Sports Case Study

He became the perfect basketball weapon, a force who can't be guarded and can be stopped only if he stops himself.We all know about his great shooting and incredible range. But what separates Curry is that he doesn't need off-the-ball movement and picks to create space for a shot. He has an amazing ability to create his own space, and he doesn't even need that much, and he can shoot from anywhere on the court, so the defense can't ease up or sit back, even from deep.The combination of not needing a lot of space and having incredible range creates a huge problem for defenses.Whoever is guarding Curry needs to respect Curry's range and

I believe that the NBA’s popularity will continue. This is my thought because you have great athlete that are being drafted each year that continue to change to level

He’ll probably be All-Star this season and many seasons to come. He can compete with any guard in the league because of his speed and athleticism mainly, but that’s not the only way. He’s had numerous injuries and has fought through each and every one of them. Derrick loves it when people say he can't do this or that, he just loves challenges, that's what pushes him. Third reason is because he doesn’t let his past injuries and the critics get to his head.

Basketball is an evolving game, so the rules of the game must evolve with it. It is important that The National Basketball Association adapt to the changing game styles, because it is your duty as the head of an organization, to give the best product possible. As the number of games plagued with intentional fouls increases, the number of fans will decrease. It is your job as the jurisdiction of the NBA, to make sure that the game does not regress, and that the fans are getting what they want. The solution to the problem of intentional fouling in the NBA is to give coaches the option of inbounding the ball instead of taking free throws.

This takes the defending post player away from the hoop and allows the offense team post player to go 1-on-1 with the defender from the free throw line area. This opens up the inside underneath for back cutters and dribble penetration from the wings and corners. The high post player can also be used as a screener for the perimeter players. This can cause a big-time mismatch when the defense decides to start switching the screens. The post player will have a smaller player on him that he can easier post up on or one of the perimeter players will have the post defender on them and should easily take them of the dribble for a bucket. This set can also be used against teams that like to full front the post player. The post player should move up to the high post area. If they are still fronted by the defender they should first seal the defender and then cut to the basket for an over the top lob pass.

The way he plays amazes me. He is like Albert Einstein in Basketball. The first game of his career as a celtics is this year. He signed with the Celtics after being a free agent. He was drafted by the Utah Jazz. I have alway watched him because the Celtics Coach Brad Stevens had coached him in college at Butler.

His career highs so far are with the Timberwolves. He played in 57 games, his field goal (2-point shots) percentage is at .421, his 3-point percentage is at .304, his free throw percentage is at .641, and he has his high in rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks also. The only record he has broke since then was his free throw percentage that changed to .900 with the Raptors. In his whole career so far he has played in 151 games, has 472 rebounds, given 77 assists, has 58 steals, has 27 blocks, and 658 points. He has only played in four seasons, so this is impressive. Although he hasn’t won any championships, he has great achievements and who knows how his future will

“We started off well, just being consistent and their mental attitude. If they mentally turn up right, you’re halfway their to winning,” said Antonelli.

Did I overlook Okafor's offensive game because I don't find that style of basketball as aesthetically pleasing as the Warriors or pre-Rajon Rondo Mavericks? Probably. Does that mean an offense centered around a post player of Okafor's caliber, the first collegiate freshman in likely two decades to score as efficiently as he did at such high volume, can't work in 2015? Hell

Obviously, the perception of the NBA in that particular era was tougher. One could argue they game is much more fast paced today than ever. Which, it doesn't take a genius to make the inference that could be a reason for the recent need for rest for so many of ours stars today.

Guys like Curry, Draymond Green and even Andre Iguodala all will steal looks away from him. Overall, the kid is phenomenal shooting the ball, but his other stats could use a bit of polishing. He should end up around the third ranked shooting guard in the league for me.

Often compared to Jason Kidd, Ball has been commended for his leadership qualities along with his maturity and court vision. He is a facilitator in the veins of a true point guard, something not very common in the league anymore. He had an impressive season averaging 14.7 pts per game, 7.6 assists, and 6.1 rebounds helping catapult UCLA to a number 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. \

“Our defense needs to step it up. We came out starting slow and then we eventually picked it up. But, if we want to become that great team, we need to play fast from the beginning to end,” Azusa Pacific head coach Jason Surrell said.

Nowadays point guards have transitioned more into a prominent scoring role within their offense. It’s nothing for Chris Paul to score 25 or 30 points in a game, don’t even get me started on Russell Westbrook. Rubio is a different story, though. He dazzles us with his no-look passes, tosses the ball between the defenders legs and actually plays defense. It honestly brings me back to

They now both have the same eight second back court rule and a twenty four second shot clock rule, as well as making the three point line the same distance from the basket as each other. By doing this NBA scouts can compare
