When you talk about basketball a name that crosses your mind instantly is MICHEAL JORDAN.He took the game to a new height, and if he wasn't there this would have been just another game like golf or rugby which any one hardly watches.
Basketball fever has also gripped india and with players like Talwinder Singh Sahi a.k.a iverson and Harsimran Singh a.k.a simon(Both brothers) this game has got new dimensions.
simon and iverson are the players who can proudly be called viewer's delight, they are the kind of players even N.B.A(National Basketball Association) would love to have but the irony is that these guys doesnt get enough support and publicity even though they have helped india countless number of times to overcome certain obstacles like Kazagistan and other countries.
But the fact is that our people of our country are so much crazy over cricket that they have completely forgotten other games(that include our national game Hockey also).
The other factor that has affected children a lot is the politics that exist even in the sport arena.There are players who deserve lot more than what they are getting now but its just that they don't have enough money to back their talents. But then again maybe IT'S NOT THE TALENT WHAT IS LOOKED FOR IN A PLAYER</B?
