It was the season of 1995-96 when the Chicago Bulls NBA team led by hall of famers Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman did what no other team has done. They had won 70 games and were able to finish the season with a (72-10) record. Until recently no team has been considered able to break this record, but the Golden State Warriors have shown many people why this year could be a record breaking year. The Golden State Warrior have a vision that they are not just playing aimlessly…

Michael Jordan was a basketball player for the Chicago Bulls. He was arguably the best basketball player to ever live. He also was an actor who starred in the movie “Space Jam”. Along with an actor and basketball player, he played baseball for the White Sox too. If that's not enough, he is also a businessman who owns the Charlotte Bobcats. He even donates to so many charities. Just one example was last year when he won a court case for 8.5 million dollars. He gave all of it to children's…

1. James Harden- Houston Rockets Since being traded to the Rockets in 2012, James Harden leads all shooting guards in points scored, usage percentage, and made free throws. He’s established himself as one of the most dangerous offensive players in the entire NBA, regardless of the position. Harden is about as close to a lock as possible to average 25 points per game next season. From his incredibly high usage percentage, to his lack of a legit number two star around him; it’s almost a lock that…

Following the end of an injury-plagued 19-13 (10-8 Mid-American Conference) season head coach Rob Senderoff knew that he’d have to replace the contributions made by graduating seniors Chris Ortiz, Xavier Pollard and Kaliq Spicer. What he didn’t know that he’d also lose his starting point guard, key bench players, a staff member and his star power forward. The month of April began with an announcement that redshirt junior guard Kellon Thomas be transferring to a school closer to home for his…

Attention Discussion - Project Group 2 For this week’s discussion the article that stud out to me was Mind Games. The article was about Stanley Johnson a forward from the Detroit Pistons basketball team. One of the examples regarding stimulus was how at the end of last season he sat down with his coach and talked about his goals and the team goals for next season. From talking to the coach Stanley realized how much work the coach put into each season and what he needed to do to improve his…

Flash back to 2010: A world in which Twitter was just hitting the mainstream audience, nobody knew what a “Snap Chat” was, and fans of the Knicks, Nets, Clippers, Cavaliers, Warriors, Rockets, Heat, and Lakers hoped to land LeBron James. Fast forward to today: Twitter is at its apex, Snap Chat couldn’t be more successful, and give a take a team or two and those same teams are coveting the second most impactful free agent of all time, Kevin Durant. According to multiple reports, Durant has…

During the 1970's a group of skaters called the Z-boys created a punk style that still exists today. The skaters were part of a skate team called The Jeff Ho Zephyr team that's where they got the name Z-boys.

He was hired to work as a surfboard maker and the founder of the Z-boys. By 1974 the Z-boys had 5 members Allen Sarlo, Jay Adams, Tony…

Over the past 100 years, basketball has evolved significantly. Many things have developed within the game of basketball for the better. Basketball went from the original 13 rules to over 100 today, but its foundation still remains the same. Things that have changed to make the game more intriguing is the scoring, the way things are timed, and the diversity the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) have in today. In the late 1800s and early…

Pride is one of the few words in the English language that everybody can identify with. Pride is actually a good thing to have because if a person has pride in what he does it makes him do it better.

Pride is a thing that can cause people to feel a sense of satisfaction even if they fail. As long as they give their best, they are satisfied. But as the…
