In three months, we will receive our eighteen installment of NBA video game series, NBA 2k17. A lot of expectation is riding on the game since its previous installments critical acclaimed well in the recent years and NBA Live is not releasing until 2017. As there some reviews from IGN, GameInformer and Gamespot that praised the game as the "sports video game of the year", there are some reviewers (including gamers) that criticized the game for broken to the point that last year's edition looks…

New Orleans Pelicans superstar forward Anthony Davis is looking to accomplish a feat that hasn’t been done since the 1999-00 season by Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. The feat that he is trying to carry out is winning both the MVP and NBA’s scoring title as a big man. As I mentioned, Shaquille O’Neal was the last big man to win both awards in the 1999-00 season as he averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game. He also shot 57.4 percent from the field, including 57.5 percent on…

PSYC 3137 Flow The aspect of positive psychology that applies to my daily life is flow. Alan Carr defines flow as “a subjective state that people report when they become engaged in controllable but challenging tasks or activities that require considerable skill and that are intrinsically motivating, such as competitive sailing, creative writing, or having a stimulating conversation” (Carr, 2011). Flow is something that comes from within whether it has to do with motivation or just simply the…

Who is better LeBron James or Stephen Curry? It is a question many NBA fans kept hearing from other NBA fans. Both NBA players have been successful in their own ways. Both have many fans who think one of these two basketball players is better. Although LeBron has won more MVPs than Curry, Steph maybe better than LeBron. 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. Today, we look at the Eastern Conference and we’ll tackle the Western Conference next…

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). Subsequently leading to pushing, shoving, elbowing, desperate dives, and total bedlam (Kloppenburg, et al. 2013). Since basketball was often played on dance floors and in social halls, wire cages had to be…

When examining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ preseason performance thus far, an often heard question comes to mind. How much should preseason play be factored into projecting the upcoming NBA regular season? 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. Tuesday night, the Cavaliers (more like a deficient version of the team) met the Milwaukee Bucks at Quicken…

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. Kobe sat on the ledge of the cliff, missing his father more and more each day, he missed his laugh and the way he smiled at his son every time Kobe scored in a basketball game, he missed fishing with his father, and watching football on Sunday…
