I'm a huge fan of basketball! My favorite team is the Miami Heat. Are you also a fan?
Not a huge fan but I have been learning about it. Hard to believe James Naismith invented the game way back in 1891.
Wow! I didn't know it was that long ago! How many professional basketball teams are there? 
There are 30 teams right now. I watched a game recently the was tied at the end which brought it into overtime. Very exciting.
Oh that is exciting! What else have you learned about the history of basketball?
The three point line in Basketball was not invented until 1979 which is Magic Johnson and Larry Birds rookie year.
I learned something today! I thought the three point line has always been a part of the game! Larry Bird was really something, one of the best that ever played. Do you agree?
From what I have seen he is up there. I play a little pick up basketball but we play two-on-two or three-on-three.
