I have watched a TV program named “NBA News”. I remember when I was 5 years old, I watched it with my brother and since that time I have been watching it until now. This TV program has a lot of info about the NBA games and also behind-the-scenes. For example, the NBA games have 14 different teams. They from western and eastern of America. And they have 82 games in one season and after these games, they have play-off games. Moreover in this game, they need to compete and get the final championship. This TV programs also told us the players how they practice hard and something interesting about training. We can find some videos about some all-star players training, like Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant. This TV program allow us to know how they practice. I still remember that is the one of the worst days in my memory which was Kobe Bryant have situation. After that, the NBA News opened a new special called “The Legend of Kobe Bryant’s Life”. This special showed us how he was legendary. We know Kobe has a famous quote which is “Have you seen LA at 4am in the morning?” and he trained at 4am and to be stronger than before. At that night, he got 81 points in that game with Phoenix Sun team. I think this TV program stayed with me in my whole life when I was a kid and I will continue watch it in the future because I love it. I hope NBA News open some new parts and let more people to know what is NBA.
