What if problem had not hitted those basketball legends?

Michael JordanLen Bias the player with a height of 6'8" and 210lbs, died due to overdose of drugs. What if he be alive today? Would it had been a different case if Bill Walton would not have been injured so many times to his knee. More-over many a times players are traded or are drafted so as to select a team of everybody's choice, meanwhile some nice players are left behind. Arvydas Sabonis, Keith van horn, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell all were such fanatic players who could have changed the complete scenario of this game if were not been either left un-drafted or were not been traded after been in the team.

We often hears about some of the players who changed the way the game is played. Its all because of the way the played the game and according to them is important to them. The aptitude and the commitment towards their game makes them so much famous for their game. But if this commitment exceeds the limits it creates problems for the future of the sport of that personality. Many such cases are present throughout the world where one can often feel that what could have been the future if those people would have persisted for some more period in their individual sports.

Looking at the real life sense of these players we find that they were more than just nation lovers. It was found that they possessed hard feelings of commitment and resentment for the people whom they loved and cared. More-over politics also affects only those who are calm and passionate in their activity. Why is it so that the powerful is always seen quite? May be because they possess a better understanding of this world.

What ever it may; do not you people feel that it could have been a different adventure if those people be present those fantastic times. I miss them, you may-might not!

Basketball in India and around the world

Basketball had been a passionate game throughout the world, but was never been able to spread its wings in India. The game which makes you dissolve in your own sweat without letting you get dirty in sand or dust. Originally the game was invented by a Canadian physical education professor, he simply hanged a basket at a wall in inverted position for letting the students to score the points as per to the ducks been made.

Even the greatest (Indian) lovers of this game are not making any attempts to popularize this game in their home country. What is been noticed since a long gone past is that most Indians even do not want to know anything else then cricket. I even think sometimes that if our politicians can't promote other sports in the nation's interest then why don't they make a attempt to make Cricket our national game.

OK! we hear Indian basketball is making its ways towards the Asian level games but what there after? I know you all had never heard of Indian basketball team been reached at the International level. None of you can identify the leading basketball players of Indian team. Why? did you ever gave a thought to the point? Hardly ! am i correct?
I possess some common reasons for the purpose. These are :-
- First the unawareness about the game, its rules, its future scope.
- Second, the non availability of its resources, even the basic required a cemented floor might not be available at some important playing fields.
- Third, awareness resisting environment at the playing environment.
- A better trainer for the players.
- And even a healthy competitive environment.

Fulfilling the required requirements can make even our nation a leading competitor in this game in a decade or so.
