Long before the Klingon Empire, the Federation, or any of the other political entities commonly known today, there was a dynasty established in the tiny Old Earth farming town of Sacramento. Centuries later, that dynasty is being honored.
Two meter tall human athlete Tyreke Evans was announced today as the winner of the 2009-2010 National Basketball Association Rookie of the Year Award.
Basketball, a prominent 20th-21st century sport involving the bouncing of a spherical shaped air bladder, received an enormous popularity boost in the Sacramento Region with the arrvial of Evans as a mere 20 year old (Earth standard). Within a few short Earth years, Sacramento had conquered the National Basketball Association -- a regional sporting association containing the bulk of Old Earth's best air bladder bouncers .
Historians who have examined the digital archival evidence point to Evans as perhaps the premiere basketball athlete of his generation, and one of the best before the sport became dominated by Trilarians in the early 22nd century. They point especially to his ability to "drive" the ball to the basket, despite only having two arms and two legs and living in the pre-cybernetic age.
