If you're looking for a way to make your bank checks more appealing and you love basketball, then there is no better way to show your enthusiasm for your favorite sport than to carry basketball-themed personal checks.

Only a few sports, basketball included, have the honor of being invented by a North American. The first game was played inside the gymnasium at a YMCA training gym in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1892. Since then, basketball has persisted in being one of the most popular sports. It's a good sport not only because it is stimulating, energizing, and just plain enjoyable to watch and play, but can be enjoyed year round since it is played indoors.

College basketball is of the most popular sports to watch. Legions of fans tune in every year to watch the NCAA championships. The first college basketball game was played in 1895. Dr. James Naismith was instrumental in bringing basketball to the university level and two of his prodigies, Adolph Rupp and Amos Alonzo Stagg, started basketball programs at the University of Kentucky and the University of Kansas-two teams that are still going strong today.

If you just love the game itself, you might be interested in the standard basketball checks. This check series features 4 rotating images of playing the game. It doesn't matter what team you play for or cheer for, these checks are for everyone. The four images include a close up of a group of basketballs, the back of a referee, a ball rolling on the gym floor, and a ball that just made it into the net.

If you have a favorite NBA team, you can also purchase checks to support your team as well. All 30 NBA teams are represented with these checks. Whether you support the Miami Heat, the New York Knicks, the LA Lakers, the Houston Rockets, or the Chicago Bulls, you can easily show your pride in your team every time you take out your checkbook. Matching checkbook covers are also available. The checkbook covers are actually great because they have the look and feel of a real basketball.

There's something for the women in basketball as well. Checks that feature women playing basketball can be found in the "Women in Sports" series. These checks show a stunning image of women on the court. Matching contact cards, address labels, and a matching checkbook cover can be bought with these checks, too.

You don't have to worry about your bank checks being expensive anymore, either. While in the past it was time consuming and expensive to go to the bank, pick out a design from a limited supply, and then wait nearly 2 weeks to receive your checks, you can now forgo all of that and order them online.

Through purchasing your checks from a safe company, you can save as much as 50% off the price that you would have normally paid at your local bank. You will also have a diversity of images to choose from, including the basketball checks that you desire.

You can count on receiving your checks in the mail in about 5 days once you purchase them on line.
