Cleveland Cavaliers Argumentative Essay

As it stands today, Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player to have ever played the game. Some argue that Michael Jordan was better, but he was not. Some argue that Lebron James is better, but he is not. To compare him to the men who played the center position is a waste of time. Obviously Shaquille O’Neal, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar were more dominant. They were freaks of nature. What Kobe had that set him apart from everyone else was a skill set and mentality that is unmatched. Kobe is the best player first and foremost because he was a Los Angeles Laker for twenty years. Some may say that my bias towards Kobe as a Laker fan discredits my argument, but it does not.

Indeed, who would have predicted ten years ago? That women's basketball so wildly popular? Well, people who have watched the growth of women's basketball in southern states. The enormous campus arenas at the state universities in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia filled to capacity for home games. The coach for Tennessee's Lady Vols, Pat Summitt. She has achieved nearly godlike stature in that state. A tall, striking figure on- and off-court. Summitt commands respect. Wherever she goes. My youngest sister, Ruth Ann, who lives in Tennessee. She says you can't near Pat Summitt after a game. "You'd think she a rock star," she says. Although Geno Auriemma, Coach of the UConn women's team. Not yet enjoying that kind of support. He rapidly becoming

It’s shaping up to be a trying year for the NCAA as two former athletes have come forward in the past week and filed a class action lawsuit against them for “academic fraud in its members schools’ athletic programs.” While some think this couldn’t get worse, from the numerous unacknowledged complaints from over the last century, a large number of the student athletes on the receiving end of less than stellar educations were African-American student athletes—especially in revenue-producing sports like basketball and football.

Every Sunday during football season, there is one place I will always be, no matter what. As I drive down Lake Cook Road, I feel a sudden excitement. Sundays are my favorite day of the week because I get to not only spend time with my grandparents, but also watch our favorite Chicago sports team play for three hours. I have watched every single Bears game with my grandparents since I was eight. We have been through it all, from Rex Grossman as our quarterback to Marc Trestman as our head coach. However, recently, I have noticed something about our conversations during the games. We always debate whether the Bears should keep Jay Cutler next season. He has always proven to be turnover-prone, but has been clutch throughout the season. The Chicago Bears should keep Jay Cutler next season because he has proven to be one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL.

In a historic night for the city of Cleveland, cheers for the Tribe could be heard from Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cleveland Cavaliers received their 2016 NBA Championship rings and explosively opened their season against the New York Knicks. If the Cavs’ success is any indication of what’s to come, I think Cleveland might actually explode.

White athletes seem to play the most mentally demanding parts of the game. They are usually the starting quarterback, center, and kicker/punter. All three positions demand unique skills and physical stature. While cornerbacks, wide receivers, and running backs are pre-dominantly black positions and require much more physical demanding qualities like; speed, jumping, and strength. This doesn’t mean that Christian Mccaffrey, a white 6’1, 201 pound running back, can’t dominate college football. Same goes for Deshaun Watson, a black 6’2, 205 pound quarter back who piloted his team all the way to the College Football playoffs. The NCAA is committing a financial injustice, also a racial one, because they won’t pay black athletes.

After Sam Hinkie and the 76ers acquired a center with a top lottery pick in the NBA draft for the third time in as many years on Thursday, the timer went off on the basketball community's oven, as the hot takes were finally cooked and ready to be served. The can of competitiveness had been kicked down Broad Street once again, relegating the Sixers to another year of irrelevancy.

America is losing its history. Soon there will be no baseball and no fields and players. There is a debate over this topic because people think baseball has lost its cool and people want to show how it has. This debate has been going on for a long time, people are always trying to argue over it. People usually argue over it when they go to parties for example, people were saying that baseball isn't that cool and the other person saying it was when watching a World Series baseball game.

An argument can be made that because of these restrictions and a desire to keep things “pure”, meaning do not allow the allure of incentives like money or gifts to influence decisions by prospective student-athletes and their parents, this has created a black market for the type of corrupt behavior exhibited by students, their parents, coaches, school officials, advisors, and corporations. This prohibition has forced what could be seen as just compensation for the athletics performed or finder’s fees by representatives of school athletic programs to be viewed in a negative light.

While it is currently unknown whether there will be NFL in 2011, the massive NFL roster is going to need to accommodate the six months of downtime with other activities.
