What percent of Americans watch or play basketball?
0.0015% (of the men in the 20 - 35 age group) U.S. Population -- 300,000,000 (about) Men in U.S. population aged 20 - 35 -- 10% or 30,000,000 Number of players with NBA contracts now -- 450 (30 teams, 15 per team) 30,000,000 / 450 = 0.000015 = 0.0015 % (1 man in 66,667 men aged 20 - 35) If you want the percent of all Americans who make it, divide that percentage by 20 to account for the women and for the rest of the age groups that were left out of the first calculation. 0.0015 % divided by 20 = 0.00075 %, or 1 man in 1,333,333 Americans. All we can do is make estimates. That is all that have been supplied here, and they are rough ones. There are a good handful NBA players under 20, and only a few in the 30 to 35 age group. If your desire is for more accuracy, please consult the NBA and the U.S. Census Bureau's web sites where you can get all the statistics you can do. It's a small percentage, is it not? And if anyone is going to even have a shot at going to the NBA, that person is identified in high school - if not sooner. There are few slots and many, many, many desiring and talented players who want them. Additionally, the NBA has a habit of importing players from abroad if they have the skill and ability necessary to make the cut. (Basketball isn't confined to the U.S. any more.) If you have plans to go to the NBA, be sure to complete course work (doing a good job) in a field you like and obtain a degree. With that and a modestly developed back up plan you will find success if you cannot get an NBA contract. Good luck.
How much money does a professional sports trainer make a year?
full time-$17,000-$30,000/year
on a pro team- up to $200,000/year
580,000.. Depending on Postion of ranking and location within the world and/ or state/ territory
It depends, they can make between 20-60,000 a yr. I heard of some making 80k a year. It just depends on how experienced you are and who you are working for. For example, if you are high school trainer you are not going to be making a lot. However, if you work for a college or Pro team you'll be making a lot more.
How do you clean a baseball bat without harming the paint?
There are a lot of do's and don'ts when doing this. First of all, DO NOT use any sort of metal polish or aluminum cleaner. This would work on older bats that are primarily bare metal and not painted. Also, do NOT use steel wool. This will scratch your bat faster than you can imagine.
What I have found to be highly effective is this: Get some Soft Scrub (without bleach) bath and kitchen cleaner (available at any grocery store). Get a 2-sided sponge (one with standard soft sponge side and one with the slightly coarse but not too rough side).
Dampen the sponge, and apply some soft scrub directly to the sponge. Then scrub the dirty areas of the bat. If you are using the soft sponge side, scrub vigorously. If you are using the coarse sponge side, scrub lightly. Scrub 1/4 to 1/2 the bat at a time.
Have a dry or slightly damp towel or rag handy to wipe off the dirt and residue that you just scrubbed off. DO NOT submerge your bat in water to rinse. If you have a 2-piece "composite" bat, there is always a slight chance water can enter at the joints and then begin to harm your bat from the inside.
In no time, you will have a sparkly clean bat. There is also a bonus of having your bat smell like lemons if you get the scented Soft Scrub.

What is the men's Australian basketball team called?
There is no netball in the Olympics, and secondly it depends on what country you are referring to.
The Australian Men's (and mixed) National Netball teams are called the Sonix. Up until 2012, the Sonix played a biennial Trans Tasman series. In the alternate years, a World Cup was contested in one of a number of host countries. Teams in the U/23, Open Men's & Open Mixed divisions compete (additionally, an U/19 division was included in the 2012 Trans Tasman series for the first time). In 2013, a new chapter in International Men's & Mixed Netball competition has begun, with the inaugural World Championship of Men's & Mixed Netball to be contested in Sun City, South Africa. Teams in the U/23, Open Men's & Open Mixed divisions will compete. Similarly in 2013, the Australian Sonix U/17 & U/19 teams will travel to Malaysia to compete in thatcountry'slargest annual Netball Tournament. Sadly at this time, neither LadiesorMen's Netball are included on the Olympic Program, however Netball as a whole received IOC recognition in 2005.
How much can 50 cent bench press?
The rule of thumb is that you should never max out your weight, for fear of doing serious damage to a muscle (such as tearing it, or separating it from its connecting tissue).
Ideally, you should bench press at a maximum a weight that you can lift 8-10 times, but that you need a spotter's help on the last lift. When you can press it 12 or more times without the spotter's help, then you can safely add a bit more weight.

Who make the most money golfer or baseball players?
Its hard to compare the income of professional baseball players and pro golfers since they earn money in different ways. Professional golfers earnings are determined by how well they play in each tournament (typically 4 rounds of golf). They don't have contracts that guarantee their earnings. They are paid on a week to week performance basis. Therefore, a pro golfer has to play in order to earn money. The better he plays, the more he makes.
Professional baseball players, however, sign contracts and make a salary and bonuses based on previous performance and/or future potential. They make a predetermined yearly salary and can sometimes earn more in performance bonuses. These days, top baseball players earn $25-35 Million a season. Whereas the top money winner on the PGA tour might make around $10 Million in a season.
Endorsements also play a factor. In some of Tiger Woods' top years he only earned about $10-12 Million from actually playing golf. When you include endorsements though, he made well over $100 million those years.

What was Jackie Robinson act of courage?
Jackie Robinson was the first African-American man to play baseball. The major league was fairly new at the non-segregating game, and most African-American men were afraid of the white men already in the major leagues making fun of them for the color of their skin.
Jackie Robinson was not fazed by this and as a result, started to play in the Major League. This brought spitting, ridicule, etc. from his teammates because he was black, and Robinson kept going with it, encouraging other blacks to join the major leagues.
