except for Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking. Trust me there are reasons. Every basket scored in the NBA the player makes 37,940 dollars per shot made. To make a layup you've just made 37,940 dollars for one of the easiest shots in basketball! Shooting 35% from 3 gives you a 500,00 dollar bonus. That should cut down to 100,000 or 150,000. Making a 3 pointer doesn't give you that big of a bonus from 37,940. It should jump to 45,000 or 40,000 at least because that can be a really…

Should Like the Kansas Jayhawks for Basketball Lawrence, Kansas. “Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU.” This is the chant that the Jayhawk faithful chants at every home game. Teddy Roosevelt pronounced it the greatest college chant he’s ever heard. It is deafening. One reason you should like the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team is because Dr. James Naismith was the inventor of basketball. He joined the Kansas staff in 1898 and was the first coach of the Kansas Jayhawks. The basketball Hall of Fame is also…

Kobe Bryant is the one person in the world who inspires me. To me, Kobe inspires me to play basketball better. I sometimes watch how he forms his jumper. When I watch how he plays I later go outside and try to recreate everything he does. Just last year Kobe got the third highest point scorer in NBA history, prior to that, he hit an all-time best in assist, and in about two thousand six Kobe hit the second highest point scored in a single NBA game with eight one points. Kobe entered the league…

why wouldn’t they? I’ve never played competitive basketball, I’m essentially the opposite of LeBron James, and I define lanky. I look pretty silly when I play basketball, with my chicken legs dangling all over the place. I’m a baller stuck in a runner's body but that doesn’t stop me from being truthful about what I want out of my future. I know I’ll never play in the NBA, but a dream isn’t necessarily about the destination. I love playing basketball, and you can find me practicing outside during…

Lima, Ohio is a small, industrial town of just around 40,000 people, located between Dayton and Toledo on I-75. If you were to go to Lima, Ohio and ask who the greatest basketball player ever was you would get one name, Greg Simpson. Greg Simpson's story was that of success and failure. There was nothing stopping him from success, but himself. He was his own poison during his college years. He was featured in the Lima News as an eighth-grader at West Junior High. He garnered coverage due to his…

Basketball is a very competitive and active sport. Some may think it can be a very easy sport physically. But mentally and physically, it actually is a very hard sport to progress in. There are many different types of people that play the sport, like people who just play it casually where everyone can have a good time. But then there are the people who take it way too seriously, which are usually the people that think they are going to the big league. Those are the type of people that can…

The great LeBron James is known as one of the greatest basketball players not only in the United States, but in the world. Through out his life he has accomplished many things in the sport of basketball, as well as influenced many peoples lives in what he does for communities all over the United States. In the world of Popular Culture, I see LeBron James as the hegemony of The National Basketball Association (NBA). Hegemony is the leadership or predominant influence of one group over another.…
