If everyone in the world became a multi-millionaire, would money still be viewed the same at it is today? Chances are, the value of a dollar would drop significantly. Now imagine how everyone having a degree would impact the society. Although unemployment is something that the U.S. has been dealing with, higher education should not be required of all U.S. citizens, because many people don’t use their degree, and higher education may lose its value. In today’s world there are…...

Today I would love to talk about my favorite basketball player ever, Shaquille O’Neal. Shaquille was a NBA player from 1992 to 2011. Sadly he was retired before I really got into basketball. Many people may know him as “Shaq”, “Shaq Diesel”, and “Big Daddy”. He will probably be my favorite basketball player because he was a huge dude and could break backboards. Shaq was known to break a few basketball standards in his day. He was probably the worst…...

Hall of Fame consists of legends of the past that will never be forgotten. As the president of the NBA, I would like congratulate Kobe Bryant as he’s been selected into the NBA Hall of Fame. The Black Mamba is one of the deadliest, fastest, and most feared snake in the World today. That was the description of 6’7ft 210lb Kobe Bryant on the court since he joined the league right out of high school. His nickname tells it all…...

At the age of 33, Jordan had played only 10 seasons while Bryant has played 16. Two of those seasons for Jordan saw him playing in less then 20 games. While Jordan left North Carolina after his junior season, Bryant entered the league right out of high school. Therefore Bryant basically has a three-year head start on his NBA career. Jordan only played 15 seasons compared to Bryant's 16 yet he scored nearly 3,000 more points, 800 steals, 300 blocks,…...

In my short life, if there is one thing I have noticed about the sports industry, it’s that money talks. Drew Brees just recently signed a $100 million dollar contract with the New Orleans Saints to play for five more years. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers made $25 million last year alone, while Alex Rodriguez made $32 million. This sure seems like a lot on money for men to be making just to play sports, or is it? Professional Athletes…...

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are two of the greatest basketball players to ever live. The way they play the game is memorizing. These two athletes are very extraordinary, though only one can be called the greatest of all time. The debate still and will always continue on who is the best. On one hand, there is the 6 time NBA champion in Michael Jordan; in the other there is the phenom who scored eighty- one points in one game,…...

The poem is built around the character of Flick Webb. He is the one referred to as the ex-basketball player. Flick was once a basketball superstar in his county and a record setter. “In ’46, He bucketed three hundred ninety points, A county record still. … I saw him rack up thirty eight or forty” (lines 14,15) . The narrator describes how well Flick played basketball that his record of 390 points for a season has not been surpassed. He…...

My question is: should female athletes get the same privilege as males do and receive the same amount of pay in sports. Girls spend just as much time and effort in their sport and training as males do however males bring in more money buy selling merchandise and can perform longer. Points for Cons (Against) Female athletes certainly do have the same privaledge by privileges I mean they are fully entitled to play sports professionally, and everything is almost similar,…...

Professional athletes, specifically in the NFL, NBA, and MLB, often are rewarded extremely substantial contracts and lucrative endorsement deals and it has been argued that their salaries should be reduced to smaller wages but they are paid in the way that they are for good reason; they provide the world with constant entertainment, work hard at their jobs and are only able to work for a small amount of time. In 2011, both the NFL and the NBA locked out…...
