==Global Phenomenon==
Although early in its history basketball had already spread globally, with the Olympics adopting basketball by 1936, the modern era's popularity is attributed to both tv and players. Stars such as Michael Jordan were at times more popular than national heroes in foreign countries. Slow motion replay, no doubt, helped those world wide watch how Michael Jordan would effortlessly glide or slam dunk in a seemingly impossible move.
