Raptors Land Basketball Star Rudy Gay In Blockbuster Trade
On Wednesday, the general manager of the Toronto Raptors basketball team took care of some unfinished business.
Bryan Colangelo made a huge trade, to get superstar player Rudy Gay.
It all started back in 2006. At that time, Colangelo held the “number-one overall draft pick.” That meant he could choose any eligible player and add them to his team.
He travelled around the world, looking for the perfect person to add to the Raptors.

Who is Jeremy Lin?
On Feb. 4, The New York Knicks basketball team played the New Jersey Nets at Madison Square Gardens in New York City.
The Nets played hard, but they simply couldn’t beat this Knicks team. There was something special about them… and that was Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin turned heads during that game by scoring 25 points and adding seven assists.
Good numbers for any player, but especially for an undrafted player with only a handful of games under his belt.
But this where the story really gets good.
The Giants Take The 2012 Super Bowl
Yesterday, The New York Giants and the New England Patriots faced off in the year’s most important football game — the Super Bowl.
The game was played in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The two teams had faced each other at the Super Bowl before, four years ago. And just like the game back in 2008, the Giants won.
The final score this year was New York Giants 21, New England Patriots 17.
It was a terrific contest between two great football teams, two fantastic coaches, and it was also a rematch between two great quarterbacks.
