Without basketball simple things like having something to do during the winter season would not happen. Not only that but basketball has created many athletes like Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. These two men are not only athletes but were and still are great role models for thousands of kids and adults everywhere. The industry of basketball has made billions of dollars for other industries like sports drinks(gatorade) and the shoe industry.
