Basketball

I don't know 'how many' NBA players were born in 1963. But one thing I know is that 1963 was the year that produced a huge number of legendary NBA players. Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Charles Oakley, Chris Mullin, Joe Dumars, Terry Porter, Jeff Hornacek, Detlef Schrempf... to name a few.

the spurs got their name from a spur as in the thing on the back of a cowboys boot since they are located in san antonio texas

An unusual business deal brought a marginal pro basketball team to San Antonio, Texas, and a "name the team" contest was held and "Spurs" won. The San Antonio Spurs became a reality when the wealthy owners of the Dallas Chapparals of the now defunct ABA unloaded them to a few San Antonio businessmen headed by Angelo Drossos. The deal was so tenuous that the first year the team was essentially rented... and only purchased at the end of the first year in San Antonio... a most unusual beginning for a team that would enter the NBA three years later... and win multiple NBA Championships. It's a great team name... short, spirited, and reflecting the Old West heritage of San Antonio, Texas... at least in SpurEd's opinion.

Sports teams usually get there names by what their city has to offer. Examples are: Orlando Magic (NBA)- Disney World, Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL) ' Steel Town USA', and Houston Astros (MBL) NASA Space Center Headquarters. Unfortunately since a lot of teams are being relocated its hard do remember where there original hometown was. If you want to find out where some Modern day teams got there name from somewhere else go to Chris Creamer's Sports Logos.

True and false. You can pivot with both feet, but not at the same time.

For instance, you could be driving towards the basket and then stop on your right foot, using that pivot foot. On the next possession, you may stop on your left foot, using that as your pivot foot.

However, you may not start using one pivot foot and switch to the other at one time. That is traveling.

Yes. 'He' is called, "Stuff the Magic Mascot."

He is NOT, "Stuff the Magic Dragon" - as many incorrectly call him. He is, however, a dragon.

First of all, it will depend on if your surgeon is able to remove the gallbladder and stones via a laparoscopic procedure or not. In some cases the laparoscopic procedure cannot be completed and the procedure is converted to an open cholecystectomy via a traditional incision. That rarely happens, but can. There are factors that will influence this. Your surgeon is the best person to predict what likelihood of this exists in each individual situation.

If the procedure is completed laparoscopically, There will be several small incision, including one located in the navel that will need time to heal. You will be decidedly sore for a number of days and taking pain medication. Each persons tolerance is variable, and must be taken into consideration.

If the procedure has to be converted intraoperatively to an open procedure, you will have an additional, longer incision. This incision would be below the rib cage on the right side and would require a longer time for healing and is more uncomfortable. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances can lead to this. Even the best of pre-operative screening cannot always avoid this.

Your surgeon would be the best person to consult as to the amount of time you would require before returning to playing basketball. At the very least, I seriously doubt if you would feel up to it before about 3-4 weeks at a minimum and longer if the procedure converts to an open one. You need to allow your body time to heal. Your doctor will clear you to play at the appropriate time.

You may also have some dietary adjustments to learn to live with. Big, fatty meals may leave you uncomfortable for several hours with the gallbladder gone. Your liver will now drain bile directly into your small intestine continuously instead of being concentrated for delivery on demand in response to a fatty meal. Each individual learns to cope with this in their own way.

As a former critical care RN, I am writing this from a rather broad perspective. Over the years, I have seen the procedure move from being done strictly in in a hospital OR, to over time, being done in outpatient surgery centers in select circumstances. That being said, there are strict criteria used in determining suitability in each situation as to where the procedure is done. Your anesthesiologist will also weigh in on the day of surgery as to if he or she feels that an outpatient surgery center is the appropriate choice for you. If your anesthesiologist does not feel the choice is appropriate, your procedure can be cancelled at the last moment. They are looking out for your best interests, and not their paycheck. That is a responsible anesthesiologist and one I respect.

Surgery centers are great places. They are very safe and add a more personal touch for your care. Depending on the individual patient, I have personally sent them home via car as little as an hour or so after completion of the procedure. Others need a longer time and this can vary. I have also had the procedure myself, thus perhaps more explanation than you expected. :-)

Pau Gasol

If you mean "cool" as in best player on court or best individual skills... There are many different positions that players develop their skills on court. Or another example, "to stay cool, you must drink a lot of water to stay hygrate or dry your sweat."

NBA have a rule saying that you couldn't play until the four years of colledge eligibility was done. The youngest current NBA player is Derrick Favours who is 19 (the only player still in his teens although many players are just 20) and was born on July 15, 1991. He averages 12.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. He went to NBA straight after highschool as did LeBron James (my idol if you care and also NBA's current top player), Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard. Hope that helped :) (but next time jut go look it up)

The difference between an intentional foul and a flagrant foul is that a flagrant foul is a serious personal foul. This means that the player got fouled very violently and it could have injured the player. Flagrant fouls also include a player getting hit above the shoulders with an elbow or any other body part.

The four main components of a basket ball are the cover, the stitching, the lining and the bladder. The surface of basket balls or coverings are made up from synthetic leather and not full grain leather (as used in the past) because leather has a tendency to absorb water causing the ball to become very heavy. Synthetic leather is typically made from polyurethane and poly vinyl chloride. DIS DUDE IS GAY

The very, very first basketball was actually a soccer ball. It was used and thrown into a peach basket (instead of a hoop) during gym class many years ago. This is how basketball was started. After that, there was manychanges made to the ball and the basket as well.

Very easily, but it takes skill because it can easily become a traveling violation. Just practice hesitation, basic dribbling moves and it will soon become easy.

There are several factors. A persons body weight and age are a pretty good indicator. This is very general of course. To be a good bench presser its usually a matter of simple practice and technique.

However if you can rep your own weight you are most likely above average. If you can max out at 100lbs past your weight thats also a good indicator your pretty strong.

Ex: 175 body weight x 10

or 275 at one rep max.
