 Jekyll and Hyde Question 1. Maybe 2. he/she would have to have alot of reasons for me to not talk to some one no more and just not care. so depending on what that person does will determine what i would do in a situation like that. The other person does have a point when he says it none of my business, because if he says that he must mean it so just leave it alone.(thats his problem).

Thesis statement Although the hopes of a professional basketball career can offer false hope to millions of inner city youth. The sport NBA has become a sport dominated by blacks and one that reflects the black culture of today.

This was not a good choice to give them. "There are surely other choices for inner-city and poor youth, such as education, computer skills or training for a profession. The 1995 documentary Hoop Dreams brilliantly documented the failed hopes and illusory dreams of ghetto you making it in college basketball and the NBA. For most would-be stars it is a false hope to dream of fame and athletic glory." (page 321)

"To Biggie Smalls' dismal list of career options afforded young black males—"You either slang crack rock / Or you got a wicked jump shot"—we could add the office of president. And in response to what Jay-Z cynically defined as the black man's lot in life—"All we got is sports and entertainment/ Until we even, thievin"—we could say, No, not anymore.

To be sure, a President Obama is not a panacea for black America. There will be a lot of kids in failing schools who—let's be frank—would be wrong to imagine they have a shot at one day being commander-in-chief.

Of course, that fantasy would be scarcely more absurd than the idea of playing in the NBA, a career goal that nevertheless drives countless black men to dream and sacrifice and strive. Neither dream is very realistic. But I can imagine a clever ten-year-old black boy in Newark or Watts turning on the news instead of Rap City and making the conscious decision to emulate Barack Obama's brand of articulateness instead of Nas Escobar's—a decision which would carry with it powerful ramifications, for now he would be equipping himself to succeed not in the street, but in the middle-class and beyond."

Because over 80% of NBA basketball players are African American and the style of play that emerged from African-American communities dominates the professional game, basketball is culturally marked as black. Larry Bird, a three-time NBA MVP, and the best non-African American player of the last thirty years maintained that basketball is “a black man’s game.” The highly-acclaimed Black scholar, Michael Eric Dyson, argued that basketball is the “metaphoric center of black cultural imagination.” Two of the leading urban philosophers of the last twenty years—Jay-Z and Notorious B.I.G.—have commented on the importance of basketball for many African-American males. Over an infectious beat, Jay-Z rhymed, “Whether we dribble out [of the inner city]/Rap metaphors and riddle out [of the inner city]/ Work second floors, hospital out [of the inner city]/Some how we gotta get up out [of the inner city]” in his hit, “Some How, Some Way.” Notorious B.I.G flowed poetically in his street classic, “Things Done Changed”: “If I wasn’t in the rap game/ I’d probably have a ki knee deep in the crack game/ Because the streets is a short stop/ Either you’re slingin’ crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot. These though-provoking reflections reveal that what happens on the basketball court has far-reaching implications.

He was born in Ramsay Township, near Almonte, Ontario, Canada. James invented the sport when he had to find something to do with his children at a YMCA. The game had 13 rules to go by. The first game was of a soccer ball and two peach baskets. He wanted to make a game that people needed skill not only strength to play. The game started out with 9 people in a team. By 1897-1898 teams of five were standard. The sport rapidly got popular and spread through the U.S. and Canada. U.S. servicemen in World War II made the sport popular in many other countries. By 1893 and 1895 U.S. colleges adopted the game. In 1934 the first college games were held at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. By the 1950’s basketball had become a major college sport. The first pro league was the National Basketball League was formed in 1898. It was to protect players from exploitation and to promote less rough game. The National Basketball League only lasted Five years before disbanding. When they broke up a lot of smaller leagues broke out, throughout the northeastern United States. One of the first and best teams to be created was the Celtics they were organized in New York City in 1915. Eventually the National Basketball League and the Basketball Association of America combined to create the National Basketball Association (NBA). <span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">
