Good morning my fellow classmates! It is my pleasure to give a speech on this stage today. I would like to bring you some knowledge on basketball and NBA, as basketball has alway been my favourite sport.

As we all know, basket ball has been one of the most popular sports in China for many years. There are many reasons for the popularity of this sport, and it is undeniable that the mass media has made a great contribution to popularize basketball.

National Basketball Association (NBA), the most important basketball association in the US was formed In 1946. The first NBA match starts in the first or second week of November, and the first round which is the regular season ends at the end of April. After the winning teams finish the semi final and the final matches, we will have our champion. Usually we can watch NBA matches on TV, the NBA commentators will explain the tactics throughout the match and meanwhile they also introduce us their basketball players. That is how we get to know the famous basketball stars. My favorite basketball player is Lin Shu Hao, how about you guys?

Now it comes to the end of my speech, I hope you all enjoy the knowledge of our best loved NBA and basketball.
