OIDs are especially sensitive situations because there are often other issues questioned throughout the investigation…

It was my assumption that he was randomly blessed with extraordinary height and happened to play very well overseas, leading to him being drafted into the NBA. However, Yao’s rise to superstardom is nowhere near as natural as I thought. Brook Larmer’s 2005 biographical exposé, Operation Yao Ming: The Chinese Sports Empire, American Big Business, and the Making of…

They had the one of the greatest NBA players of all time, Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan could do anything in basketball that’s why he was known as the best all around…

As great as Abraham Lincoln was, he never went to college and did not earn a degree. He was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, in 1809. Lincoln suffered from depression many times as a child, but he went on to become the 16th president after winning the 1860 election.
