year, he averaged 12.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. Parker also shot 49 percent from the field in 2014 and looks to be even more involved within the Bucks offense this season. He has yet to make his preseason debut this year, but coach Jason Kidd says that he has had a nice training camp. In his rookie season last year, he was only able to play in just 25 regular season games before tearing his ACL, ending his season abruptly. So, in 2015-16 we do have to worry about that…

We 've developed a relationship outside of basketball games, Beulah will call me to ask me how my day was or to tell me the weather report, because she knows I don 't watch the news.

races. Right from the start, I assumed this 40-minute documentary was going to pertain to the KKK, and their reign of terror on African Americans. Movies that related to my assumptions of what this video was going to withhold were; Glory Road, Coach Carter, and Remember the Titans.

“You don’t want to touch it.” I never forgot those words and hardly ever touched the edge again that year. As Coach Mike continued to coach me throughout the rest of the season, I realized how much I really like swimming. At the first meet, after swimming a long twenty-five meters or one lap, I was exhausted. After getting out, a young lady handed me a multi-colored ribbon…
the court with Jrue Holiday. It’s important to note that I did not include Holiday under the guard section. If Norris Cole does indeed sit again, it goes without saying that shot-chucking Holiday ($14,800) is a near autoplay. In other news, head coach Alvin Gentry still has his job.
