    Before 2006, NBA players did not have to go to college to be drafted into NBA. Notable players such as Lebron James, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, and Kobe Bryant were drafted directly out of high school. Their careers have been nothing short of outstanding, so many people have questioned why the NBA increased the age limit in the first place. In 2005, the NBA decided that every player entering the draft must be at least one year removed from high school. Most players elect to spend that year, and

    Are there are any heroes that are currently alive? Maybe Lebron James, Elon Musk, and Kanye West could make strong cases for their heroism. But, I am absolutely sure that Odysseus the Cunning, King of Ithaca, would be a living, breathing hero in 2017. As young Ody, if I may call him, parades around the nation after his trek to far land of Amsterdam, men and women alike would bow in his presence as an exemplary fellow. His loyalty and faithfulness, his drive, the way he led his men, should all be

    life watching meaningless basketball when I can just tune in when the playoffs start in April?” “We all know who’s going to make the playoffs and who’s going to make it to the Finals this season, so who cares what happens from October to March?” Yes, the NBA is quite long, and it’s pretty predictable when it comes to standings and lottery picks. Plus, many star players take games off in the regular season to rest for the playoffs, which really stinks for fans that go to the games. I know this feeling

    Xavier Henry, Daniel Orton, Byron Mullens, Tyrus Thomas, Javaris Crittenton, Greg Oden. What’s in common for all of these players? They’re all one-and-done nba draft busts. All are now either in the d-league or free agency (not signed to a team, no salary). I believe that being a one-and-done athlete is detrimental to the athlete’s education, and future. The one-and-done rule forces players to have at least one year in college, than being able to apply for the draft. This rule was created in

    The Dallas Mavericks have had an interesting offseason to say the least. The free agency period started off fantastic for the team but got rough very quickly. With the pending signing of a massive free agent in Deandre Jordan, Mavericks fans were on cloud nine. We all know how the Jordan saga played out, so Dallas had to look elsewhere in free agency and through trades. Dallas signed a young shooting guard in Wesley Matthews and an aging point guard in Deron Williams. The team also traded for veteran

I go to the game I see all the Warriors players on the court preparing for the game. “Wow what an awesome view!” I said “I can’t wait til the game starts!” I go down to the court and get ready to watch the game. I sit down and the clock is at 5 minutes before the game starts. 5 mins later the countdown before the game ends and the game is about the start. I look around me and the crowd is so vibrant

    Too Much Stephen Curry is paid about 11.37 million dollars a year. Are your parents paid that much money for doing their job? Probably not. So, why are athletes like Stephen Curry making millions of dollars a year for playing a sport? Athletes are paid way too high of a salary and it is unfair. The American population seems to value entertainment more than the people who provide, teach, and protect us. Is that really what we want America’s message to be? In general, most athletes are drafted
