2009 NBA Playoffs

Is six hours enough for a workday? I do not believe six hours is enough for a standard work day. Think about it, most people can not even survive on their hours now. Shortening hours will lead to loss of wages, ineligible for health insurance and maternity leave. We are not one of the 188 states that mandate paid maternity leave. In the end no I do not believe six hours is enough to sustain a middle class living. The economy is not in the right place right now to be shortening work hours.…

March break is that one time a year we get a random extra week off of school, in the middle of the month and because of this we shouldn’t take it for granted. We should take it to the fullest, go on hikes, visit new places or even go to a cottage or something. Something that can take our minds off of work, waking up early, and more work. It’s basically like a sick day, times a week but what's even better is that you’re not sick! March Break, who isn’t ready? Well if you’re not, don’t worry, I…

pierced through the silence. Everyone in that arena was focused on one thing: the basketball, and where it would end up. It was June of 2014, and I had just learned that in October, Wells Fargo would be hosting an NBA preseason game. This was pretty special, because I had never been to an NBA game before and was really excited to go. My dad, even though he would never show it, was excited too. Back when my…

advances, gender and racial equality and many more. Canadian basketball is one of the many concepts that has evolved over the past few years thanks to former Toronto Raptor Vince Carter and retired NBA player Steve Nash. There has already been visible change in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for example the last two first round drafts have been Canadian (Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett). Also, some of the best National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) players right now…

in the NBA. Although he doesn't know if he will get drafted to the NBA. He worries that he is not tall enough, not strong enough, and not fast enough. So, this off-season, Stephen plans to work harder than he ever has. He then hires a personal trainer to help him with his weaknesses. The hiring of the personal trainer was hard for him cause he didn't have much money. He used up his money the other day helping homeless men move into his new home. Steph was good friends with a couple of NBA…

levels of sports. Another popular approach Nike likes to use to promote its business is by having celebrities or famous athletes endorse their products. A good example of this is LeBron James, a three-time NBA championship winner, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and four-time recipient of the NBA Most Valuable Player award. LeBron James’s contract with Nike is worth at least one billion dollars. The most influential way he endorses Nike’s products is through appearing in advertisements -- two of…

Wall What makes a player earn the nickname “The Great Wall”. Yao Ming is a basketball player from China who played for the Houston Rockets, reaches 7’6” tall, dominated the NBA during his short eight season career, and was named “The Great Wall” because of his size and his talent. Finally having a promising Asian player in the NBA, a lot of Asians, and especially Chinese people hopped onto the bandwagon and supported him. So even though Yao had to move to a new country where he couldn’t even…

I have started following basketball for about seven years now. I have watched as a fan and as a way to learn the game. In my opinion, the two best ways to watch the game is by watching the NBA or the NCAA. The NBA or National Basketball Association, is a league of professional club basketball teams that all compete in North America with only 30 teams. It is considered to be the best of the best when it comes to the sport. The NCAA or National Collegiate Athletic Association, is a collegiate…
