Jordan and Basketball

Jordan plays basketball. It is his favourite sport. He thinks other sports are fun, but basketball is his favourite sport. His dad likes basketball too — in fact, he named Jordan after a famous basketball player! You don’t need much special equipment to play basketball, so it’s a cheap sport to play. If you have shoes and clothes and a ball, you can play. There are five different positions in basketball: point guard, shooting guard, centre, small forward, and power forward. It’s different from other sports because all of the players can score points, and there’s no goalkeeper. Jordan plays as a point guard. That means he is the fastest person on the team. Basketball is a very fast-moving sport. There is a lot of running, passing, and jumping! Basketball is very popular in America. It was invented there. Basketball is an Olympic sport, too.
