Answer
Hi Hala,

There are many heros and heroines, both professionally and in college. I think Michael Jordan was important, because he set the bar so high in professional Basketball. The same with Magic Johnson, Jerry West, etc. Too hard to single out one player. And everyone has their own heroes for their own reasons. As far as the difference between girls and guys basketball, there are minor differences in rules, but the game is played almost identically.
