Now Heeb is using more facts in numbers and percentages, but he makes the reader think about the NBA players salaries as if it were their own. Now instead of feeling angry toward the basketball players for being greedy; the reader feels a sense of pity. Heeb seems to focus mostly on the monetary issue of the NBA lockout whereas another writer and fan, Joe Dorish, takes a different toll on the issue and focuses mostly on the likely outcome of the lockout. In an article written by Dorish on Yahoo Sports, he addresses the NBA lockout and states that the owners will likely be the winners when the
This has been debated, fought over (I’ve seen some fights over this), and slightly overblown, Lebron vs. Kobe is the “hot button” issue that experts and simple fans alike disagree on. I’ve taken this issue and tried to look at every possible angle. Unfortunately, comparing the two is virtually impossible because of the difference in they way they play, but I will try. My biased Lakerloving opinion(yes I will admit that I’m biased [experts should admit to this too]) is that Kobe surpasses Lebron enough to be considered the better player. Here is my player Report Card for them in important basketball categories.
This basic principal of social psychology is imbedded in economics, rational choice theory, and structuralism. Generally people like to be guaranteed that whatever they invest in will pay off for them later equaling or bettering the effort, money, time and energy they’ve spend putting into someone or something. The theory uses economic terms such as benefit, gain, cost, and payment as an analogy to describe social situations. According to this belief, people consciously and unconsciously evaluate every social possibility in terms of what they will have to put into it, and relate this to the benefits they think they may get out of it. The greater the potential benefit, the greater the chances are a person would socially invest time and energy into an individual in order to form a strong and sound relationship.
Yet, if their current lineup gives them different strengths, they may flex their system or make adjustments to best take advantage of the current talent. Non-basketball leaders must do the same thing – focus on your core philosophy, yet be flexible in implementation based on the circumstances and talent on your team.”( Kevin Eikenberr). Seven Leadership Lessons from Great Basketball Coaches. After reading both of these cases I find that the leadership perspectives were congruent in influencing each of their style of leadership was very significant.

The reward/need satisfaction theory says that there are negative and positive stimuli in our lives, we repeat behaviours which produce positive stimuli and avoid negative stimuli (operant conditioning). Similarly, attraction through association links on from rewards and punishments, but follows the basis of classical conditioning. We are more likely to form a relationship with those people who are associated with pleasant event e.g.
In professional sports, a player's contract is drafted by the team, and it is the team that seeks out the services of the player. The team makes the offer and the player expresses his acceptance by signing the contract. However, if the signing is not accompanied by consideration and a withdrawal is advanced to the team before an acceptance then the signing is an authentication of a revocable offer as opposed to the formation of a binding contract. Acceptance is indicated by any showing that expresses the player's willingness to be bound by the offer's exact terms. Although sports contracts can be very complex, for this paper I will describe how a Standard Player’s Contract typically works.
Expectancy theory proposed by Victor Vroom is a theory of motivation that says, "People are motivated by their expectation of certain prospective results that will happen if they perform a certain task". People get motivated by their expectations and they will be more productive if their expectations have a good prospect of being realized. More specifically the motivation of people is driven by their want of reward. The whole expectancy theory revolves around three different types of relationships occurring between effort, performance, reward, and personal goals. 1.
The Expectancy Theory The Expectancy Theory The expectancy theory is based on the idea that people are motived when they believe they can accomplish a task for which there is a reward, and that the reward will be worth their work. The theory began with Victor Vroom’s formula, motivation=expectancy x instrumentality x valence, and is dependent upon the idea that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect behavior. The expectancy theory also holds that behavior is the decision of the individual, and the decision is based on the individual’s perception of the outcome. Vroom’s Formula Broken down, the components of Vroom’s formula reveal what must be present for motivation to take place under the theory. Expectancy is a person’s perception of his or her ability.
