The basketball we know today is different from early basketball by rules, amount of teams, and the fundamentals of how the game is played. The game of basketball was started by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. When basketball was first started the way you would play would be by shooting a soccer ball into peach…

Bradley suggests that Fox is a decent coach through facts such as, that his defenses are typically top 25 in the nation and that they have made the NCAA Tournament twice in his tenure, however he provides support that…
I chose to write a parody of LeBron James returning back to Cleveland, after leaving for Miami in 2014. I found a lot of similarities between Act 1 and the events that transpired in the fall in 2014. LeBron James is arguably one of the best basketball players of all time and was seen by many as the heir to Michael Jordan.

Another reason I like LeBron is the energy he brings…
