“Buffalo joined the NBA in 1970 in an expansion that also welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers and Cleveland Cavaliers to the league. But the welcome wasn't exactly a warm one in Buffalo, where the
This was the first of several match-ups between the two teams. The Celtics beat the Lakers in a tight competition—four games to three—for the 1984 championship. The Lakers, however, took down the Celtics the following year in the finals. Johnson was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002.
The San Antonio Spurs The San Antonio Spurs were founded in 1967 by Irving Allen Mathews. They were originally named the Dallas Chaparrals, then the Texas Chaparrals, which both played in the ABA, but then were changed to the San Antonio Spurs in 1973 and joined the NBA in 1976. Now the Spurs are one of of the best, if not the best, basketball franchises ever. I think that they are the best because of their consistency of winning.
This historic franchise began in 1947 as the Minneapolis Lakers where they played for 13 years as part of the National Basketball League (Los Angeles Lakers). Their name came from playing in Minneapolis due to the large number of cargo ships that traversed the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota (Los Angeles Lakers). It was not until 1960 that they made their move out west to form the famous Los Angeles Lakers. It was in L.A. where the Lakers cemented themselves as one of sports’ greatest teams, winning 16 championships, their last one being in 2010. Their 16 championship rings are the second most in basketball next to the Boston Celtics who have 17.
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryan are amazing basketball players, but Michael Jordan is better. First of all, Michael Jordan won more championships than Kobe Bryan, Michael won about 8 or 6 times, and Kobe Bryan only won 1 or 2. Another way Michael Jordan is better than Kobe Bryan is because of jump height,Michael can jump around 50 feet while Kobe jumps the same as an average basketball player. Michael Jordan is better than Kobe Bryan in many ways, though Kobe can score more points in 1 game, Michael still has done many great things that makes him better. Some people know how many times Michael Jordan won a championship, the reason how he managed to do this is his speed and his jump height, because of this he can easily avoid others ans score

Earl Lloyd and others Pioneering and integrating the NBA Before October 31, 1950. The 5 year old, newly formed, National basketball Association was only filled with the white race. Shocking the world, Earl Lloyd and two others (Chuck Cooper and Nat Clifton) signed contracts to the National Basketball Association. Pioneering and fighting racial segregation, these individuals change the NBA forever. Now the NBA is filled with 74.4 percent of African Americans.
Walter Brown's legacy extends far beyond his tenure with the Boston Celtics; he is revered as a pioneer in professional sports. As the founder of both the NBA and NHL, Brown played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of American sports. In 1946, he established the Basketball Association of America (BAA), which later merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA. Brown's vision and leadership also led to the creation of the NBA's inaugural teams, including the Toronto Huskies and the New York Knickerbockers. His foresight and entrepreneurial spirit laid the groundwork for the growth and success of professional basketball, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to shape the sports industry today.
Non of them, it was Michael "Air" Jordan. That kicked off his championship spree as he went on to collect five more with NBA's Chicago Bulls. To add to all the championships and people who say he's the best basketball player ever, Jordan has added many MVP trophies to his repertoire. He has won more MVP trophies than Larry Bird, Magic Johnson or even Isaiah Thomas and that is to name a few. Some say the voters are biased to him because for his past accomplishments but you cant argue with all the championships records.

Colton Yates English 101-051 Mrs. Parr 16 September 2015 Michael Jordan versus Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have been compared to each other more than any other players in the NBA. On and off of the court the two are almost identical. Kobe Bryant is seen as a clone of Michael. The older Kobe gets the more his personality adapts to being more of a Michael Jordan. One of the few differences of the two is their stats, but their personalities along with their highlight reels look identical.
1. What was “the biological old regime” and how did it arise from the intention of agricultural? The biological old regime was a period in Europe that lasted until the middle of the nineteenth century. During the biological old regime, the death rates were high and the birth rates were low.
Kobe Bryant was able to win 5 and Michael Jordan won 6. This puts MJ ahead in the winning category because championships are what you strive for especially since MJ played for less years. Most players would be satisfied with winning one, but winning wasn’t enough for them. Their cutthroat mentality and desire to be the best escalated them to becoming two of the greatest players ever. What’s outstanding is how they both played in different generations and played almost exactly the same and both of them were not able to be stopped,
Obtaining a Superstar All NBA Finals teams have different rosters with unique players and very good players. Every NBA Finals team needs players with specific skill sets that allow them to have profound effects on the game even if they are not all around superstars. Effective rebounders, great shooters, and tough defenders are all important parts of the equation for an NBA Finals team, but every NBA Finals team must have a superstar on their team. Out of the last 15 teams to win the NBA Finals only one has won without a superstar player on their team; that team is the Detroit Pistons of 2004 and they had a very strong defensive unit led by outstanding defensive physical post play. But a superstar is essential to a team because they are
