Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from2000 to 2002.

NBA LEGEND Jordan was a star from his first season with the Bulls. He was a scoring machine. The Bulls were not one of the NBA’s better teams, but they gradually improved. They made the NBA playoffs in their first five seasons with Jordan. However, they failed to make the NBA championship finals. In 1989, Phil Jackson became the Bulls’ head coach. Under Jackson, Jordan became more of a team player, although he remained the NBA’s leading scorer.

[43] Er beendete die Saison auf Platz sechs der Weltrangliste. Als Ziel für die Saison 2003 setzte Federers Trainer Lundgren den Sprung unter die ersten vier Spieler der Weltrangliste an.[44] Zudem gab Federer weiterhin als erklärtes Ziel den Sieg bei einem Grand-Slam-Turnier aus.[45] Bei der ersten Chance darauf verlor er im Achtelfinale der Australian Open gegen David Nalbandian. Nach fünf Sätzen war er dem Argentinier unterlegen. In den nächsten Monaten erreichte Federer vier Finals auf der Tour und konnte in Marseille, Dubai und München seine ersten Saisontitel gewinnen. In Rom konnte er allerdings auch die Chance auf einen zweiten Masters-Series-Titel nicht nutzen. Im Davis Cup konnte Federer fünf seiner ersten sechs Begegnungen gewinnen und erreichte damit erstmals in seiner Karriere mit der Schweiz das Halbfinale in diesem Wettbewerb. So galt der Weltranglistenfünfte vor den French Open wie im Vorjahr als einer der Turnierfavoriten

They need to go elsewhere to improve as players and the salaries are also low. People don't go to watch the league games but Estonians love to watch the national team games. The ones who don't go to the stadium watch the games on TV. The Estonian team hasn't got any medals and they haven't even reached the World Cup or Euro Cup finals but still they can sometimes compete against the big countries. Basketball is also popular. People come to watch the national team games but our league level is much better in basketball than in football so they come to watch the league too. Over 8000 people came to watch the finals last year. A former NBA star Rodman played in Finland a few games and even then there wasn't so much public. It shows the popularity of the sport among Estonians. The best player is

Estonia's most famous football player is undoubtedly Mart Poom, nicknamed the Estonian Giant, who is a popular goalkeeper for the English First Division team Sunderland FC. I personally don't have a favourite football club. When there is a game on, I just am supporting one of the playing teams. Of course, if the Estonian team is playing, I support them

Scoring is done in a soccer-type net, but, as in hurling, points can also be made for going over the top of the goal. Gaelic football is the precursor of Australian Rules football; the two sports are similar enough that Irish and Australian teams sometimes play each other with a set of compromise rules. The All-Ireland semifinals and finals, sponsored by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), are highlights of the hurling and Gaelic football seasons. Soccer, rugby, sailing, cycling, golf, and horse and greyhound racing are also favorite activities. Soccer has become a particularly popular spectator sport in the 1990s, reflecting the enthusiasm surrounding the national team's successes during the first half of the decade. Fishing, or angling, is also a common recreational activity, featuring mainly trout and salmon fishing
