Do you have what it takes to be in the NBA? Standards are very high! Did you know players on average are getting smaller, but are actually jumping higher and farther. The NBA playing style has changed in many ways. One reason is that point guards are playing different than they used to, and they are becoming the center point of offenses. Also, the NBA has thrived on shooting three pointers. There even is talk about adding a four point line. Today, big men play different and are less physical than they used to play. Finally, the NBA free agency has changed in player motives. The way the point guard plays has changed majorly. The point guard plays so different in many aspects of the game basketball and the NBA in general. The point guard shoots a lot more. They have become just as good or better at shooting than even the shooting guard. The shooting guard now plays more like the old point guard, getting the ball moving. The point guard has become the main basketball position at almost any level. All kids who play basketball have probably wanted to be the point guard. The point guard has a good chance of being the most important for all teams. The point guards are getting smaller though, but they also are quicker. Being quicker or faster than before means they are probably still the fastest player on the court. This also allows them to make quick, sharp cuts for layups. With point guards having a better shot and with being quicker, they can make step-backs (Epstein, David).…

I do not believe that a percentage of team’s positions in professional sports should be for the nationals of the team’s home country because it will decrease the team’s competitiveness, it is not a real solution to improve the performance of domestic players, and it is not economically convenient. First, if teams reserve some positions for the national players, they will not be as competitive as they could be. In effect, this would mean that the teams will not be able to have the best players…

Once Allen Iverson went 1 year in college and went to the NBA because he had to take care of his family. College players should be able to go to the NBA after one year in college. They should be able to go because some players might not have enough money to continue college. They should be able to go because they might get hurt after the first year. One reason why it would be a good idea to keep the NBA age limit at 19 is because let's say the age limit is 20. So they will have to stay in…

Under the current bylaws of the NFL, no team can sell stock or public ownership in their franchise. Unless you are the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are the only team permitted to sell stock, because they were already selling stock before the NFL implemented the rule against it. This creates an enormous unfair advantage to the Packers over their competition in the NFL, and rule change needs to occur (Lariviere, 2011). The Packers have only publically sold shares of stock five times in the…

The term micro expressions is labeled as a “very brief facial expressions, lasting only a fraction of a second” (Micro Expressions). In other words, micro expressions only exist in a blink of an eye that human couldn’t capture. Furthermore, human ways of interaction are deeply connected to emotions and function through a system of “social signals: facial expressions” (Jack,…
