, ERVING "MAGIC" JOHNSON, WILT CHAMBERLAND and the like. These are great men and great athletes. So for our tour of the NBA and its players let's start off with the infamous Chicago Bulls.

The bulls have had many successful trips to the playoffs and have won 6 championships all together! This has been a great stride for them but now that the majority of the members from that winning team have gone and moved on to other teams or have retired the Bulls have not been doing as well as they used to. However, here are some STATS from the past years that should let people know how good a team they were.


FOR CHICAGO FANS This web site has cool an exciting things for you Die-Hard Chicago fans. Every thing from tickets to going inside withthe Chicago bulls and much more. You can also read the fan mail that you all send to the basketball players.

Last but not least; we all know about Michael Jordon leaving his home town The city of Chicago to be the president of the Washigton Wizards this move really hurt the town of Chicago and left them feeling as if Michael ahd deserted them but all in all I think that Michael knows that without his fans there would have never been an Air Jordon!
