October 3, 2011 Coach Powe Mid-Term (Pickle ball) Pickleball has the combined features of badminton, tennis and table tennis but also has its own unique features. This sport receives point scoring from badminton, the court structure from badminton and tennis, the net from badminton and tennis and the paddle from table tennis. The ball is plastic and contains several small holes. A game is played to 11 points. Only the server can score points – 1 point per serve.
But, as you could images, it was very difficult to hit the 3-inch ball with the lightweight badminton rackets. So the dad’s came to the rescue, making wooden rackets that resembled ping-pong paddles. As the game went on throughout the afternoon the rules developed. It was determined that players could hit the ball on the bounce just as well as out of the air, so the double bounce rule developed. Also, to keep the kids interested the net was lowered from 5 feet to 3 feet; from badminton height to tennis height.
MJ Vincent October 15, 2009 Pickleball Questions 1. Pickleball rules are similar to tennis and ping pong. 2. Yes, there is rally scoring in Pickleball. Rally scoring is when two teams hit until one team doesn’t complete a play and the other team receives the point.
History In 1865, William G. Morgan came up with an idea to combine some of the elements of sports such as basketball, tennis, handball, and baseball. William took a tennis net and placed it 6 feet 6 inches high. At this time, William called this game “Mintonette”. This game was invented in Holyoke, Massachusetts, where William lived. While playing a game of Mintonette, somebody told William that the players looked like they were “volleying the ball back and forth”, and said “volleyball” may be a more proper name for this sport.
Phil Jackson also has the highest win percentage of all-time at a whopping 0.704 (NBA.com). The next closest coach is Red Auerbach at 0.662 which is not even nearly close to Phil Jackson (NBA.com). Phil Jackson was a guru of the triangle offense, which is considered by many the best run offense. Phil Jackson incorporated the triangle offense from day one which worked well due to the fact that the system needed strong guard and wing play which the Bulls received from Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. However, the Bulls needed to acquire a strong big man to complete the triangle
Winning. Kobe Bryant is a better player than LeBron James because he is a proven winner. A ring rush of 5 championships, a compilation of game-winners, having the assassin mentality, leading by example, this is what gives Kobe the edge over LeBron. Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are both extremely gifted basketball players who possess the talent and athleticism, allowing them to be prosperous at their profession. First of all, Kobe Bryant holds the record for most three- pointers made with twelve in one game, on January 7th, 2003 vs. the Seattle SuperSonics.
When testing his accuracy they made him use an anchor’s bull eyes which is known to be very difficult to hit even in Olympics levels. When testing his accuracy they also used sensors that allows you to find out his release velocity, launch angle, and spin rate. The results for Drew was a perfect 10 out of 10 which is incredible this why he is consider one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now. His results showed that four of his darts he throw hit the center of the bull eyes. It is accurate to say that when Drew throws a pass it is always thrown with consistency with a velocity of 52 miles per hour with a identical six degree launch angle that allows his release to spin at approximately 600 rpm which creates a gyroscopic torque in which gravity tries to pull the spin of the nose downward but the aerodynamic forces of the wind that floats over the ball counter balances each other to keep the ball on target where wobble occurs as the ball spins slightly of the axis the small circle of the nose traces in the air which is what makes his throws accurate.
Jeremiah Moran Mr. Carr ENGL 101 16 March, 2011 Battle of the Supermen When most people hear superman they think of someone who has exceptional and almost superhuman abilities. In the NBA there are two players who have been given this title. The two players are Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq has been playing longer so he has better stats for his career, but he still can’t fly. Dwight Howard has the edge in many categories, such as athleticism.
His mix of power and speed to getting to the basket is undeniably the best in basketball. He has the unbelievable skill of using his size, body lean, and speed to enter the lane on fast-breaks and when isolated on a defender. No defender can stop or slow him down if they play one on one. However, Lebron does not have the completely fine tuned jump shot to be the complete scorer. This year Lebron did improve on this shot (from 31.5% to 34.4% from 3 point range), but many of his shots were when he was open.
He went from playing basketball in the backyard with his brother to a 29,000 square foot house and playing in the NBA. He is now known as the best player to ever play the game. He is the best NBA basketball player in the history of the game. His way of playing the game will always be remember. Such as the dunk from the free throw line that so many people try to attempt, but no one could do it like Michael Jordan.
