Core Consultancy's Human Resource Model Spurs Growth with Collaborative Impact
Over 100 years ago famed physicist Albert Einstein stated, "We can't solve problems by using the
same kind of thinking we used when we created them." One company that is using a different level
of thinking is Core Consultancy, Inc. (CCI). As the Human Resources Strategizer for CCI, I have an
opportunity to play a significant role in this leading–edge enterprise. However, because of the nature
and structure (or lack of structure) of this business, everyone employed or contracted with CCI plays
a significant role in changing the shape of business in America. The challenges of worker's need to

In fact, borrowing positive psychologist Martin Seligman's (2002) admonition to "[u]se your
signature strengths and virtues in the service of something much larger than you are," CCI instills
optimistic and humanistic practices throughout American business. Their Human Resources
leadership strategy dovetails that of its founders to enact psychology pioneer Seligman's human
happiness wisdom. Seligman, pioneer of Positive Psychology (the term coined by Abraham
Maslow) found that
[t]he most satisfied, upbeat people were those who had discovered and exploited their unique
combination of 'signature strengths,' such as humanity, temperance and persistence...that happiness
has three dimensions that can be cultivated: the Pleasant Life, the Good Life, and the Meaningful
Life. In [Seligman's] study of the Good Life (cultivating strengths and virtues) and the Meaningful
Life (developing meaning and purpose), positive psychology seeks to help people acquire the skills
to be able to deal with the stuff of life in ever fuller, deeper ways. (Seligman, 2002)
CCI epitomizes this search to exploit people's unique signature strengths by extending their
philosophy to transform the way business is transmitted in the new world of work. CCI's mission to
integrate collaborative, contributive principles into business ensures sustainable service through
sustainable transition. The CCI mission is to provide meaningful organizational

Kobe Bryant: A Role Model
Many people have a person that they look up to and who encourages them. It's someone who I think
doesn't give up and gets back up when they fall down, who has an impact to other people around
them and they work for what they have earned. A person that is a role model to me is a man named
Kobe Bryant. He is a basketball player that accomplished many things in his career. He was also
born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Biography Today 44). He is someone who
overtime has shown persistence and courage throughout his career in basketball. Kobe Bryant was a
role model and inspiring basketball player that had a great legacy in the NBA. Some people have a

One of the things that inspired him was how much he loved the sport. Kobe Bryant said, "It's the
enjoyment of the game and the love of it. Then it's the low hanging fruit of responding to this
challenge. I mean it's right there, it's very easy to get me going" ("Kobe Bryant Best Motivational
Speech"). Another factor of what inspired him was his willingness to become the greatest which
encouraged him to do better each time. "That's how I would think everyone would go into it. You
want to be the man, you know, not the best of the moment, but the best who ever set foot on a
basketball court," said Kobe Bryant (Biography Today 54). Kobe brought out the best in people and
he wanted to have a positive affect to the people around him and supported him in his life. His goal
was to be one of the greatest, but he also wanted to influence people. One of the motivational things
that he said was, " We realize the most important thing in life is how your career moves and touches
those around you and how it carries forward to the next generation. You realize that's what makes
true greatness" ("Kobe Bryant Interview"). These are the things that kept him from giving up

The Role Of Sports In Society
Sports is language, tradition, and community. From the late nineteenth century to present day,
college and professional sports have helped build communities and help mold the American identity
on the bare ground level. These pastimes make society peaceful, socially cohesive, and more equal.
Throughout American history, sports have played a role in economic development, having
sociological impacts in different regions and have also influenced politics.
Professional and amateur sports have built regional fandoms across North America. The fans of all
ethnicities and races come together and unite to support their team whether its "Football Sunday" or
"NBA Saturday". Sports enhance our understanding of the gender roles and socio–economic issues
that help frame identity in every community (What Is the Role of Sports in Society?). More than
three–fifths of adults in the general population are involved in sports–related activities. Additionally,
one–quarter are actively engaged in a sport as participants, parents of children in a sport, coaches, or
volunteers (Boxill et al 10). One's favored team provides a link to overall social structure and a feel
of togetherness This creates a network of relationships throughout a community that connects one
person to another through sports. Engagement rates of sports are highest among men and high–
income households(Boxill et al 10). As reflected in America's society, men are the dominant group
in sports as they are most likely the coaches of

Those players contributed to the Spurs team heavily so that the Spurs could win championships. In a
short matter of time the world saw the "emergence of the "Big Three" – Tim Duncan, Manu
Ginobili, and Tony Parker – as the driving force of the Spurs," which turned the team into a super
team (Kohout). These three players played a huge role in the future of the Spurs team. Additionally,
the trio established an identity that powered the Spurs to be constant contenders for the
championship and vicious competitors in the NBA. The Spurs have a distinct style of play that is not
matched by any other teams in the NBA. With the use of their "aging David Robinson and an
impressive cache of role players – Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson, Mario Elie, etc. – the Spurs captured
their first championship," because of all of the great players the Spurs acquired, they won the
championship (Price). This shows that the Spurs did not have one superstar, but it was a
combination of various players that had unique talents, which resulted in a balanced team which led
to their first championship. Their style consists of basic fundamental plays and players do not
typically initiate any flashy plays that would result in the team losing their possession. This kind of

LeBron takes on one of his biggest rivals, Lance Stephenson Paul George. Game 1 was one C.J
Miles jumper away from giving the Pacers the series lead. The Cavaliers' Big Three dominated
Game 2 combining for 89 points. In Game 3, the Cavaliers overcame the largest halftime deficit in
NBA history, 25 points. James finished with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. Anytime King
James is on the court it's a marvel to watch. In retrospect, the Pacers should be up 2–1. Instead, they
face a 3–0 deficit. LeBron extended his winning streak to 20 consecutive first round games. In other
words, Paul George will soon be riding into the sunset of Los Angeles.

Joe Johnson's buzzer beater in Game 1 led the Jazz to an upset victory. Chris Paul led the Clippers to

being one of the unfortunates turns into one of the fortunate. Denis Rodman was born May 13, 1961,

The National Basketball Association ( Nba )
One of the professional sport leagues that I feel does the best job exposing diverse population
playing its sport is the National Basketball Association (NBA). The sports league that I feel does the
worst job of exposing diverse populations to playing its sport is the National Hockey League (NHL).
The NBA consists of a variety of people from different cultures and ethnical backgrounds that play
the game. Many great NBA players have come from different cultures and had a great career playing
basketball for the NBA such as Pau Gasol who is from Spain, Manu Ginobili who is from Argentina,
Dirk Nowitzki who is from West Germany, and many more great basketball players. There are many
great NBA players that come from different social class such as Kobe Bryant coming from a middle
class family because his father played professional basketball in Italy and in the NBA and Jimmy
Butler who was homeless at the age of 13. The reason why I chose NHL as the worst to expose
diverse population because the league is predominantly white and hockey doesn't seem like a
worldwide sport, because the only areas I seen where people really are into hockey is in Canada and
the north and northeast part of the United States. I really found it odd that there are a lot of minority

Top 10 Coaches Heading Into 2016-2017
Top 10 Coaches Heading into 2016–2017 I built this list with a couple of things in mind. I have tried
to mix in their coaching resume, tactics, player development, coaching skill, who I would want to
coach my team, among other things. Keep in mind this list is purely subjective as you can't measure
coaching ability with statistical analysis, the way you would when comparing players. So on that
note here we go: 1. Gregg Popovich I don't think anybody would argue with Pop in the top spot. He
has been doing it for 20 years, he is a 3–time Coach of the Year, and a 5–time NBA champion.
Bringing LaMarcus Aldridge and, more recently, Pau Gasol to the Spurs had a lot to do with the man
in charge. He has also done a great job of player development., Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, are
prime examples of talent acquisition and development for Pop. He developed Kawhi Leonard into
the superstar and defensive menace that he currently is and has routinely outwitted his opponents in
game. Pop has done a fantastic job extending the careers of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, and Parker
by being one of the rest day pioneers and maximizing his rotation players. He has taken players such
as Danny Green and Boris Diaw, that seem like misfits elsewhere, and turns them into contributors.

Heel Spur Essay
A heel spur is a calcium deposit, located on the calcaneus that protrudes outwards, also, known as
calcaneal spur or osteophytes. Frequently discovered on the bottom of the heel and protrudes
towards the toes, but they can also be located on the back of the heel. Heel spurs occur when
calcium deposits build up; therefore, this is a development that frequently occurs over a period of
several months. Heel spurs are frequently instigated via strains on foot muscles and ligaments,
stretching of the plantar fascia, and repetitive tearing of the membrane that conceals the heel bone.
According to Webmd, heel spurs are particularly common among athletes because of wearing
inadequate fitted shoes. Heel spurs are also instigated to excessive weight gain/obesity, old age,

calcaneus. In X–ray radiography, technical factor does not change in x–raying individuals with heel
spurs. In extreme cases, a doctor may need to perform surgery for the removal of the heel spur.
Treatment is applied to the associated condition such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles
tendonitis/tendonosis, or arthritis that instigated the heel spur to form. Typically, icing, anti–
inflammatory medications, physical–therapy, stretching, exercising, deep tissue massage, taping,

How do you know your persistent heel pain is due to a heel spur?
There may be a variety of reasons for that steady heel pain you're experiencing over a period of time

Tim Duncan Research Paper
Tim Duncan may have played his last game in the NBA. With his team bowing out to the Oklahoma
City Thunder in the second round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs, the Spurs' truly dominant season ended
surprisingly early. Most had San Antonio penciled in to face the Golden State Warriors based upon a
67–win regular season, but as the series against the Thunder wore on, one thing became very
apparent: The Spurs are OLD. San Antonio heavily relies on younger players like Kawhi Leonard
and LaMarcus Aldridge, but the core of the Spurs still starts and ends with their original Big 3: Tony
Parker, Manu Ginobili and of course, Timmy. They are the vets that give the Spurs its "team over
me" ethos that head coach Gregg Popovich preaches. Without the vets fully ... Show more content

Next thing you know they did call my name. All my teammates were excited to see me play in the
contest. They were 6 people whose name was called up including mine. The three point contest is to
see how many three point field goals you can make from five positions in one minute. There are 5
stations and you only have 5 shots to shoot from each of those stations. Each shot you make is 1
point but the last shot from each rack is called the "moneyball" counted as 2 points. The first three

Throughout the series, we have seen the Spurs transition from keeping up with the Rockets uptempo
style, to enforcing their defensive prowess, and disrupting the game plan of Houston. We have seen
Houston, however, expand the floor and knock down the long ball at a tremendous rate. Going
forward, there are issues that both coaches need to fix. For one, the free flowing Houston offense is
slowly but surely reverting back to heavy reliance on James Harden. D'Antoni needs to implement
more of his bench, generate even more points inside the 3 point arc, and find a way to contain
Kawhi Leonard. For Pop, closing out the series will mean exploiting Houston in every way possible.
Without Nene, and an incompetent Ryan Anderson on defense, the coaching staff needs to ingratiate
Pau Gasol into the offense more effectively. 4 points in 20 minutes for a future Hall–of–Famer, no
matter how old, is unacceptable, and like we've seen with the great Eric Spoelstra in Miami during
the big 3 era, Pop has to dump the ball into Gasol to get him going the way Spo did Chris Bosh. This
way there is more cohesion on the offensive end and more guys are in rhythm when slumps occur.

The best defensive player in the league, and NBA champion, and western conference all star starter
Kawhi Leonard demonstrates this ability. The San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard won
defensive MVP in 2015–16 and is also one of the best players in the league, averaging 25 points per
game and 2 steals per game. Another great player who also has great defensive characteristics is
Paul George of the Indiana Pacers. When not on the floor the Pacers are one of the worst defensive
teams, but when he is on the court they become 6th defensively. He is almost single handling
leading the Pacers to a playoff position this year, at the 6th seed as of right now. The final great
current NBA player whose great defensive ability makes him strive is Detroit Pistons center Andre
Drummond. Drummond is the anchor of the Pistons, and a defensive monster, averaging 1.6 blocks
per game. Andre is leading the NBA with a defensive rating of 93, and is one of the best at
defending the paint. That is how all great current NBA players share a trait of great defense to make
them the best current NBA players, examples are Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Andre

Why Is Basketball Important In Basketball
Basketball Injuries: The Breaking Point

Basketball. The sport is played in elementary school, in middle school, and most common in
physical education. There are stories of somebody hurting themselves playing this game. Injuries are
a part of society, accidents happen everyday, even the smallest misstep as a twisted ankle could end
up being an injury. Injuries are random events that will happen throughout our lives, but when an
injury affects an entire sports organization, there is definitely more at stake. Paul George was an all–
star, an MVP candidate, and the man that was about to help the Indiana Pacers finally dethrone the
king, Lebron James. But that all changed in August of 2014. Paul George was playing in a friendly
scrimmage for the USA Olympic basketball team. George was running back on defense against one
of the other players, James Harden, when Paul awkwardly landed against the stanchion, the section
of the basketball hoop that juts into the ground. The bone snapped in the middle of his ankle and
knee, not where you're supposed to break anything. The leg had broken through the skin and started
to pierce through the leg. Paul George gives us some insight about the experience,

Kobe Bryant : The Greatest Basketball Players Ever
Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest basketball players ever. There's no denying that. He has five
world championships, an MVP award, two scoring titles, 18 All Star appearances, is third all–time in
points scored...you get the point.
Ever since Bryant announced he would retire at the end of this season, in a poem published in The
Players Tribune, he's had a farewell tour the likes of which only Derek Jeter could top. Every
opposing team regales him with presents. Fans who for years hated him are now lovingly cheering
him on. The media can't get enough of him, and he, in turn, is soaking it all up.
Which is fine. Who am I to say what Kobe deserves? My only point is that, lost in the hoopla
surrounding Kobe's farewell tour, two equally deserving players that haven't announced their
retirement but seem destined to do so after year's end are being brusquely overlooked.
Way I see it, there are three main reasons Kobe is getting so much attention while Kevin Garnett and
Tim Duncan, two exceptional NBA players so close to retirement themselves, are not:
Kobe announced his retirement ahead of time (a trend on the rise that seems a tad–bit selfish,
although exceptionally fun for fans)
He plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, which means that he'll always get more of a spotlight than
Duncan or KG, who are playing out their final seasons in San Antonio and Minnesota, respectively

The latter part of Tim Duncan 's career has featured him at the center position. However, history will
remember him as a power forward and he played last season at the four (but if my Lamarcus
Aldridge prediction holds true he may be moving back to center). In all reality, determining which
position Duncan should be listed may be more exciting than speculating on his future. He is not
playing anywhere but San Antonio. The real question may be will he play next season at all. If he
decides to stay in the league, he needs to let the Spurs know quickly, so a deal can be reached soon
to prevent a lack of cap flexibility, tying their hands with other targets (Aldridge). Duncan has taken
less money for the betterment of the team through his entire career. It will be interesting to see how
low the Spurs ask Duncan to go, again, as they prepare for their future without him.
What should he do? The question is not if Duncan retired in a Spurs uniform, but when.

world, with 450 million people playing the sport across the globe, and over a billion people
watching the National Basketball Association, or NBA (CNN 2010). However, even the casual fan
of the NBA will notice that there is a certain disparity when it comes the competitiveness in the
league. There are thirty teams in the NBA, yet only four teams have won a combined 44 out of a
possible 71 championships. Since 2000, four teams have combined to win fourteen out of a possible
eighteen championships (NBA 2017). Teams in the NBA who have a greater accessibility to
financial resources are primed to be more successful, which highlights the lack of parity in the NBA,
a problem that has caused unfair competition since the league's conception. NBA teams that are
located in larger metropolitan areas have been more successful in the past because of their access to
a larger media market, which in turn allowed for the NBA to gain much more revenue from them as
compared to teams located in smaller cities. Frank P. Josza, professor of economics at Pffiefer
University, states that teams located in larger markets are more successful than those which are not
because of the larger potential of capital to be gained by simply being located in a city with more
people (Josza 2017). Essentially, NBA teams that are located in larger cities have a higher chance of
earning money than those in smaller cities

Basketball Game Persuasive Essay
Intro The San Antonio Spurs will face off against the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the
NBA Playoffs. Does that sentence sound familiar? Well that's because these two teams met up in the
first round of last year's playoffs as well. The Grizzlies are looking for a different result this time as
they got swept in last year's matchup and lost three out of the four games by 20+ points. Look for
the series to be different this time around as Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, who were injured last
year, should both be healthy and ready to go, which leads to the key matchups of this series. Key
Matchups: Spurs Bigs vs. Grizzlies Bigs The frontcourt is definitely the main event of this series.
Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol go head to head with Pau Gasol and Lamarcus Aldridge. With this,
you have a matchup filled with post play, shot blocking and mid–range jump shots. These players
will have a huge impact on the scoreboard and whichever outplays the other could determine the
outcome. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Tony Parker Now this matchup may not be as flashy as Stephen Curry vs. Damian Lillard or Russell
Westbrook vs. James Harden, but it should be paid attention to nonetheless. It's a point guard
oriented league and these two have a lot to contribute. Tony Parker is still an important player for
the Spurs (even though it's Kawhi Leonard's team now) and Memphis' success is predicated on the
play of Mike Conley. Mike Conley, at this stage of his career, is the better player. Particularly,
Conley is because he's averaging a career high in points (20.6 ppg), while Tony Parker is averaging
his lowest since his rookie year. These two will have an impact and will be a key matchup. Tony
Allen vs. Kawhi

As The Clock Ticks Down Towards The 2017 Nba Trade Deadline,
As the clock ticks down towards the 2017 NBA trade deadline, teams are preparing their best offers
and looking to swing some deals that will set them up well beyond this season. There have already
been significant moves made, including DeMarcus Cousins going to New Orleans and Serge Ibaka
going to Toronto. While some teams have made their intentions clear, others remain shrouded in
mystery. Here is a preview of where teams could stand at this year 's deadline.
The Obvious Choices:
Buyers: Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto
Raptors, Washington Wizards, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, Memphis
Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder, New Orleans Pelicans, Charlotte Hornets ... Show more content
on Helpwriting.net ...
Miles, and Monta Ellis could all be on the table and the Pacers could be one of the most fascinating
teams to watch at the deadline.
Denver Nuggets: As mentioned before, the Nuggets have already added Mason Plumlee and could
still add more to their lineup, while also making drastic moves at the deadline. Names like Wilson
Chandler and Emmanuel Mudiay are very much in play, and the team could be in the market for an
upgrade at point guard. Like Indiana, their situation is very fluid and they could buy and sell at the
same time.
Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks have already cleared out Miles Plumlee in exchange for the more
manageable contracts of Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes, and could still make some selling moves.
However, their core is one of the most exciting in the NBA, and they could seek to cash in some
assets for another long–term piece. As of now, the Bucks could stand pat, but may also do some
slight dealing on both sides of the aisle.
The Toss Ups:
Atlanta Hawks: The Hawks are smack in the middle of the playoff hunt, yet there does not seem to
be a clear answer as to what they might do. They already traded away Kyle Korver, but also appear
poised for upgrades. When it comes down to it, the Hawks will only seek to add a player and take a
risk with re–signing Paul Millsap this offseason.
Verdict: Buyer
Chicago Bulls: The Bulls have struggled all season with poor three–point shooting, depth issues, and
road woes. However, they are right in the thick of things

Core Consultancy’S Human Resource Model Spurs Growth With Core Consultancy's Human Resource Model Spurs Growth with Collaborative Impact Over 100 years ago famed physicist Albert Einstein stated, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." One company that is using a different level of thinking is Core Consultancy, Inc. (CCI). As the Human Resources Strategizer for CCI, I have an opportunity to play a significant role in this leading–edge enterprise. However, because of the nature and structure (or lack of structure) of this business, everyone employed or contracted with CCI plays a significant role in changing the shape of business in America.

In fact, borrowing positive psychologist Martin Seligman's (2002) admonition to "[u]se your signature strengths and virtues in the service of something much larger than you are," CCI instills optimistic and humanistic practices throughout American business. Their Human Resources leadership strategy dovetails that of its founders to enact psychology pioneer Seligman's human happiness wisdom. Seligman, pioneer of Positive Psychology (the term coined by Abraham Maslow) found that [t]he most satisfied, upbeat people were those who had discovered and exploited their unique combination of 'signature strengths,' such as humanity, temperance and persistence...that happiness has three dimensions that can be cultivated: the Pleasant Life, the Good Life, and the Meaningful Life. In [Seligman's] study of the Good Life (cultivating strengths and virtues) and the Meaningful Life (developing meaning and purpose), positive psychology seeks to help people acquire the skills to be able to deal with the stuff of life in ever fuller, deeper ways. (Seligman, 2002) CCI epitomizes this search to exploit people's unique signature strengths by extending their philosophy to transform the way business is transmitted in the new world of work.

It's someone who I think doesn't give up and gets back up when they fall down, who has an impact to other people around them and they work for what they have earned. A person that is a role model to me is a man named Kobe Bryant. He is a basketball player that accomplished many things in his career. He was also born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Biography Today 44). He is someone who overtime has shown persistence and courage throughout his career in basketball. Kobe Bryant was a role model and inspiring basketball player that had a great legacy in the NBA. Some people have a mindset that makes them say I was born to do this. Kobe had that mindset ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One of the things that inspired him was how much he loved the sport. Kobe Bryant said, "It's the enjoyment of the game and the love of it. Then it's the low hanging fruit of responding to this challenge. I mean it's right there, it's very easy to get me going" ("Kobe Bryant Best Motivational Speech"). Another factor of what inspired him was his willingness to become the greatest which encouraged him to do better each time. "That's how I would think everyone would go into it. You want to be the man, you know, not the best of the moment, but the best who ever set foot on a basketball court," said Kobe Bryant (Biography Today 54). Kobe brought out the best in people and he wanted to have a positive affect to the people around him and supported him in his life. His goal was to be one of the greatest, but he also wanted to influence people. One of the motivational things that he said was, " We realize the most important thing in life is how your career moves and touches those around you and how it carries forward to the next generation. You realize that's what makes true greatness" ("Kobe Bryant Interview"). These are the things that kept him from giving up through the obstacles that he ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

From the late nineteenth century to present day, college and professional sports have helped build communities and help mold the American identity on the bare ground level. These pastimes make society peaceful, socially cohesive, and more equal. Throughout American history, sports have played a role in economic development, having sociological impacts in different regions and have also influenced politics. Professional and amateur sports have built regional fandoms across North America. The fans of all ethnicities and races come together and unite to support their team whether its "Football Sunday" or "NBA Saturday". Sports enhance our understanding of the gender roles and socio–economic issues that help frame identity in every community (What Is the Role of Sports in Society?). More than three–fifths of adults in the general population are involved in sports–related activities. Additionally, one–quarter are actively engaged in a sport as participants, parents of children in a sport, coaches, or volunteers (Boxill et al 10). One's favored team provides a link to overall social structure and a feel of togetherness This creates a network of relationships throughout a community that connects one person to another through sports. Engagement rates of sports are highest among men and high– income households(Boxill et al 10).

The Spurs contain a unique identity that separates them from the rest of the teams in the league due to their different style of play. The recognition that the Spurs accumulated came from how the team played in the old days as well as how great of a team they are right now. In the league and around the world, the San Antonio Spurs are regarded as one of the best teams in the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs are the oldest team in the NBA in terms of the players age, meaning that their organization possesses many years of experience of being in the league. This also means that they have played a lot more games than the other players on the other teams. The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Those players contributed to the Spurs team heavily so that the Spurs could win championships. In a short matter of time the world saw the "emergence of the "Big Three" – Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker – as the driving force of the Spurs," which turned the team into a super team (Kohout). These three players played a huge role in the future of the Spurs team. Additionally, the trio established an identity that powered the Spurs to be constant contenders for the championship and vicious competitors in the NBA. The Spurs have a distinct style of play that is not matched by any other teams in the NBA. With the use of their "aging David Robinson and an impressive cache of role players – Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson, Mario Elie, etc. – the Spurs captured their first championship," because of all of the great players the Spurs acquired, they won the championship (Price). This shows that the Spurs did not have one superstar, but it was a combination of various players that had unique talents, which resulted in a balanced team which led to their first championship. Their style consists of basic fundamental plays and players do not typically initiate any flashy plays that would result in the team losing their possession.

The Cavaliers' Big Three dominated Game 2 combining for 89 points. In Game 3, the Cavaliers overcame the largest halftime deficit in NBA history, 25 points. James finished with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. Anytime King James is on the court it's a marvel to watch. In retrospect, the Pacers should be up 2–1. Instead, they face a 3–0 deficit. LeBron extended his winning streak to 20 consecutive first round games. In other words, Paul George will soon be riding into the sunset of Los Angeles. Prediction: Cavaliers in Four 4 Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz Joe Johnson's buzzer beater in Game 1 led the Jazz to an upset victory. Chris Paul led the Clippers to a Game 2 victory with 21 points and 10 assist.

  • 24. The National Basketball Association ( Nba ) One of the professional sport leagues that I feel does the best job exposing diverse population playing its sport is the National Basketball Association (NBA). The sports league that I feel does the worst job of exposing diverse populations to playing its sport is the National Hockey League (NHL). The NBA consists of a variety of people from different cultures and ethnical backgrounds that play the game. Many great NBA players have come from different cultures and had a great career playing basketball for the NBA such as Pau Gasol who is from Spain, Manu Ginobili who is from Argentina, Dirk Nowitzki who is from West Germany, and many more great basketball players. There are many great NBA players that come from different social class such as Kobe Bryant coming from a middle class family because his father played professional basketball in Italy and in the NBA and Jimmy Butler who was homeless at the age of 13. The reason why I chose NHL as the worst to expose diverse population because the league is predominantly white and hockey doesn't seem like a worldwide sport, because the only areas I seen where people really are into hockey is in Canada and the north and northeast part of the United States. I really found it odd that there are a lot of minority hockey fans in northern states, but there is very little minority playing hockey.

I have tried to mix in their coaching resume, tactics, player development, coaching skill, who I would want to coach my team, among other things. Keep in mind this list is purely subjective as you can't measure coaching ability with statistical analysis, the way you would when comparing players. So on that note here we go: 1. Gregg Popovich I don't think anybody would argue with Pop in the top spot. He has been doing it for 20 years, he is a 3–time Coach of the Year, and a 5–time NBA champion. Bringing LaMarcus Aldridge and, more recently, Pau Gasol to the Spurs had a lot to do with the man in charge. He has also done a great job of player development., Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, are prime examples of talent acquisition and development for Pop. He developed Kawhi Leonard into the superstar and defensive menace that he currently is and has routinely outwitted his opponents in game. Pop has done a fantastic job extending the careers of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, and Parker by being one of the rest day pioneers and maximizing his rotation players. He has taken players such as Danny Green and Boris Diaw, that seem like misfits elsewhere, and turns them into contributors. There is a reason veterans flock to the Spurs, because Popovich routinely gets the most out of them and gives them the best chance to win. 2.

With the emergence of an NBA "super teams" there is only about 3 teams out of 30 which have a certain chance to even "contend" for a championship. But this was all different about 7 years ago. About 7 years ago, the first ever NBA "super team" came together; The Miami Heat. The team consisted of Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. Clearly all superstar talents, the Heat were the favorites to win the 2010–11 NBA championship.

Meanwhile, Wiggins is an upcoming player that have the potential of becoming a superstar someday. On the other hand, Butler will reunite him with coach Thibodeau so familiarity to the system will not be a problem. Playing him alongside Zach Lavine and Karl–Anthony Towns will definitely give the Timberwolves a competitive lineup.

Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs and Mike D'Antoni of the Houston Rockets have their teams poised to advance to the Conference Finals and contend for a championship.

His San Antonio Spurs have perfected a ball movement friendly coordinated ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Throughout the series, we have seen the Spurs transition from keeping up with the Rockets uptempo style, to enforcing their defensive prowess, and disrupting the game plan of Houston. We have seen Houston, however, expand the floor and knock down the long ball at a tremendous rate. Going forward, there are issues that both coaches need to fix. For one, the free flowing Houston offense is slowly but surely reverting back to heavy reliance on James Harden. D'Antoni needs to implement more of his bench, generate even more points inside the 3 point arc, and find a way to contain Kawhi Leonard. For Pop, closing out the series will mean exploiting Houston in every way possible. Without Nene, and an incompetent Ryan Anderson on defense, the coaching staff needs to ingratiate Pau Gasol into the offense more effectively. 4 points in 20 minutes for a future Hall–of–Famer, no matter how old, is unacceptable, and like we've seen with the great Eric Spoelstra in Miami during the big 3 era, Pop has to dump the ball into Gasol to get him going the way Spo did Chris Bosh. This way there is more cohesion on the offensive end and more guys are in rhythm when slumps occur.

The sport is played in elementary school, in middle school, and most common in physical education. There are stories of somebody hurting themselves playing this game. Injuries are a part of society, accidents happen everyday, even the smallest misstep as a twisted ankle could end up being an injury. Injuries are random events that will happen throughout our lives, but when an injury affects an entire sports organization, there is definitely more at stake. Paul George was an all– star, an MVP candidate, and the man that was about to help the Indiana Pacers finally dethrone the king, Lebron James. But that all changed in August of 2014. Paul George was playing in a friendly scrimmage for the USA Olympic basketball team. George was running back on defense against one of the other players, James Harden, when Paul awkwardly landed against the stanchion, the section of the basketball hoop that juts into the ground. The bone snapped in the middle of his ankle and knee, not where you're supposed to break anything. The leg had broken through the skin and started to pierce through the leg.

He has five world championships, an MVP award, two scoring titles, 18 All Star appearances, is third all–time in points scored...you get the point. Ever since Bryant announced he would retire at the end of this season, in a poem published in The Players Tribune, he's had a farewell tour the likes of which only Derek Jeter could top. Every opposing team regales him with presents. Fans who for years hated him are now lovingly cheering him on. The media can't get enough of him, and he, in turn, is soaking it all up. Which is fine. Who am I to say what Kobe deserves? My only point is that, lost in the hoopla surrounding Kobe's farewell tour, two equally deserving players that haven't announced their retirement but seem destined to do so after year's end are being brusquely overlooked. Way I see it, there are three main reasons Kobe is getting so much attention while Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, two exceptional NBA players so close to retirement themselves, are not: Kobe announced his retirement ahead of time (a trend on the rise that seems a tad–bit selfish, although exceptionally fun for fans) He plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, which means that he'll always get more of a spotlight than Duncan or KG, who are playing out their final seasons in San Antonio and Minnesota, respectively He's Kobe.

Tim Duncan o Unrestricted – San Antonio Spurs 2015: 13.9 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 3.0 apg The latter part of Tim Duncan 's career has featured him at the center position. However, history will remember him as a power forward and he played last season at the four (but if my Lamarcus Aldridge prediction holds true he may be moving back to center). In all reality, determining which position Duncan should be listed may be more exciting than speculating on his future. He is not playing anywhere but San Antonio. The real question may be will he play next season at all. If he decides to stay in the league, he needs to let the Spurs know quickly, so a deal can be reached soon to prevent a lack of cap flexibility, tying their hands with other targets (Aldridge). Duncan has taken less money for the betterment of the team through his entire career. It will be interesting to see how low the Spurs ask Duncan to go, again, as they prepare for their future without him. What should he do? The question is not if Duncan retired in a Spurs uniform, but when. 3. Kevin Love

The Disparity Caused By Market Size In The NBA The Disparity Caused by Market Size in the NBA Basketball is the fastest growing sport in the world, with 450 million people playing the sport across the globe, and over a billion people watching the National Basketball Association, or NBA (CNN 2010). However, even the casual fan of the NBA will notice that there is a certain disparity when it comes the competitiveness in the league. There are thirty teams in the NBA, yet only four teams have won a combined 44 out of a possible 71 championships. Since 2000, four teams have combined to win fourteen out of a possible eighteen championships (NBA 2017). Teams in the NBA who have a greater accessibility to financial resources are primed to be more successful, which highlights the lack of parity in the NBA, a problem that has caused unfair competition since the league's conception. NBA teams that are located in larger metropolitan areas have been more successful in the past because of their access to a larger media market, which in turn allowed for the NBA to gain much more revenue from them as compared to teams located in smaller cities. Frank P. Josza, professor of economics at Pffiefer University, states that teams located in larger markets are more successful than those which are not because of the larger potential of capital to be gained by simply being located in a city with more people (Josza 2017).

Names like Wilson Chandler and Emmanuel Mudiay are very much in play, and the team could be in the market for an upgrade at point guard. Like Indiana, their situation is very fluid and they could buy and sell at the same time. Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks have already cleared out Miles Plumlee in exchange for the more manageable contracts of Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes, and could still make some selling moves.
