Basketball

it was way back in the middle ages when they had a basket and a ball. The game was much different then but it is still the same concept, getting the ball in the basket. Sir Treson Basket invented it

There are a few different types of point guards that play the game. However, all point guards should be able to bring the ball up the court, be the leader of the team, call out plays when needed, and be able to make assists. The different types of point guards range from Allen Iverson type guards who look for their shot more to Steve Nash type point guards who are pass first point guards to Jason Kidd type point guards who are the "do everything" point guard to the Magic Johnson point guards who are taller for their position.

Yes, it is legal UNLESS you have city ordinances saying otherwise (or neighborhood covenants). Go research your neighborhood covenants and city ordinances. These can usually be found at your local courthouse and/or recording office (where property deeds are recorded).

Many people will reply by stating "their" favourite player is the best. But, according to stats the best raptor player is Chris Bosh, due to his average of 23 points per game; 10 rebounds per game; 3 assists; and 1 block per game. This is very good compared to everyone else on the Toronto Raptors; for instance Jose Calderon, Andrea Bargani, etc., that's why he is known as the best raptor player today. Hope that helps.

Someone that likes basketball makes a good supporter !

You need a basic jockstrap. Like the kind you wear for gym. I favor the Duke Pro brand which you can buy at WalMart for, like, five bucks. Been wearing Dukes for many years. They are very durable and make playing the game a whole lot more comfortable. Get one size larger than you normally would wear to account for shrinkage of the jock in the laundry. Some guys would argue that a soft plastic cup is also a good idea. I haven't been beaned in the groin with a basketball yet. Maybe if I had, I'd be recommending a soft cup, too, but personally I think it would just get in the way. One thing you don't want to do is buy a "cup supporter" with the idea of just using the supporter. The pouch on these doesn't support anything but the cup. Without it, you might as well wear a flimsy piece of fabric. Compression shorts with an athletic supporter built in is another option. Personally I hate them. Too much binding and restriction on movement.

The bench on a basketball court is positioned along the side, parallel to the length of the court. Each team's bench is separated by the tables for the shot clock operator, scorers, replay officials, and commentators.
