hello, welcome to our podcast
I am Eime
I am Reiya
We are fans of basketball and we’d like to tell you something about the NBA.
1:Riko - What is the most famous basketball tournament in the world?
The tournament was created in 1939 by the National Association of Basketball.
2:Koki- Please tell me more about the NBA. What is it? When did it start? How many teams are there?
National Basketball Association
NBA is the largest and most elite basketball league in the world. It is a palace for people who love basketball.
It was started in 1946, at first it only had 11 teams but now, NBA has 30 teams and they are divided into the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference.
Every season every team has 82 matches for regular season and each conference selects 8 of the best teams for the playoffs. Semifinals determine the best team in each conference and only one team could get the Final Championship Rings.
3:Sawa - Which do you like better, playing or watching? Why?
Watching. Watching basketball is more exciting than playing it. We are not good players in basketball but we can enjoy the time when we watch the NBA match.
4:Hikaru- Who is the most famous basketball player? Why do you think he is the most famous?
Michael Jordan. He won six championships and got 5 MVPs, watching his game is more like watching his own personal show. He promoted basketball to the world. He is not only a player but a flag for basketball. Many people don’t watch basketball but they know Michael Jordan is the best basketball player, he was not only a legend in his golden time but still a legend in the present and the future.
5:Emily- Who are the 2 current greatest players in the world? Who are the 2 greatest players of all time? (G.O.A.T.) https://nbamath.com/progressive-goat-rankings/
LeBron James because he has been at his highest peak from the beginning to the present,
Stephen Curry He is really good at shooting 3-pointers, and he changed the pace of the NBA game.
----
Michael Jordan He is the best player in NBA history.
Chris Paul He is the best PG I think.
6:Shiori- Who is the tallest basketball player ever? Tell me about his career.
229cm Gheorghe Muresan. He played from 1991 to 2006.
7:Taisei- Which position do you like? Why?
SG(Shooting Guard)
My favorite player is Stephen Curry who is playing SG. This position handles the ball and attacks more excitingly It is a pleasure to watch them play, both their skills and their versatile attacks represent the highest level in the world.
8:Kevin - Who do you think is going to win the NBA championship this season and why?
The Lakers! Lebron is still one of the most dominant players, and this season the Lakers have got very good inside players like Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard. Even though they are still settling in, I think the Lakers can go far.
I think the Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo(Greek Freak) won MVP last year. He has long arms so he can get any rebound (and he can dunk from the free throw line). Also he moves quickly and he is tall. He is a versatile player.
9:Nagi - Do you think Rui Hachimura is a good player? Will he be an All-Star someday? Why / why not?
We watched his video and his physical position is very good and I think after giving this rookie some years, he could be a good player. But he has to work harder to stand out. Too many players need a big chance to show themselves.
