Basketball

an inflated because it takes up more room than a deflated one

It depends on how you define the basketball. If you define it as just the rubber, then the mass does not change when it is inflated. If you consider the air inside the ball to be part of the ball then adding more air adds more mass. Mass is "stuff". Air has mass because air is stuff.

Michael jordan. He made about 5.2 million in the year 2000.

Yes, not only were they first to win both in the same year, but they were also the first team to have held both at the same time.

yes in 1976

Because if basketball were all flabby, then they wouldn't dunk or they wouldn't be as athletic to make themselves better. They have to be well conditioned to prepare for bigger moments

I believe they can if they are more of a perimeter shooting type of a power forward, for example I wouldn't be surprised if a power forward like Dirk Nowitzki type wears one.

Dwayne Wade was the first round draft choice of the Miami Heat in the 2003 NBA draft.

Personality doesn't matter. It's about interest and love for the game. And the talent of course

the court is 94 feet by 50 ft (28.65m by 15.24m)

It has and always will be legal to dunk from the free throw line. No one has ever attempted to do so in a non NBA dunk contest, as the odds of doing so with about 7 people in the way is very unlikely. Most people get a head start, as well, and there is little chance of that happening in an NBA game.

It's when a team goes on the fast-break, and a defender BEHIND the offensive player with the ball fouls him before he can get to the basket. The player gets 2 free throws and his team also retains the ball.

This rule is implemented because:

A) The team would've almost certainly had two points had the defender not fouled from behind.

B) Often the foul is out of frustration and commonly leads to injury, so the league wants to discourage it.

what are the 5 best players that played in basketball history?

Often, jump shooters are accurate free throw shooters and percentages play in the jump shooters favor at the free throw line. For example, a good jump shooter might shoot 46-50% from the field, but at the free throw line this increases to 80% and higher (i.e. ~30% increase in getting 2 or 3 points). One exception would be if the jump shooter has a clear layup or dunk (virtually 100% success). In this case, fouling and preventing the basket is worth it.

The Hornets entered the NBA in 1988 as an expansion team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. They moved to New Orleans for the 2002-03 season.

As air fills the basketball, the pressure expands outward to make the outside of the ball feel harder. The valve on the outside of the ball allows the pump to put air in prevents air from escaping.

The "3-second call" is when a player (offensive or defensive) stands under the goal or in "the paint" for three seconds, which is a technical foul. If you're on offense, the other team gets the ball. If you're on defense the other team gets a free throw for one point.
