The Cleveland Show

The NBA gets about 10 million views per game, as a NBA player I have to set an example for those viewers. The NBA gives drug test. If you don’t show up to a drug test you automatically get a suspension. Players get fined if they cuss or if they get a flagrant foul and get thrown out the game. In the NBA players must respect their teammates and coaching staff. The NBA doesn’t allow drugs and doesn't…

For the majority of this year, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been viewed as an afterthought. A large number of analysts and fans felt as 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 bottom line is, the Cavaliers were written off and deemed hopeless. Well, with the NBA playoffs right around the corner, the Cavaliers have ramped it up once again. The team has now won 10 of its…

Fantasy sports can be defined as a media game in which people use real life professional athletes’ performances, as points to win a made up game (Carroll 12, 2013). It is easy to see why a fabricated game like this could become so well liked throughout our culture because it is another way for fans to live out their professional sporting dreams vicariously through the athletes, while also being able to put together a group of players that would otherwise never be on the same team (Carroll 12,…

be a good athlete and most importantly how to be a good human being. They have taught me life lessons that I can only hope to preserve by instilling them into my athletes in my time as a coach. The articles I have chosen to highlight in this essay show how coaches have helped to develop character in athletes, how they pushed them to be the best on and off the field of play, and illustrate how they stepped into the lives of athletes and became so much more than just a coach. Pat Summitt is known…

Basketball Basketball was invented in the year 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts by a Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith. Naismith devised this game to condition his young athletes during the colder months. The sport did not begin with an actual basketball and two nets.

The objective of the game was to throw the soccer ball into the…

While it was initially a success, in the long term the Populist movement faltered. Farmers tried to overcome deflation and falling crop prices by forming organaizations such as the Grange and the Farmers’ Alliance. Many farmers joined the Populist Party in the 1890s. “Populism was a movement to increase farmers’ political power and to work for legislation in their interest. Farmers joined the Populist movement because they were in the midst of an economic crisis” (The American Vision 470).…

The down on their luck fans can never seem to catch a break. These fans consist of Cleveland Browns fans, Miami Dolphins fans, and Buffalo Bills fans. These fans are by far the most annoying, always counting how many touchdowns their team needs to come back even when it’s clear there is no hope and acting like every play of every game is…

A picture is worth 1,000 words It’s just the second meeting between these two elite teams in the NBA. The offensive juggernauts that are the Cleveland Cavaliers, and a team with one of the best records in the west, the Houston Rockets. One team destine for playoff greatness, and the other hungry for a NBA title. The crowd roars as the starting line ups are announced. Some hear boos as the name “LeBron James” is announced. The crowd stands up and cheers as the name “James Harden” is announced.…

Slow starts have become a theme for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Through six games this season, the Cavs have had to erase early deficits in several contests — And Friday night’s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers was no different. “That’s a fact — We started slow the last two games,” Cavs head coach David Blatt said. “The sample size is small, but we did mention it.” Despite another slow start against Philadelphia Friday, the Cavs (5-1) pulled away to pick up a 108-102 victory in Quicken Loans…
