The Lakers and Celtics are making this an NBA Finals to be remembered, with it currently tied up at two games each.
But the other story rivalling this at the moment is the upcoming NBA free agent sweepstakes, starting 1 July 2010, when an incredible group of free agents including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire will become available to other teams.

Thato Mabudusha is currently studying at Pretoria High School for Girls where she is the Head Girl for 2009. Her interest in basketball goes a long way back and her passion for the game is still as strong as ever.
While holidaying in the Midwest city of Racine, Wisconsin; where I did my primary school from 2000 to 2003, I went to watch a few high school games while visiting old friends. Racine is a small city about an hour and a half away from Chicago and is located on the shore of Lake Michigan.
I was there for 3 weeks during the december 2008 holidays and watched basketball games at different schools, both private and public, and although the private schools have larger and more aesthetically pleasing gymnasiums (or fieldhouses as they are more commonly known), all schools have one thing in common: multiple indoor courts and usually no outdoor courts. This is because basketball is a winter sport and seeing as it snows throughout winter in Racine, basketball is always played indoors. The number of courts available in the indoor gymnasium range from one to six (at the larger schools).
