As soon as Magic Johnson announced he had HIV, he immediately was a role model for others to get tested and have hope of living a long and fulfilling life. In 2011, Magic Johnson talked about living with AIDS/HIV for 20 years, and how this disease is not a death sentence. He encourages others to get educated and get tested. However, when Johnson first found out he had the AIDS/HIV virus, his concern was not how did he get the disease or what is going to happen or how will he afford the medical expenses, but rather, “How am I going to live a long time?” (Moughty).

For example, I am a huge WWE fan my parents and I enjoy going to a WWE event at least once a year at First Niagara Center. Usually we paid about $15-25 dollars a ticket which I think is reasonable, and then when we go to the event we spend money on food, and merchandise. I think with the ticket prices being low it allows more people to attend, and spend money on other

The Malice at the Palace was the brawl that changed the NBA forever but the effect that it had on the Indiana Pacers and their community was a little more direct. The Indiana Pacers were on the verge to possibly winning or at least competing for multiple NBA championships but all that came to a halt because of the brawl in Detroit (Newell, 2014). The brawl forced the NBA to suspend the three top players on the Pacers team one of them for the whole year, which caused the team to not have the success that they should have (Newell, 2014). After the brawl the team never was the same and the players involved where looked at as thugs and the community and the rest if the NBA looked down on them which pretty much forced the organization to break up the team (Newell, 2014). Ron Artest inability to get along with his teammates forced him to demand a trade which he was granted and then came the trades of Jermaine O’Neal and Stephen Jackson which symbolized the end of the young talented team that was expected to bring the city its first ever NBA championship and forced the team into several losing seasons (Newell, 2014).

The National Basketball Association (NBA) was founded on June 6, 1949 in New York City and has exploded today to become one of the most popular professional sports leagues in the world, next to the National Football League(NFL). There are a total of 30 teams in the NBA, each worth about $1.25 billion, making the whole league worth about $37.5 billion. The mastermind behind the NBA’s huge profits are the white collared team owners who watch over the respected team franchises for years. In the past, NBA team owners have been caught up in scandals that have created stereotypes and misconseptions among fans that paint the owners as money hungry individuals who give no respect for their blue collared players in the league.

Due to the high costs the goal of breaking even is a large task. At current product prices a profit of $53,676 can be expected. This is total by 21,582 who will at least attend one game. Next we can assume that amongst that population of 21582 54% would be interested in going to one game, 28% interested in at least 5, 13% would be interested in half season and 5% in full. Of the 54% who will attend one game 80% would pay $10.

Everyone will form their own opinion when it comes to the ground-breaking decision to fire David Blatt as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It wasn't necessarily a terrible decision by any means, but it was quite odd. To fire a head coach, who had coached a team to a 30-11 record and had them on top of the conference almost sounds comical. But, something needed to change, and unfortunately GM David Griffin decided to start with Blatt.

The Cleveland Cavaliers is in the works of improving and upgrading its roster this upcoming NBA season.

The 76ers compete internally on analytics in three different facets with financial, research and development, and human resources analytics. Sam Hinkie sees value in measuring everything by constructing financial models and running a computerized technique used to assess the probability of certain basketball play outcomes or risks by mathematically modeling a hypothetical event over multiple trials and comparing the outcomes with predefined probability distributions.

Piedmont Airlines recently invested over $1 million in state of the art equipment and employee development in order to forecast and analyze the appropriate amount of discounted fares to offer per flight. The company discovered that by offering several discounted flights to consumers willing to book their travel well in advance of their departure date left many options available for the business traveler who needed to book much closer to the actual departure date. The analysis was the task of the Revenue Enhancement Department (RED) managed by Marilyn Hoppe. While this state of the art equipment was a step in the right direction, Marilyn believed that there were still a lot of subjective decisions being made and
