...way to have a good time is if you are either drunk or almost drunk. My little cousins enjoy running around outside until the soles of their shoes have fallen off. However, none of those activities are what I enjoy doing. The activity I enjoy is playing basketball. One reason I enjoy playing basketball is because it kept me out of trouble. Another reason I enjoy playing basketball because it’s a family game. Playing basketball is something I have always enjoyed doing very since I was a little girl. I have played basketball for church organizations, school, and, the most common place, the park. Basketball plays a major role in my life. It’s more than just a game to me. It’s a lifestyle. Basketball is my everything. I really don’t know who I would be if I was never introduced to the game of basketball. Basketball kept me on the right path of life. I stayed out of trouble because I stayed in the gym. I always thought when I was a little girl that I would grow up and be just like Lisa Leslie because she is not only a good basketball player but also a good person. She played the game with heart and she gave back to the community. Basketball was my escape from troubled life. I was never a good kid but when I started playing basketball I stayed out of trouble because I didn’t have time to create problems....

...So I decided for the first time to try out for the high school basketball team, though, I never played the sport before except for watching it on TV. I still wanted to experience it. All begin, when I first became a freshman high school, for all my friends were talking and encouraging me to try for any sport. My closest friend Josh, and I was always workout buddies, yet one day we decided to try new suggestions, so we started playing the game of basketball. We could not figure out how to shoot or dribble a basketball, so we started watching tutorial videos of basketball online, also begin asking formal basketball player’s questions about the rules of basketball. We knew basketball was going to be a challenge without proper trained. Furthermore, team’s...

Many things have changed over the course of this time and dividing three things to put in a time capsule for future generations is hard to do. In my opinion, the things I would divide for the time capsule is the game Nba 2k11, Apple earphones, and the jersey of LeBron James. The first thing I chose to store for the future is the basketball game Nba 2k11. Basketball games have remained one of the most popular games on the globe for many years. It’s production has gravely improved from game to game; however, one game remains the cornerstone in basketball game history as it was quite revolutionary....

...dominates the high-level basketball tournament in the world and its National Basketball Association (NBA) is a grand stage that collects the most competitive, skilled and professional basketball players from all over the world. Almost every basketball player has set his dream of being a player in the NBA since he started playing basketball. Obviously, getting into the NBA is difficult but it will be more difficult later, because every basketball player in NBA is approximately the best in their habitations such as schools, towns, cities, or countries. They went through numbers of eliminations, and finally defeated their competitors to join the NBA. As an old saying goes “survival of the fittest.” A successful NBA player has to do his best in every game in order to stand out from other players who are as strong as he does or even stronger, and then success is near at hand. Yao Ming is a retired Chinese professional basketball player who last played for the Houston Rockets of the NBA. Although a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do it justice, as a phenomenal basketball player with a unique combination of fundamental diligence, optimism, agility, and an unquenchable competitive determination, Yao redefined the successful international NBA superstar. As the contemporary adversary of Yao, also the legendary NBA player- Shaquille O’Neal said Yao “could have been up there in the top five centers to ever play the game.” Also, the current...

The object of the game is to shoot a round ball into a circular basket. Basketball can be played in an organized manner or at a park or local gym for recreational purposes. Over the past 100 years the game of basketball has grown from a peach basket to highlight slam dunks. As time has passed by, the rules and the way the game is played has changed. New rules were implemented to make the game more enjoyable and create more of a competitive balance for all those who play. Players were given titles for the position they played like for example, the tallest player on the team was called the center. While the shortest player on the team or the person who dribbled the ball the best was called the point guard. The history of basketball has correlated with the history of the US during the 20th century. As the game and the country began to evolve, the game of basketball became the 2nd most played sport in the world behind soccer. Some of the major events in American history in the 20th century such as Brown vs. Board of Education impacted the growth and development of basketball in the beginning.

...Before Success The gym was packed with five to six hundred people screaming as they prepared to watch the two basketball squads battle it out. Both teams had some to do one thing and one thing only and that was to win. My heart was pounding so hard, I thought I would explode since this was my first high school basketball game. I tried to breath deep and relax but the atmosphere was not a conducive one for calmness. Little did I know that this game would prove as a perfect example of an old quote that goes "In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail." During my freshman year of high school, my basketball team, the Park Vista Cobras, was on the team bus. As we braced ourselves for the mission that lied ahead, we did what was common for any group of boys that were bored: playing games, joking, and taunting each other. We arrived at our destination after a one hour journey the gym of our rival school, the Palm Beach Gardens Gators, was an immense and stunning structure. Upon entering we realized that the interior was even more respectable. We unloaded our equipment off the team bus and proceeded our way to the visiting team’s locker rooms. Our coach, Mr. Williams, gave us a brief summary of our opponents for that night. Afterwards we started our warm-ups and as tip-off neared, we had a short prayer that helped to lift all our spirits. The game was finally underway. The first half went by speedily. There was plenty of battering and rigid play, but neither...

...sport can be a wonderful, yet nerve wrecking experience for any high school athlete that wishes to compete at the next level. For most athletes, the process is normal, following the rules to a “T”, but for other, more sought after athletes many coaches are willing to do anything and everything to get that player to come to their school and into their program. This even includes violating the NCAA recruiting rules and policies. While it is true that many of these violations go unpunished or even unnoticed by the NCAA, the truth is that recruiting violations are becoming more and more predominant in recent years thanks in part to social networks and other forms of communication. Most violations are on the men’s side of athletics, mainly in basketball and football. This does not mean that there is a lack of violations on the women’s side though. Violations have begun to occur more regularly in women’s athletics in recent years. Due to the recent frequency of recruiting scandals being brought to public attention thanks in part to media, NCAA recruiting violation scandals are the topic of conversation for many households, especially those who have young athletes who are wanting to be recruited by their favorite schools. NCAA Definition of “Recruiting” and Their Position The NCAA defines “recruiting” as “any solicitation of prospective student-athletes or their parents by an institutional staff member or by a representative of the institution’s athletics interests for the purpose...

...Kyndon Boatman How does a basketball’s bounce change due to surface Research Summary Will the surface affect a bouncing ball- When a ball bounces it uses kinetic and potential. When it is in your hand it is potential when it hits the ground it is kinetic. On average there are 15 dribbles in 1 trip down the court,so dribbling is an important part of the game. If you drop a ball from a set distance and it is regulation air pressure on a gym wood surface it will bounce back up ⅔ of the height you dropped it. When a basketball hits the ground (and as it flies through the air), it actually transforms some of its energy to another form. If players do not put enough energy back into the ball, they will not be able to dribble it effectively. Some...

...1. American Sport Movies There are few countries in the world in which sports permeate national life to the degree that it does in the United States. Sports are a big part of the fabric of American life. The centrality of sports in American life is amply reflected in the American cinema. For decades movie makers have successfully mined sports to produce some of the most inspiring, poignant, exciting and memorable American movies ever made. The genre of ‘Sport Movies’ established in the Fifties and the Sixties. At the very beginning it was hard to see it as an independent genre because there was a lot of mixture. There have been propaganda movies as well as comedies, dramas, gangster movies or even westerns combined with some sport scenes. So the movie industry defined three categories of sport movies. Category 1: movies in which the main part of the narration is about sport or an athlete Category 2: movies which tell the life story of an athlete Category 3: movies which use sport scenes to describe a special milieu In addition to that there are a lot of movies of another genre which use sport scenes to dramatise the story or to create a good suspense. The first sport movies were all about the so called American Myth of victory and glory. Fair competitions and the better athletes defeating the weaken. The fascination of sport inspiring the people was used to lure the public. Then in the eighties and nineties there have been made a lot of biographical movies...
