Basketball shooting has become a lost art in all levels of basketball. Just turn on a college or professional game to see the number of free throws or open shots that are missed badly. Surely if the best players in the world are missing shots then the lower levels are getting worse. How can this be you might ask? With all the technological advances, scouting, video analysis, and all the basketball shooting drills shouldn’t players be improving instead of regressing? Why Less is More In…

Because of the culture and environment of my country, bounds are everywhere. Since I was little, me and my peers were taught stuffs like following the rules, listening to elders and so on. Too much personality or individuality was considered rude or even wrong. I was never a “well-behaved” kid, when I was taught something, the first thing come to my mind will always be “how to against it”. When I was in middle school I was crazy about basketball. I once had a dream to become a professional…

The poem “Ex-Basketball Player” by John Updike chronicles the life and daily routine of the former high school basketball standout, Flick Webb. The speaker leads the reader on a journey through Flick’s life, starting with the main road in the town, progressing to Flick’s low end jobs, and then finishing with his habits. Flick was once the best basketball player in the area. However, he has since fallen from stardom and now he just “sells gas, checks oil, and changes flats.” (l. 19-20)…

For example, when your passing the ball to your teammate, you and your teammate would have to communicate with each other. If you can't…

stunned. Wes ran home, and Woody ran after him to make sure he was okay. Woody found Wes in his kitchen with a knife. Despite Tony’s warnings to keep out of trouble, he had also taught Wes to never let someone get away with hurting your pride: “rule number one: If someone disrespects you, you send a message so fierce that they won’t have the chance to do it again.” Woody tried to stop him, but Wes ran outside to confront the boy, not even noticing that police officers had shown up. Wes ran…

felt as if a piece of you was taken away whether you enjoyed the sport of basketball or not. The month of a June was a nostalgic one for the people of Miami. Billboards with Dwyane Wade’s face filled the highways, and people in white jerseys with the number 3 filled the streets showing their love and support for our dear Dwyane Wade. “I can’t believe he is really going back home after all of these years” I managed to overhear one person say to the next. Wherever you went it was hard to avoid…

Basketball has been the highlight of my highschool experience. I was eager to join the program freshman year of high school. I had a blast making new friends and looking forward to going to school because I loved basketball. I tried out again sophomore year and made the JV team. I grew a strong love for basketball that every time I'd play, I'll instantly be in a good mood. I was the goofy one out of all my teammates and wasn't shy to have fun. The JV team had an instant bond because of my big…

Stephen Curry is a person who gives everything he has and never gives up until the game is over with. Stephen Curry is 6'3 tall. He plays basketball for the Golden State Warriors. Steph is always ready to go and is always there for…

Basketball Basketball is more strenuous than people think. It requires a lot of stamina, patience, and skills. Most people view it as something anyone can play and be good at immediately, but it's actually more complicated than that. Basketball being such an unpredictable and such complicated game makes it so much more difficult to play and get a lot of success in. Most people underestimate basketball and think it's a lot easier than any other sports, but that not really the reality of it and I…
