The Roots of Basketball

Steve Nash makes a perfect assist. Kobe Bryant slam-dunks. From half-court, Dwyane Wade puts up a field goal that arcs like a rainbow and finds gold. This is the NBA, and fans around the world are crazy about it. We gather around our TVs for a peek into famous American stadiums to watch our favorite teams play a Canadian's game. Er, Canadian?

籃球熱燒遍全球

籃球的起源

史提夫．奈許完美助攻。寇比．布萊恩灌籃。杜恩．韋德從中場投球，球在空中畫出彩虹般的弧度，進籃得分。這是美國職籃，全世界的球迷都為之瘋狂。我們聚在電視機前，一睹我們最愛的球隊在美國著名的體育場裡進行加拿大人的比賽。啥米，加拿大人？沒錯，帶有龐大商機的籃球運動全都得歸功於來自安大略省的詹姆斯．奈史密斯博士。
