because it was more accessible due to the building of large stadiums/arenas, and the invasion of the television into homes. and at that time sports was about talent and drive and heart and hard work. today, its about good publicity and arrogance and money.

Hey Would you rather be a pro basketball,baseball or football player?
Pro Baseball player! This is easy, you play during the summer, when it is warm. Baseball is also not a "contact" sport, so risk of injury is not very high. On defense you only have to do something when the ball comes to you. On offense, 3 swings and your out.
The dream athlete career is that of the relief pitcher, or closer. Get paid MEGA MILLIONS to pitch about 70 innings a year. Most games, your just sitting and watching and only playing WHEN THEY NEED YOU.
Hey Would you rather be a pro basketball,baseball or football player?nba draft
Well I never thought of it, I am much to small for football, to short, for basketball and to slow for baseball and too old for all three.
Now I where young enough and the right size football offence.

What pro basketball player is creating a $15.00 tennis shoe?
Stephen Marbury. The line is called Starbury.
What pro basketball player is creating a $15.00 tennis shoe?nba champions
thank you to everyone who replied
back in the day they were all referred to as tennis shoes Report It
What pro basketball player is creating a $15.00 tennis shoe?nba spurs ,nba teams
Stephon Marbury
it isn't a tennis shoe
Stephon Marbury and his cheap sneaker line selling for $14.98
Stephon Marbury. Starbury products.
First of all it is a basketball shoe. It is Stephon Marbury. They are called Starburys. They are already released. You can get them at Steve and Barry's Sportswear.
Shaq
That's our Stephon Marbury. He made shoes that don't cost a lot because he knows a lot of kids can't afford the 100 dollar Nikes, and he wants to show the world that it's not about how expensive your shoes are. And the only money he's making from his Starbury line is based on how much gets sold. Stephon Marbury is such a great guy. Go Knicks!!!.

What is the definition/description of "Team Rebound" in pro basketball?
A team rebound occurs when a missed shot goes out of bounds before anybody secures the rebound and your team is awarded possession. A deadball rebound occurs on a first foul shot when the ball is "dead" and the team taking the foul shots is automatically going to get another shot.
What is the definition/description of "Team Rebound" in pro basketball?nba all star game
Nevr heard of a "team rebound" in basketball....
What is the definition/description of "Team Rebound" in pro basketball?knicks ,nba teams
A rebound in basketball is the act of successfully gaining possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or free throw. Rebounds in basketball are a major part in the game, as most possessions change after a missed shot. Rebounds are divided into two categories: offensive rebounds, in which the ball is recovered by the offensive side and does not change possession, and defensive rebounds, in which the defending team gain possession of the loose ball. Most rebounds are defensive because the team on defense tends to be in better position (in other words, closer to the basket) to recover missed shots. Offensive rebounds lead to another opportunity to score for the offensive team, either right away or reseting the offense.
Rebounds are credited to the first player that gains clear possession of the ball, or to a player that successful deflects the ball into the net for a score. Height, jumping ability, timing and positioning are all required for good rebounding abilities. Because height is very important, many rebounds are made by centers and power forwards. Statistics on a player's "rebounds per game" (RPG), both offensive and defensive, are often kept and are a measure of a player's effectiveness.
Dennis Rodman was considered one of the best rebounders in the NBA. He managed to lead the league in rebounding for seven straight seasons despite generally not being one of the tallest or largest players on the court. One of the skills of his rebounding was "tipping", meaning that when the ball was close enough to him to touch, but too far for him to immediately take firm grasp of it, he would use his fingers to attempt tip the ball in a very controlled fashion--either to himself, into basket for a goal, or to a particular spot on the court where one of his teammates would have the best chance to recover it.
Wilt Chamberlain led the NBA all-time in rebounds statistically, and thus is considered by some to be the best rebounder of all-time. Others debate this, as Chamberlain played in an era in which players took more shot attempts than basketball players today. Other great rebounders in the NBA are Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Kevin Garnett, Ben Wallace.
Because fighting for a rebound can be very physical, rebounding is often regarded as part of "dirty work" or "hustle" plays.
In sports photography, what shutter speed is good for indoor pro basketball, using 800 iso?
There's no set in stone answer to this. Basically, set it as fast as you can possibly can without underexposing the picture. Set your aperture to be wide open, and increase your shutter speed until your light meter shows perfect exposure or slightly underexposed. You can usually correct for slight underexposure in post-processing, especially if you shoot in RAW, and it will allow you to make the shutter speed slightly faster. If the arena is brightly lit, it shouldn't be a big problem; if it's dim, you'll have problems. This is why pro sports photographers pay big bucks for fast telephoto lenses. You can rent one from a local camera shop if this is a one-time gig.
In sports photography, what shutter speed is good for indoor pro basketball, using 800 iso?sports tickets
I would strive for at least 1/200 (even though you should really be going faster) witha f/2.8 lens. I usually get only 1/80 in a normal high school gym with 1600 ISO with f/2.8
In sports photography, what shutter speed is good for indoor pro basketball, using 800 iso?concert tickets ,nba teams
do what even says, then visit his web site and tell him what his work is like
i think its top - topish
First: the shutter speed that will be good for indoor basketball will be the same regardless of ISO. The question is what ISO you will have to use at a given aperture to get the shutter speed you need. I would suggest that you'll need to be pushing 1600 to get the shutter speed that it will take to stop fast moving pro athletes, unless you've got some very fast glass (IE 200mm f/1.8)
You'll probably need to shoot at minimum 1/200th to stop motion. I'd go higher if you have fast enough glass to support it, and the light will allow.
EDIT: Also realize that pros are often using multiple strobes tripped wireless-ly to shoot pro hoops.
When I shoot NBA %26amp; WNBA games, I set my camera to ISO 1600 and shoot with my lenses wide open. If I had a f/2.8 lens in my arsenal, then I could drop down to ISO 800.
The basic rule of thumb is to shoot no slower than the focal length of your lens. That means, with my 75-300mm, I have to stay at 1/250 or above. When I switch camera bodies and use an 18-70mm, then I still stay at 1/250.
Anything slower usually results in a well exposed blur.
You CAN switch to a slower speed, dependent on how steady you are, for timeouts and freethrows. I've gotten some great closeups during freethrows, slowing down the shutterspeed so I could stop down and increase depth of field.
I tried using ISO 800 before, but there too many opportunities lost in a fast moving game.

Does anyone have knowledge about American Pro Basketball???
I have 3 questions:
Question #1
Is the WNBA still active and around, or
has it failed? If it hasn't failed, and is
still functioning as a commercial entity,
why doesn't it have the same
exposure as far as games shown,
and ESPN highlights, as NBA
basketball? Because it's
very unpopular??
Question #2
Why is the NBA so screwed
up??
Why do they call their
Season ending championship,
a World title, when at best
it's a Professional National
title, and at worse, a league
championship? And no, just
because they have players from
around the world, doesn't mean
their League championship is a
World title.
Question #2-B
Why can't the NBA make
its team brand names make
sense?
Are there any Timberwolves
in Minnesota?
Is there any Jazz in Utah?
What do Nuggets have to
do with Denver?
Does anyone have knowledge about American Pro Basketball???nba 07
answer to question #1 is yes they are still in business and still very much competitive but not on the business and commercial end. attendances has been dropping the past few years for wnba games and it has hurt the league more than anything else.
but no they have no plans of wrapping it up and shutting it down, in fact? i heard they are looking to expand the league with 2 more teams?!.
answer to question #2 is the title of "world champions" has been used for the nba first because basketball originated in america more than 100 years ago! and the title has stuck with the nba because we were the first official league ever established. nowadays of course there is a real world championship of basketball and the title is for whoever wins the tournament is called "world champions of basketball" world champions of the nba....here in america the main reason why its still called world champions is because we have teams in canada and canada is not part of the USA so that is the real reason why we say "nba world champs" and not "world champions of basketball" which is a different tournament.
answer to question 2-b is yes they do have wolves in minnesota, and utah has a very diverse jazz history if you researched you'd find that out and they call them denver the nuggets because of its history of gold mining and pan handling in colorado.
Does anyone have knowledge about American Pro Basketball???sports tickets ,nba teams
There's no jazz in utah.
You're one weird weird person!
1. Yes the WNBA is still functioning and operating. The WNBA doesn't get as much exposure as the NBA, because it's not as popular as the NBA.
2A. They call it the World Championship because they're the best Pro League N the World, they have the best players
2B. Alot of teams got their names because they were in different locations and moved to another city. Are because the mascot represent the city are the region.
They are called the Minnesota Timberwolves got their name because their is small amount of Timberwolves, which are native to Minnesota
There isn't any Jazz in Utah. The Jazz got their name because they started out in New Orleans where Jazz is prominent. They then moved to Utah and just kept the name for the Franchise.
The Denver Nuggets got their names because of thr history of the city. Denver was founded as a mining town for Gold. Gold so the name Denver Nuggets

What is the name of the song used for many player introductions in pro sporting events?
The title of the song used by many pro basketball teams when introducing players is escaping me. Anyone have any titles that I might look into. I have the theme in my head, but I can't figure the title. It's not Sirius or Thunderstruck...but in that family.
Thanks!
What is the name of the song used for many player introductions in pro sporting events?nba tv
Probably Gary Glitter's Rock %26amp; Roll Part Two (lots of guitar and synths, then people scream YEAH, then it pretty much loops)
We will rock you, by Queen. If there is alternating stomping and clapping this is probably your song.

Why don't pro and collegiate basketball players block out?
It's probably the easiest and best way to get a rebound. If the ref's doing his job, an opposing players who jumps over your back for the rebound will get called for a foul. All I ever see when I watch pro orcollegegames are people jumping around like a bunch of apes as soon as a shot goes up. From elementary all the way to my senior year of high school I was taught to block out. What happened to this basic fundamental?
Why don't pro and collegiate basketball players block out?fan gear
They don't? Since when?
If you've ever seen pro-level baskeball from up close like I have, you'd realize that they are so tall and quick that they can get to rebounds way above the rim. Many of them still box out but it just happens so quick that it's hard to see.
Next time you're watching a game, don't watch the ball. Watch the guys underneath and you'll see many of them box out when shots go up.
Why don't pro and collegiate basketball players block out?nba draft ,nba teams
Easy man this is basic theres no need to because they will just out jump them anyway I no it is bad fundamentals but theres no need and the players are going to contest them because they no there going to lose so they might as well save there energy.
Simple Fact:
Dennis Rodman isnt in the league anymore...
What happened to most basic fundamentals?

I don't think that will be a problem - your difficulty will be with the university with which you're studying. Will they allow you to travel overseas? Will you have difficulties contacting your adviser when you need their input? How many hours during the season will you have to work on your program? Consider all the variables - pro and con - before you decide.

Which college basketball players turning pro will be the best in pro?
Beasley or Derick Rose will be the best. Gordan's nice too. Hibbert got a long way to go...hes gonna get exposed the first few year. Don't sleep on Douglas-Roberts hes the best 1on1 player in college. Earl Clark from Louisville got potential to kill in the league long term but should have stayed in school cuz he still needs to develop more. Mayo and Love are way overrated.

micheal beasely
what
Tyler hansborough..he is so much like bill laimbeer.
OJ Mayo!!
Immidate impact probably Beasley, two to three years down the line it will be Rose from Memphis. He will be a top tier pg but the transition may take a year or two, I have never seen a more talented point guard as a freshman in college. his size, quickness, IQ, defense and shot. team first mentality. Any team would be a fool to draft Beasly over him.
NBA basketball leauge
How about Ty Lawson, GO HEELS!!
Kevin Love if he bulks up a little bit
Kevin Love - UCLA, Brandon Rush - Kansas or Derrick Rose out of Memphis are all quality draft picks. If Michael Beasley comes out, he may be the best all-around player.
Oh yeah, OJ Mayo was a good choice too.
Candace Parker
Beasley will be like Lebron if he improves his shooting
It's too early but Beasley is probably the best suited for the NBA.
6'10" power forward/center, basically a larger version of Amare Stoudamire.

yes u can but like my 6th grade teacher always told me wehen i would ask him the same thing he would say well how long to practice in a day...and ill say well 15 to 30 min if im with my bro playing? but by myself 5 to 10 min and then hed say alright alright now wut about this how many days do u do this and i would say really whenever im sad or boerd or its really nice out? and he would say honey ull never be pro like that u have to practice everyday from a 1/2 hour to an hour to make it to pro
goodluck?
You can play pro if you just keep working on strength, ball handling, and shooting. If you have ever watched the Monarchs they just added A'Quonesia Franklin and she is 5-4. She is the back up point guard for them.
Height is a factor but Spud Webb was a Slam Dunk Champion in the NBA...
as far as women's league is concerned though i dont have much ideas on it...
but as the TV ads said: Impossible Is Nothing... go for it with your best shot ^^ its the talent that counts more than the height...
dont belive your doctor if you want any thing you will do
Iwant your email to have chat with you My email is
Nagashy_1995@yahoo.com
I am also 13 years old My Name is Mohamed.Nagi
so I think we would understand each other
I wish I helped you
Hell yea girl!!! Go for it! You can do whatever you put your mind to! Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do it. And for the people who don't believe in you, you will just show them up big time when you do do it!
Hon, you can't look that far into the future. One torn muscle and you playing basketball competitively could be all over. Try setting smaller goals for yourself, like first making your junior high team, then doing well in h.s., etc.
Of course it would be possible. You can do anything you put your mind to. Hard work and dedication. You have to be driven and goal oriented. If someone tells you know, work that much harder.
Anything is possible, no Dr should tell you how tall you will be, that's absurd. Be whoever and whatever you want to be, if you have a dream then go for it, don't let anyone hold you back. God Bless.
it is possible but it will take alot of work. Size isnt as big a deal in the wnba as it is in the nba. You wont see alot of 6 ft pg in the wnba. Keep practicing hard a u can do it
You have 3 things going against you:
- you're a girl
- you're only 5'4"
- you know how to use a computer
However, I say go for it! WNBA is your best shot (pun intended)
No you will probobly not be possible unless you like being stuffed alot! Maybe If you can dunk it by your freshman year but i doubt it!
No.
You are too short. Won't matter how good a shot you are.
Instead, take up studying and become a doctor. Even short ones are superstars.
yes however teams might say that your short and you might not start just because of that however you could make it
Good Luck
FORGET ALL THE DOUBTERS!!!!!!!!!DONT listen to any discouragments!You have just as much chance as anyone else!!!
Keep working hard!And play the game that you love!!!NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Not that enough information BUT 5ft 4???? i dont want to kill your dream but ur gonna have to be like a majician with the ball.
It is totally possible. i think u would make a fantastic basketball player.
anything is possible
probably not sorry but dont ever stop cause of your height! Cause you never know
you need to be taller. sorry. they want a little more height in the WNBA
keep working hard and you'll make it!
your going to be too short.
but other then that. keep working!

Is there any truth to the saying "First team to 100 wins" in pro basketball?
"First team to 100 wins" is a oft-said saying in basketball. Is there any truth to it statistically?
Is there any truth to the saying "First team to 100 wins" in pro basketball?nba lottery
It is a fairly good rule of thumb. In a lot of games, the score does not get to 100 points, usually it stays in the 90's. So, if a team does get there, and gets there for first, its usually towards the very end of the 4th quarter. Of course, the exception is usually the Phoenix Suns, who can score 100 points at will, but can also give up over 100 points because they don't play defense.

Basketball because there are only 5 players on the Court at one time. Dividing by 5 is easier than dividing by 6 so averages are more plentiful.
Volleyball players, All The Way. No Contest.
One source says NBA players have average vertical leap of only 28." Another states most NBA players fall between 28" and 34." There have been some NBA players with awesome vertical leap like MJ, Spud Webb, Dominick Wilkins, Sean Kemp, Vince Carter and so on. These players created the stereotype that all NBA players can jump very high. However, there are not that many centers or power forwards who can jump high. These giants have standing reach of over 9 feet so they don't need to jump high to be able to dunk. They have the height and reach but not the jump.
In fact, pro basketball players have relatively short vertical jump. Athletes involved in explosive sports like football and Olympic lifting have much higher vertical leap.
Former US Olympic volleyball team member Steve Timmons had 46" of vertical jump and Cuban volleyball player Leonel Marshall is claimed to have 50" vertical. Even the top jumpers from NBA don't even come close. Kobe Bryant is one of the best jumpers in NBA and has 38." Athletes who can jump 40" or better are very rare in any sport.
This stereotype about NBA players having super vertical leap is just a myth that's statistically disproved.
i would think volleyball players..but it is a tight race... they both jump pretty high.
i wuold say vball players especailly the front row people cuz they are constantly jumping up to hit balls. thats what their position just does

I'd say they are close but volleyball requires more finesse.

How much does a German Pro Basketball player make?
I know it probably vary's on the skill level, and its probably nothing near what US players make. But i know a person i went to school with, he played for Central Flordia, and now plays for a team over in Germany in some Euro League, i was just wondering how he's doing for him self money wise, or is he living off peanuts just waiting to get spotted by a team over here?

BEATING DEFENSIVE PRESSURE
What do you do when a defender gets up in your grill, and pressures you with extreme body-to-body pressure? He's frustrating you, taking you out of your rhythm and ability to square up to the goal. For some players, their best basketball moves simply won't work in this situation. So most players just pass, or dribble backwards, or even worse back up on their heels and lose their ability to attack. The result is often a turnover. And this is exactly what the defense wants.
But, as Coach Torbett says, you must not show fear. “You must meet pressure with aggression.” If the defense plays you this tight, you must make him pay by driving past him, straight to the goal. The question is, how do you do it? How do you drive past a defender who won't even allow you to get into the Triple Attack Position?
I need a real basketball pro to answer this question?nba free agents
The answer lies in the Quadruple Attack Position. Your coach may not know this. That means there are 4 things you can do with the ball. The 4th thing = fake and that's the key. Shot, pass and foot fakes.
Your defender is playing ultra aggressive. Dribbling backwards does nothing except tell him that what he is doing is bothering you. You don't want to dribble EVER until he makes the first move. Make a good pass fake and watch his reaction. That means no matter how much the pressure, you MUST be facing him. If he moves a step or even leans in the direction of the fake. you dribble by him on the opposite side. Use what I call an 'explode' dribble by getting the ball out on the floor. You can take one stride legally when you dribble which is around 5-6'. Your dribble must be out past your stride by another 5-6'. Practice this. I have my students start about six feet out beyond the 3-pt arc. From there they are expected to get to the basket in just one dribble and lay it in. At first they look at me like I'm crazy. But with a little practice they find they can do it.
A good fake will at least get him off balance, then one dribble gets you past him and you go to the hole or pull up and shoot the 'J'.
You must practice your fakes (use a full length mirror for this) until they look realistic. Then he won't get close to you again. By the way, not wearing deodorant also helps you create the space you need.
I need a real basketball pro to answer this question?nba logo ,nba teams
when u are already using your driblle get low and protect the ball then relax your body because then the defnse relaxes then use a burst of speed to turn the corner. then when u go by them switch hands so they dont reach from behind when u attack the baskets stay under controll because u may have open teamates under the basket rady to finish with a bucket and if there good a dunk. in the triple threat position if they are forcing you in a direction go the other way and attack their lead foot because then they must turn before they can even think to run with you. use a lot of jab steps and use differnt basketball tapes rick torbert is an idiot i should say that i just dont like his methods. listen to me i played varsity as a freshman last year
That is kind of a vague question as no position or situation is specifically described.
Basketball is a team game, so there are so many options that a book could be written about this one scenario.
First, the best way to avoid this situation is never to get in this situation.
Second, playing team offense, a pass is a good way out of this situation and then run around using screens trying to rub this guy off if you want the ball back.
Second (part II), playing team offense, use a screen to rub this guy off of you.
Third, shoot a jumper over the defender and hit nothing but net. This will get his attention. I mean is the defender Superman or something.
Fourth, as the defender is so close, it should be somewhat easy for a decent basketball player to get by the defender as the offensive player can go either left or right and the defender never knows what the offensive player is going to do.
So, some times you will just have to pull up and take a jumper over the defender. If you can't do this, then either you are playing the best defender around or you haven't spent enough time practicing your personal game.
Next option is blow past this guy either to his left or his right at full speed, stop on a dime, and pull up for a mid range jumper.
Next option is blow past this guy either to his left or his right at full speed and go all of the way to the hole where you have to be good enough to get the ball in the hole over maybe some 6' 11" defender who is moving over to help out.
As part of the first option which is just to shoot the ball, I personally always liked the behind the back dribble to get the ball on whichever side you want to shoot from and shoot either a straight up jumper or a fade away jumper, but I only had to do this once or twice in a game situation.
The best shot I ever saw from the perimeter was by an extremely pressured and closely guarded Brian Winters shooting a behind the back dribble fade away three point jumper several feet behind the three point line to hit nothing but net at the buzzer to send the game either into the first overtime or second overtime where Milwaukee eventually lost in three overtimes.
Hey, if you can't do stuff like this, then you haven't done enough individual practice daily, every day for years.
Yeah, if you are the average player who does not do a lot of individual practice, then you are not going to be able to handle a situation like this.
Basketball is a team game and there are things like screens or passing the ball to one of the other 4 players on the team who will have a better opportunity to score.
I mean if you are playing the best defensive player around, you will have to do a lot of work and moving without the ball and using screens from teammates if you want to be the one who scores.
But, who says you have to be the one who tries to take every shot?
Okay, if you are playing 1 on 1, then that is different, and blowing by the guy to either take a mid range jump shot or going all of the way to the hole should be done fairly easily.
It takes a lot of individual practice time to improve a game to handle the "extreme pressure" situations, but it can be done.
Anything can be done and overcome, but it requires a lot of skill which can only be obtained from a ton of individual practice.
I do agree that you cannot and should not show fear particularly if you have practiced enough of your individual skills. Even not showing fear but having fear inside is as bad as showing fear. You have to be good enough to beat any defender, or otherwise, why even bother to walk onto a basketball court.
I definitely do not agree that you must meet pressure with aggression unless you call putting the ball in the hole aggression. You beat anything in basketball the easiest way by scoring.
Also, you do not always meet pressure with aggression. Like on a full court press, if that is ever played anymore since "The Wizard of Westwood" retired and before the advent of the "Hack a Shaq" defense, the best way to beat the pressure of a full court defense was to dribble into the strength of the full court defense in order to draw a double team as you want to attract the defensive double team in kind of a "Venus Fly Trap" manner, but the offensive player must pass to the open offensive teammate just a fraction of a second before the double team meets the original offensive player. I would call this beating pressure by suckering the defense.
Yes, in football, you must meet pressure with aggression, but not in basketball as there are so many ways to beat pressure through both poise and teamwork.
You have to sometimes lower your shoulder if the D is playing that tight. If your best move isn't working, then you haven't practiced it good enough. The truth is, there is no miracle thing to break past the pressure. It is a matter of instinct and agression.
You copied that straight from the betterbasketball website. I bet Rick Barry knows the answer. :)
first off if he is up at you face and pressuring you
he probably is grabbing and pushing you too,
you need to create space first, if they get
physical you need to use your legs, hips, elbows
to knock them off, usually as Charles Barkley
says at the beginning of the game, just give them
a real good hard elbow to the chest so they
keep away from you.
no if he is not grabbing or pushing, cross-over
or miss direction plays work well to get the
space, fake left, go right, or even if you are
shooting, double pump to get them off their feet.
Use their aggression against them.
as far as often the result being turnover, not true,
if you have good ball handling skills, and are
a physically strong player, you can dribble inside
and draw the fouls and make the shots. So do
weights, and work on your ball handling skills.
but my advice is knock them off on their behind
at the beginning so they keep their distance.
it really is about who control the game, if you
let him ride you, its all over.
This may sound easier said than done, it is all about a good first step.
Pass the ball up and demand for it back.
Receive the ball with both hands, and secure it.
Don't dribble until you gather yourself from receiving the ball and is facing the net and know where all other 8 players are.
As long as you still have your first step, you should be able to get by any tight coverage if you are a decent player.
The defense may back off because you never dribble yet to prevent this, if this is the case, do a fake shot attempt, to suck him in, then either go up to draw a foul or go by him.
You need to have hand just like George Costanza said so in Seinfeld (Although his situation is for breaking up). As long as you have not start dribbling, you have hand as the offensive player.
its kinda complicated but u gotta make him think that you are at his mercy
Play it like his defense is overwhelming and then just give a quick jab step
if the defender is that much up on you then he will go for it every time and u will make him look like a fool
Ask someone to give you a screen then drive then pop back out to the screener and let im shoot. But if you're a Gilbert Arenas, shoot behind the screener or do a running jumper or fade away shot.
Well if your a righty make sure you get low and bend ur knees then give the defender a little jab step, if he doesnt back off for righties take your left foot cross the opponets body then make sure you re left foot is in front of his left foot, which is in defense position.then turn your shouders in front of the defender and burst..once your shoulder is front of thedefender he cannot get back in position and the only way to stop you is to foul you....probally going to need to read it more then once but effective.
Pick and Roll and Ball screen is your best bet. Also, they are at the risk of getting into foul trouble if they are playing airtight. So try to initiate the contact as your last resort, but don't force it, or it will be an offensive foul.
You have to have a killer crossover if you wanna take that kind of defender one - on - one.
Like I said before, pick and roll is the best option. It worked for Malone and Stockton, and works for most teams.
triple attack is kind of a complicated strategy in pressure defense, specially man 2 man. but coupled with a pick, it can work.
yeah coach is right "you must meet presure with agression" soooo tackle.I I mean "stick" the mutha fuka with your shoulders in his chest.it works for me and i get to the basket easy.go Rockets!!!
Try to get the ball in a triple threat position. Face him. Try a fake step to create seperation. If you sell it you got him. As he recovers you can do any number of things. Fake a shot to get him to reach and then blow by him. If you are a confident shooter with the skill enough to shoot with a hand in you face, that seperation can get you the look. But the idea is to get him in a recovery position. This should be pretty easy to do since he is over playing you anyway. The harder and closer he is playing you the the faster and more dramatic his reactions have to be to keep up. And this is the advantage. I hope this helps. It should be alot easier to show you though. Remember: They can't stop me EVER. No Way, No How. This is my House!!!
whatever u do dont let him get in ur head. make him fear u. dont be intimidated. always keep the defender guessing. its very simple, if the defender is all up in ur grill and playing u tight, pull a pump fake and drive on him. dont be afraid to be physical. if he's playing loose, fake a drive and pull for the J. u can always use ur body to catch the ball (watch Kobe). once u do, bring the ball and low and be in the triple attack position. there are a wide array of moves to do: jab steps, pump fakes, crossovers. Use ur STRENGTH to drive. there are many moves: power hops, spins, etc. just watch videos of great players: michael jordan, kobe, dwyane wade, etc. good luck.
Get low protect the ball stick your head out and work on your strength and speed.

Is the Basketball hoop set at the same height for both Pro and Amateur Players? Why?
I have often wondered why the very tall pro Basketball players (who are often the same height as the hoop) get to play with such a huge advantage. Shouldn't pro hoops have the same height difference as you see, for example, in a high school game with average-height players, where the hoop is way over their heads? Wouldn't it take more skill, then?
Is the Basketball hoop set at the same height for both Pro and Amateur Players? Why?nba playoff schedule
It is a good thought to have the professional hoop higher, but that would take away a lot of exciting dunks, and the NBA does not want to lose any excitement. It is a business.
Is the Basketball hoop set at the same height for both Pro and Amateur Players? Why?nba shop ,nba teams
All regulation basketball goals are set at 10 feet in height. If you see any "very tall pro basketball players who are the same height as the hoop," please contact the people at the Guiness Book of World Records immediately.
The basketball rim is set at 10 ft tall. This standard for the game of basketball unless we are talking about under age teams with 6yr olds or younger. They are lowered for them.
Plus, if the rims were set at different heights,we wouldn't be playing an International tournaments. It would be unfair to have our pros change their game to a "shorter" rim.
I still think it is weird that we have to change to international rules for tournaments / olympics even though we (america) invented the game....
The height for all regulation basketball rims is 10 feet. I feel that on the proffessional level, the height should be raised to 12 feet because the players are just too big. 6'5" is considered small!!
It would, but everyone just adheres to the standard set by the inventor of bball whnere the peach basket was 10 ft.
its supposed to be 10 foot for everywhere but all goals especially at the high school level are not exactly 10 feet - and 2 or3 inches turns into miles when you are trying to jump up there to it - i had a friend that played incollegefor a small school and said mostcollegegyms the rim height was inconsistent too

A slow game (with lots of interruptions, fouls, timeouts, etc.) in addition to potential overtime can push it to or above 2.5 hours, but this is rare. If you allocate 2.5 hours, you will be fine!
How long do pro basketball games usually last?nba ballers ,nba teams
like 2-3 hours, but if theres over time then it's probably 3 hours and 30 mins
depends, without overtime of 5 minutes, it's 2.5 hr. If there's overtime, with it's commercial breaks it's a little above 2.5 hrs. more like 2 hr. 45 min.
It's 4 quarters of 12 minutes. Overall 48 minutes. Sometimes thing get delayed or people get hurt go it should originally be 2 hours 30 minutes but if stuff goes wrong like i just mentioned..it will be between 2 - 3 hours. Unless they go into overtime which is 5 minutes per 1. 53 minutes for 1 full game and one full overtime which sometimes happens alot. So you ask where all the hours come from in a short period of basketball time?... it's the fouls and the timeouts and the end of the quarters and half time which take out lots and lots of time.
around 2 hours
About two, two and a half hours....interesting question
Usually, a little over two hours, but if it is televised, more like two and a half for the TV timeouts.
48 minutes -- four 12-minute quarters. Overtimes are 5 minutes apiece.
around 2 hours
half time is like a half an hour long
and quarter breaks r like 2 minutes long
and they also over exxaggerate on the 20 second timeouts
they give them like 40 seconds on the 20 second timeouts because they have to do commercials
so it all rounds up to about 2 hours
2.5 hours tops

Pro basketball started in 1898, however, there were no superstar players until the 1920's. I'll name a few:
Joe Lapchick
Dutch Denhert
Nat Holman
John Beckman
Charles "Tarzan" Cooper
These weren't the first official superstars but they were the superstars of that time.

haha...basketball was definitely not invented in 1946.
In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith,[1] a Canadian physical education student and instructor at YMCA Training School[2] (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters to keep the students in shape.
The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20, 1892 with nine players and the game ended at 1-0 and the shot was made from 25 feet
Women's basketball began in 1892.
The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation and to promote a less rough game
basketball was invented in 1946, the ABA was founded by Murice Loofer in 1957. The ABA later combined with NBA to form the league today in late 60's.
Not really sure about superstars, doubt they even have that word back then, but you can probably search who is the 1st player named to the 50 greatest player.
Right after WW2, the pro league started. Mikan was the first pro superstar coz' before him the league was not as recognized yet as baseball. He was the white 7 feet behemoth, unstoppable until the very first black superstar, Russell, came %26amp; dominated basketball for a decade. If ya can buy a cd NBA at 50, it will prove what I mean. You'd enjoy it to thae max
Good times bro
The NBL (National basketball league) started in 1937, and continued until the NBA began in 1947. There were also leagues in Pennsylvania in 1910s and 20s, but as far as superstars, there's no names I can recognize as well as Mikan's.
the NBA started in 1946. the first superstar was george mikan of the minneapolis lakers. he dominated the 1950s.
George Mikan, first great Center, he played for the Lakers from the inception of the NBA in 1946 to the mid 50's i believe
