Basketball

there should be five players on each team and usually seven on the bench.

Yes, if the ball is goes in the basket in any way during regulation (with time ticking) and it was not thrown by a person who was standing either out of bounds or committing a foul... it counts !

Lets go out there and play some basketball

That is called a turnover. While there are a few ways to turn the ball over (offensive foul, bad pass, other team steal, thrown out of bounds, etc.), all are classified as a turnover.

8 seconds is the limit to advance the ball past midcourt in the NBA (10 in high school, college) 3 seconds is the limit an offensive player can be in the lane before a shot attempt is made. NBA also has a 3 second limit that a defensive player can be in the lane without guarding another player. 5 seconds to inbound the ball. Also 5 seconds to advance the ball past the defenders shoulders when closely guarded in the frontcourt(this is rarely enforced) 24 seconds in the NBA to attempt a shot. If the shot hits the rim, the shot clock is reset. 8 seconds is the limit to advance the ball past midcourt in the NBA (10 in high school, college) 3 seconds is the limit an offensive player can be in the lane before a shot attempt is made.

The first 'commissioner' of the NBA was Walter Kennedy, who was given the title in 1967. However, before the title 'commissioner' was used, that position was called 'president'. The first president of the NBA was Maurice Podoloff, who held the position between 1946-1963.

Usually, the play that the team is using determines which player inbounds the ball. (Either after a foul, out of bounds, or shot.) Most of the time one of the guards/wings will inbound the ball with the point guard, but sometimes the person who catches the ball after the basket will just step out of bounds and pass it in.

LeBron James has 2 houses that would be labeled as mansions. He has one in Miami, and one in Cleveland, where he has returned to play.

That depends on how fast the player is dribbling the ball. There is not an exact number on how many times a player dribbles the ball.

Georgetown has made the final four 5 times: 2007, 1985, 1984, 1982, 1943 Georgetown lost the championship game in 1943, 1982, and 1985. They lost in the semifinal game in 2007. They won the championship in 1984.

well that's a rather general question however, in my opinion spalding has a good range of balls whereas nike has limited amounts nevertheless, the basketballs are of rather good quality hence, it all comes down to personal feel and liking , i would actually say both brands are rather equal however if you are going to buy a ball you should consider both brands including molten to for its versatile long range balls

About Bernie Perhaps as much a part of Milwaukee's rich baseball history as the players, Bernie Brewer has become a symbol of what's good about being a fan of the Brewers and Major League Baseball.

As the official mascot of the Brewers, Bernie Brewer entertains fans young and old from his Dugout located in the left field bleachers.

The History of Bernie Brewer The concept of a team mascot first emerged back in 1970 when the expansion team needed to draw more fans to the park. That year, the first "Bernie Brewer", 69 year old Milt Mason, camped out in a trailer atop the scoreboard in late June, vowing not to come down until a crowd of at least 40,000 attended a game. On August 16, a bat day crowd of 44,387 showed up to bring their adopted hero down from his perch.

The demand for Bernie Brewer grew, and by 1973 he emerged as a character who cheered on the home team from a beer-barreled chalet. He would slide down from his perch into a beer stein following each Brewers home run and victory. Bernie Brewer became a fixture at Brewers home games through the club's powerful years when home runs came with regularity for teams known as Bambi's Bombers and Harvey's Wallbangers.

In 1984, the Brewers rebuilt the bleachers, replacing Bernie's Chalet with a sound tower, sending the mascot into retirement.

However in 1993, Bernie made a triumphant return. By popular demand, Brewers fans voted for his reinstatement. Bernie Brewers' housewarming party was a smash and he has been a permanent fixture at every game

Does he claim to go to church every Sunday (unless there is a game or practice)? Yes, he claims to do so.

Did he at some point claim to give his life to Jesus Christ? Yes.

So if that is what being a Christian is TOTALLY all about, then yep, he passes!

And I give him credit for doing the above mentioned things.

However...

Like a couple other OUT-SPOKEN "Christians" Chris Paul, (N.O. Hornets) and Tony Dungy (former Colts head coach)....

All three are Pro-Choice and all three believe that homosexuality is okay.

Some might try to say that these have nothing to do with the other. However, to follow Jesus, also involves believing in God's WORD (The Bible) to which both abortion and homosexuality is WRONG.

[Not all Christian denominations agree with this interpretation of the Bible.]

It's easy for athletes and entertainers to just say "Yeah, I'm down with Jesus." However, it's even easier when you can say it and not many people question how you can "be down" and yet, at the same town, not "be down" with scripture. [as interpreted by the author of this answer]

All three also publicly supported Barack Obama.

2m is the average among rookies and players who are not that great. 12m is the average of players who are great but less than 8 years in the league(LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire). 16m for star players who are veteran(Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki, Baron Davis). 20m for superstar players who are veteran(Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Shaq).

The two most prolific, active basketball players today are LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers. LeBron James is perhaps the most physically gifted person ever to play basketball: 6'10", strong, powerful, yet fast and agile. The current MVP of the National Basketball Association, he is almost impossible to defend. He can shoot 3-point baskets and post up with anyone, and score at will. However, James has yet to win an NBA championship. One can argue that James has never been surrounded by enough talent in Cleveland; on many nights, he is literally a one-man team. Kobe Bryant is as brilliant an athlete as James, but does not possess his imposing physique or power. However, Bryant is the ultimate competitor and clutch performer. A mainstay of the powerhouse LA Laker franchise, Bryant has won multiple NBA championships. Bryant can take over games at critical moments and is virtually impossible to defend. He is also a premier defender himself. Either man could easily be considered the greatest basketball player in the world today.

Referring to statistics, "ast" is an abbreviation for Assists. This is when a player passes the ball to one of his teammates and they score.

you stay in one position and dont guard a single player
