Celtic F.C.

After defeating both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets in consecutive nights, the Philadelphia 76ers were back in action on Sunday taking on the Milwaukee Bucks.

Despite wrapping up the most successful regular season in franchise history, there is a general sense around the league that the Toronto Raptors have accomplished nothing. 21 seasons of (mostly) underachievement doesn’t help. 1 playoff series win and 7 playoff series losses don’t help. Zero best-of-seven playoff series wins definitely won’t help. Consecutive playoff series losses as the higher seed……well, you get the picture! Are you still reading? Because that’s all the negativity you’re…

The fight against racial segregation in professional basketball Racial segregation and basketball may seem like two separate topics; however, they had a substantial impact on each other during the 1900’s.

The history of free-throw; James Naismith created by a game that was non-violent. He wrote 13 rules of his game and labeled it basketball while he prepared teaching a gym class at the YMCA in Springfield, Mass in 1891.

Mistakes are Okay Basketball is a place in my life where I have naturally made mistakes. In a fast paced game where decisions are made in split seconds, even the biggest superstars in the world like Michael Jordan make mistakes. I have made plenty, and mistakes can be absorbed two ways. You can either accept the mistake and move on, or dwell about it and harm yourself. The most important part about being wrong is learning from it. Fixing mistakes can improve yourself as a person. This idea seems…

A 14 time All Star, 6 time NBA Champion, a Hall of Famer, and much more, all of these successes from one amazing basketball player, one as good may never appear in the NBA again. Many immediately think of Michael Jordan, and have asked how Jordan was so good. In the chapter “The Matthew Effect”, Malcolm Gladwell argues how it is not only skill that results in being successful, but that it is the time when you were born, saying that being born in the first six months of the year gives more time…
