National Basketball Association. The major league of professional basketball in North America. 80% African-American. The NBA has been losing popularity ever since Michael Jordan's second retirement. Reasons for this include lack of parity, a retired player (Jordan) still being the face of the league, and stupid fans who think defense is boring to watch.
The NBA needs to replace Michael Jordan with an active player as their frontman, pronto. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, and Yao Ming combined do not have the drawing power of Jordan.

Rich suburb of the Twin Cities and the most-taxed district in Minnesota. Though Edina is much maligned for being stuck-up rich white kids (and rightly so), Plymouth actually has a higher median income. ($66,000 a year in Edina against $77,000 in Plymouth.)

Professional tennis player.
6'0" 160
Born 4/19/1987, Nyagan, USSR (now Russian Federation)
Hometown: Bradenton, FL
College: none Turned pro: 2001
A rising star in tennis, she won Wimbledon in 2004 in only her third season of professional competition. Already one of the elite in her sport, she's only going to get better. Known for grunting loudly during matches.
She is frequently compared to Anna Kournikova, another gorgeous Russian whose career ended just before Maria won Wimbledon. However, Maria has already won at a higher level than Anna ever did. In fact, Kournikova struggled to win at all, forcing her retirement at age 23.
Other Russian players have been critical of Maria's stateside residence, saying she's not really Russian.

Sharapova will be the best ever if she plays long enough.
Anna Kournikova sucks at tennis. She should stick to modeling. Maria Sharapova can do both.
Morten Andersen has lived in the United States since 1977 but there's no question he's Danish.

6'2" 225
Born 8/19/1960, Copenhagen, Denmark
Hometown: Indianapolis, IN
College: Michigan State Turned pro: 1982
The best kicker of all time. Andersen came the the U.S. in 1977 as a foreign exchange student and planned to stay ten months. He played football at Ben Davis HS in Indianapolis because they didn't have a soccer team. He has played more pro games than George Blanda and is closing in on Gary Anderson's scoring record.
