Since Kobe has retired who is now the current best NBA basketball player? Stephen Curry is a better three-point shooter than LeBron but some fans think that clutch shooting is…

The 2015 free agency period began at 12:01 AM Wednesday and the flurry of deals since then have barely given us a chance to catch our breath. Just over one week removed from the draft, the league will continue to move and shake in an attempt to catch up to Cleveland and Golden State. So, in honor of the period beginning, I decided to go back and look at the best free agent signings since 2000 for each team.

Initially boundaries were not defined, with walls serving as out of bounds markers in most cases (Frazier, 1998, p. 12). In 1904 the boundaries became straight lines with ball possession awarded to the first player to touch the ball after it went out of bounds (Kloppenburg, et al. 2013).

When examining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ preseason performance thus far, an often heard question comes to mind.

The Cavs met the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies in their first three preseason games and lost each contest, albeit by an average of less than five points per game.

Through you Kobe looked out over the horizon as the Colorado sun began to set and wondered if his feeling of helplessness and lost hope would ever seize to exist. It was December 7th, 1997, “it has only been 7 months” he thought out loud to himself.

Beating the Financial Odds After Basketball Few jobs pay like professional sports, and few sports pay as well as the National Basketball Association. In the last few years, many stars have signed contracts that are worth well over $100 million for just a few years work. Sadly, great numbers of these players did not come from money and lacked the financial management skills to handle these huge paychecks. The results were, and still are, often tragic. In short, big salaries often lead to…
