    1. After seeing limited playing time during the first part of the season, Green was placed on the Fayetteville Patriots of the NBA D-League by the Celtics in January 2006. He was recalled and activated to an NBA roster position on February 3. He was reassigned to the NBDL, to the Florida Flame, on February 16. He was recalled and activated again on February 21, and saw his first significant NBA game action on the following night, scoring 13 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in 23 minutes.

      It is interesting to see how he came up from the D-League and became an NBA all-star. He had to start as a nobody and turn himself into a somebody. His rookie year he didn't get to play or score a lot but then he turned himself into a scoring machine. It was like he couldn't be guarded and it was all because of how hard he pushed himself.

    1. While curlers have previously tested positive for using banned substances in other competitions, those rare instances have not come under the glare of the Olympic spotlight when Russia is already facing questions about an alleged state-sponsored doping program.

      Sport performance drugs are taking over today's top athletes today. Athletes today are so worried about performing on a sports field that they don't realize that they are cheating themselves and the sport. It isn't fair that they are taking drugs to jump higher and hit the ball harder. Drugs are ruining today's sporting competitions.

    1. Firstly, because alcohol is a diuretic, drinking too much can lead to dehydration because the alcohol makes your kidney produce more urine. Exercising soon after drinking alcohol can make this dehydration worse because you sweat as your body temperature rises.

      It is interesting to see how much alcohol can affect an athlete. Drinking alcohol is bad for athletes because they get dehydrated from it and they can not perform as well. Proper nutrients do not circulate through your muscles when that happens they do not react as fast. Drinking also affects the liver so it doesn't produce enough glucose or sugar in our blood.

    1. “He didn’t really recruit me,” Miller said, laughing, in a phone interview from his home outside San Francisco. “He recruited my mother. I think he said about four words to me during his visit. He kept saying that when a player came to Loyola he was going to graduate in four years and he’d go to church every Sunday.

      I like all of the history in this article about how basketball was back in the 1960s. I also found it interesting how the coach didn't talk to the players individually. Instead of talking to the players, the coaches talked to their parents and told them that they were in good hands.

    1. I’m not saying we should be paying athletes $5,000 or even $10,000 per semester. If each athlete got $2,000 paid over the course of the semester, this would give them some spending cash and an opportunity to start managing their money.

      All of these universities think that if college athletes are paid then the star players are gonna make more money but when in reality a couple thousand dollars can go a long way for some of these athletes.

    2. But how much do the top NCAA executives make? About $1 million per year. Who else makes money off these near-professional level athletes? First, their own coaches. Many coaches earn at least $100,000 per year to coach one of the major sports like baseball, basketball, or football at a school.

      With the NCAA making about a million dollars per year how can they not find the money to pay them. They work just as much as professionals do and they don't have enough time to get a job.
