NBA Draft

if the window for success with this team had closed. Some blame the loss of Kyrie Irving. Others feel as if the Eastern Conference has simply become too strong.

The team has now won 10 of its last 11 games. Furthermore, the team is currently in the midst of a five-game win streak. This stretch has included two key games. First, a…

The great debate of the NBA in the 1960s centered around two men who revolutionized the game of basketball in their own contrasting and unique ways. Bill Russell was a quiet warrior with unparalleled intensity. His primary concern was whether or not his team won. Everything else was secondary. Wilt Chamberlain was a once-in-a-generation athlete with an ability to seemingly score at will. His talent resulted in statistics and records that are unimaginable by today’s standards. Naturally, the…

tragic murder in 1993. Jordan continues on to play baseball in 1994, but retires after that season in 1995. He returns to the NBA wearing number 45, but later returns to his trademark number 23. In 1998, Jordan steals the ball from Karl Malone and shoots the game winning shot to win the Bulls sixth NBA title over the Utah Jazz. He retires after this season, but returns to the NBA in 2003 to play for the Wizards, and retired for good after this season for good. With nothing left to prove on the…

In 'Half-past Two', a child is put into detention for doing “Something Very Wrong” until half-past two; he doesn't know how to tell the time. As a result, doesn't know when to leave, he stays there daydreaming until the teacher remembers him, and she sends him away. 'Hide and Seek' is also about a child who is left alone. The poem is a story…

The YouTube video, The Big Fix: The 1985 Patrick Ewing NBA Lottery, indicated that the reason why the envelope was thrown in there like that was because Jack Wagner was purposely marking which envelope contained the Knicks logo. When Stern would see the marked envelope, he would go in there and pick up the envelope. After the globe was spun several times, the globe was opened and the commissioner visibly exhaled like he was deeply nervous. The video then suggested that Stern did that because he…

According to the National Basketball Association, a player must be 19 to enter the NBA. This is not the only requirement in becoming eligible to be signed or drafted by an NBA team. These different eligibility stipulations are clearly stated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement of 2005. This age limit makes it so the athlete cannot enter the professional league in the US directly after their high school class graduates.

The draft is finally here! Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavs and their fans. The NBA felt so bad for LeBron leaving to take his talents to South Beach that the NBA decided to award number one pick for the 3rd time since that moment. You have the number one pick!! Maybe the rules should be changed, so that the same team can’t keep winning the draft lottery. I’m sure a fan of the Timberwolves or the Kings would agree. They’ve never won the lottery, even though it seems like they’ve had…
