Sports have always been important and part of the world. I don’t think their will be a day when we have no more sports. We have everything from Football, Baseball, Hockey, Basketball and everything in between. During the 1990’s was a big year for sports but even a bigger year for Basketball.
During the 90’s the Chicago Bulls had a lot of wins and went to the championships time after time because of a legendary player, who was Michael Jordan. Although Jordan retired in 1993, he led his team to six championship titles.. Jordan was one of the greatest players at the young age of 30. He won seven straight NBA scoring titles, three straight league MVP awards, and two Olympic gold medals. Jordan left NBA to try and pursue Baseball but came back to the NBA in 1995. In 1996 Jordan received two million votes for the All-Star game. Although in 1998 when Jordan retired for good, his legacy still lives on with the Chicago Bulls.
Another athlete that came about the 90’s was the one and only Tiger Woods. In 1997 at the age of 21 Tiger Woods won the U.S. Masters tournament. He was one of the greatest players at such a young age. Woods broke the all-time scoring record and won by the largest number of strokes. In 1999, Woods won eleven worldwide championships. Woods was named male athlete of the year by the Associated Press in 1997 and 1999. Since the 90’s when Wood’s career hit full force he’s been one of the greatest golf players to play the game.
Basketball and Golf were not the only sports that had some amazing things happen in the 90's. During the 90's big things happened in Baseball for the New York Yankees. In 1996 the New York Yankees won the World Series against the Atlanta Braves. Two Years later the Yankees would win another World Series. In 1998 the Yankees won another World Series over the San Diego Padres.
