Julius Erving when the Nba excepted this showed that the nba could except a different type of basketball. when this happen this is when alot of players came in this was the emerge of the aba to the nba. The merge of the aba to the nba bought a new brand of exciting basketball the biggest accomplishment was when julius erving won his first nba championship. The aba was what carved the nba exciting brand of basketball to this day and julius erving was elected to to 50 greatest players of all time also the nba hall of fame and retired with 2 championships.

digital narrative #2
Did you ever wonder what happen to out enviorment cause i know i did. Do you even know what global warming is. Global warming is the biggest natural disaster. What happens with global warming is the ice caps maps and what happens with the ice caps is that the water starts to over flow and cause high tides and waves all over the world. The ice caps also shift when the ice caps the shift the contiinent start to move from their coordinates. My dream is to end global warming and stop it from destroying our enviorment.A way that i can stop global warming is by taking care of the enviorment and going green. Going green is when you use less energy to do certain things.An example of going green is walking instead of driving or using a bicycle. These ways of transportation are better because we aren't using gas.The reason why we shouldn't use gas is because of how it can effect the atmosphere, how the gas in the atmosphere effects global warming is by gas polluting the atmosphere and this is how the ice caps start to melt. Another way of global warming through gas is how the gas can go to the ozone layer and fog up where the sun comes through and block of the suns rays that come to the earth when this happens this can freeze the world and send us back into an ice age. These situations really concern me because these are issues that the whole human society is facing. This is why my dream is to stop global warming in New York City.
