Throughout the last several years, the emergence of the point guard position in the NBA has been evident. The traditional "pass first" PG is slowly becoming more absent throughout the league. Point guards are rapidly improving from year to year and the position is very much as competitive as it has ever been in NBA history. Point guards are taking on more responsibility such as scoring the ball efficiently and more often, setting teammates up to score and defending at a high level. These guards are becoming more athletic which is essentially expanding their abilities to dominate. Chris Paul and Deron Williams were arguably the two top guards in the mid-2000's, however, the guard position has just continued to improve since then. The league has super-fast guards such as John Wall, Eric Bledsoe and Russell Westbrook. Also, there are lighting quick guards that use angles and superior…

struggling and never knowing their biological father. This also made Rose feel as if men that grew up in better conditions were less black than he was because they did not live a “black” childhood. My response to this video was that I completely agree with Jalen Rose’s statement about Duke University and the type of people they recruit and believe that the university’s recruitment is still very much the same today. I felt this way because I’m very close friends with a boy named Trevon Duval,…
drains an unbelievably deep three over Stephen Curry! The Cavs now have a three-point lead over the Golden State Warriors and are going to win the NBA Finals (Azarly).

the NBA would be the only possible thing I would be able to do in life. It did not happen and I was kind of lost for a point in my life with not knowing what to do with myself. After I graduated high school I decided eventually to go play basketball at the local junior college and it just didn’t feel the same for me and I lost a lot of confidence in myself in about everything. For the first time in my life I quit a team which was a huge mistake and something I should have stuck out and did…
team was winning. The North Shore Knights just scored another basket. All the players went to the other side of the court, except for one. She was on the ground holding her knee trying not to cry. It was Olivia, the point guard for the North Shore Knights girls basketball team. The coach came over and asked “What hurts?” he said in the nicest way possible. She grunted and kept on holding her knee. The pain was too much. Her coach paid scrupulous attention to her leg, examining it to make sure it…

told me that I was going to be in the starting lineup. The game started. The ball escalated in the air during jump ball. Both our team and the other team were playing excellent. The crowd was chanting for us and we were feeding off of their energy. The game was going back and forth. During one of the plays the ball became loose and I went to recover the ball and the 6 foot 2 player pushed me to the ground. I was so enraged that I stood up and started clapping in the boy face. The last quarter…
