Have you ever heard this saying, “Learning is a plant, the more sun, and knowledge, the more you grow”? What it's saying is the more you learn, the more you grow, like a plant. The thing is, I believe that everybody has room to grow as a person, and in what they know. The way I learned this myself is when I first started basketball when I played my first basketball game, and when I failed my very first math test in 7th grade.

The Hack-A-Shaq is a basketball strategy used in the NBA, which is now drawing attention. Players that can not shoot free throws are struggling from this problem. Since certain players can not shoot free throws, the opponent decides to foul the bad free throw shooter on purpose hoping that they will miss at least one shot and then get the ball back. Now there are many problems that come with the issue. The players that can’t shoot get jumped on all the time. To show the referee, the opponent jumps on top of the poor free throw shooter. They could get hurt and players want that to change. Also, the pace of the games become really slow when the strategy is being used. It gets boring for the viewers to watch the same guy miss more free throws. The strategy has been used for a

The NBA should definitely ban the hack-a-strategy which is where you purposely foul a bad free throw shooter to try to win the game also known as hack-a-shaq or hack-a-dwight.

Abstract:  Basketball players who enter the NBA early are not ready for the NBA. Early entry into the NBA by high school and college basketball players has had a negative affect on the college basketball program, the NBA, and the players themselves. Each year the number of early entries in the NBA rises more and more. In 1997, 47 basketball players entered the NBA draft early, and the number has risen since then. The college basketball program is drained of talent due to players leaving early. The high school players that go directly into the NBA are hurting the college program because they never contribute to the college program at all. The NBA now has to deal with a higher level of immaturity and disrespect by young players.

For anyone who watched the men's tennis final at the Australian Open (January 29, 2012), there is no doubt that Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are extraordinary athletes with stamina and skills that are amazing. The match went 5 hours and 53 seconds and both men were drained physically and emotionally at the end when Djokovic emerged victorious. But is tennis the most difficult sport? The answer is probably not. Some would say boxing or football should be considered the most difficult sports. And when it comes to baseball is hitting a pitched ball with a wooden stick the most difficult? The argument is ongoing about that.

If fear changes your behaviour or action, you are already defeated correlates with the idea that sports are not the same if intentional fouls are acceptable. An intentional foul is when a player seeking to gain advantage or interfering with play by purposely using excessive force against an opponent (Kew, 1997, p. 65). Furthermore, players that uses intentional fouls, used it in order to get closer to winning, which can be out of the fear of losing.

I grew up with five brothers, naturally there was a heated competitive nature in my household over anything and everything. Notably when the competition at hand was the sport of basketball. Growing up basketball was more than a game, it was a way of life. My brothers and I analyzed every aspect of basketball, we were students of the game. I recall the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, there was this undersized point guard playing for Davidson College by the name of Stephen Curry. This kid took the basketball world by storm, he became an overnight sensation. He led the Davidson College Wildcats all the way to the National Quarterfinals, an oddity for Davidson’s basketball program. Despite losing to Kansas in the National Quarterfinals, he increased his draft stock from possibly undrafted to a first round talent over the course of a few weeks. Additionally, in the 2009 NBA Draft Stephen Curry was selected 7th overall, and from that point on he has changed the game of basketball like never before. Steph Curry or the “Babyface Assassin” changed the game by his upbringing, style of play, and his portrayal.

The National Basketball Association has been around for decades and decades. David Stern is the commissioner of this association and has done a good job thus far, but the NBA regulations are increasingly restricting player freedom, both on and off the court and quite frankly the players are sick and tired of being treated this way. The NBA used to be a business of competitive athletes and coaches ' competing for the national title in June, now it seems the NBA is to excite the fans and keep the media happy with its outrageous stories.

When I open the doors of the gym I am met with the familiar sound of squeaking shoes and balls bouncing on the hardwood floors. I go to sit on the aged wooden bleachers and watch the game that is currently taking place. The weight my worries are being lifted a little as I get wrapped up in the game. The guard is bringing the ball up the court his eyes scanning for an opening to either pass or shoot the ball. The opposing team has every man covered leaving little to no room for the guard and his teammates to set up the play. As soon as the guard sets foot pass half court two defenders go to trap him. Wrong move. The guard quickly, almost effortlessly sidesteps one of the defenders and dribbles the ball through the leg of the other and proceeds to pass the ball to one of his teammates who take the ball straight to the rim. I can’t help but smile at this perfectly executed play as the game continues. There are several more plays like this made on both sides but, they all seem to dull in comparison with the first one.
