Bending it into the #10 spot of Los Angeles Sports Icons is transplanted British soccer star David Beckham. The famous international footballer brought his championship form to Southern California when joining the LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer. Along extraordinary athletic skill, he also transported a celebrated lifestyle and equally famous wife Victoria with him upon arriving in the City of Angels. Yes, nearly a decade ago, the Beckhams reigned as one of the sports and entertainment world’s most recognized celebrity couples. It made perfect sense for the pretentious pair to ferry their glitz and glam from Great Britain to America’s Tinsel Town. Ironically, besides soccer and pop music, the couple even cornered the market on aromatic, flavorful nicknames. Known as Posh Spice of the all-girl British pop group the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham sang, danced and jiggled her way to global stardom during the 1990s. During the same time period, David Beckham emerged as one of the most celebrated soccer players on the planet. Because of his marriage to Posh Spice, he unwittingly acquired the tongue-in-cheek nickname Spice Boy. Victoria Beckham first called her husband Spice Boy during a 2007 CNN interview with talk show host Larry King. The cajoling and not entirely flattering Spice Boy nickname stuck, much to David Beckham’s chagrin. The nickname picked up additional steam from a public who’d grown weary of the ever-pouty boorishness of Beckham’s wife Victoria. While Victoria Beckham’s ostentatious behavior riled the media and fans, her husband’s actions - especially on the soccer pitch – captivated sports fans, especially those in Southern California longing for a star player and a championship caliber team. Formerly, one of the most marketable athletes in the world, Spice Boy David Beckham earned his athletic stripes while cultivating a loyal global following during his professional soccer career. Once Major League Soccer’s highest paid player with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Beckham proved that he won wherever he played. The Brit won two MLS Cups with the LA Galaxy and became a cult hero in a city dominated by baseball and basketball teams. Beckham also captured a La Liga Championship with Real Madrid as well as six English Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the 1999 UEFA Champions League crown with Manchester United. While at Man U, Beckham’s brilliance shined brightly. In 265 appearances, he found the back of the net 62 times and assisted on another 152 goals. World sentiment may not have completely endorsed both members of the British power couple who resided in what the media called “Beckhamham Palace” when spending time in their native England. However, sports fans around the world, and especially those in Southern California who desired to bend it like Beckham once did with pinpoint accuracy, embraced David Beckham as one of the world’s best footballers - even with the cheeky nickname - Spice Boy. Beckham is rightfully credited with increasing soccer’s popularity in Southern California and easily kicks off Los Angeles Sports Icons.

Growing up near Los Angeles in Compton, CA, one of the world’s most recognized female athletes burst onto the women’s professional tennis circuit at the tender age of 13. She failed to disappoint in her debut. At the Bell Challenge in Quebec City, this teenager exceeded all expectations surrounding her United States Tennis Association high ranking for budding players. Since then, Serena Williams has utilized her potent serve, diligent work ethic and aggressive style of play to emerge as one of the sport’s best players ever. It’s doubtful that anyone would challenge Serena Williams’ spot in this book on Los Angeles Sports Icons. As of October 2016, Serena’s fabulous tennis resume has translated into nearly $82M in career prize money. She’s now the all-time leader in women’s tennis and fourth earner overall among tennis greats. As of this writing, Serena’s career touts the most professional tennis tournament tiles (71 singles and 22 doubles) among active men and women on the tour. In addition, Williams’ staggering 38 total Grand Slam victories include 22 single championships, 14 doubles titles and 2 mixed-doubles wins. In 2015, Serena ranked #1 in the world for the sixth time in her storied career. It was no wonder that Sports Illustrated selected her as the 2015 Sportsperson of the Year. Williams has even captured four Olympic gold medals, one in singles and three in doubles. She unquestionably earned her #1 world ranking each of the six times the World Tennis Association selected her. Serena Williams first picked up a tennis racquet at the age of three. Soon thereafter, she embarked upon a carefully constructed training regimen that her hard-charging father Richard developed for her and her older sister, Venus. Along with Venus, Serena was uniquely raised to comply with her highly involved father’s emphasis on a strong home school education coupled with an unparalleled commitment to the game of tennis. The sisters’ hard work and dedication paid off handsomely. The siblings eventually dominated the sport both individually at different times and, collectively, as doubles partners. Now in her mid 30s, Williams continues to excel at the sport. The press has dropped her last name altogether and simply labels her as Serena. Her remarkable career shows no sign of slowing down, in spite of a serious blood clot issue that arose in 2011 that she courageously overcame. Off the court, Serena Williams has evolved into a savvy businesswoman with a keen sense of style. She has leveraged the worldwide appeal of her iconic name and tennis success by developing fashion line called Aneres – her first name spelled backward. Williams has also invested wisely in other business ventures that include minority ownership in the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. This fabulous female athlete has left an indelible mark on the sport of tennis. From an early age, her physical strength and powerful athleticism allowed her to dominate on the court. But her personal drive, business acumen and penchant for fashion have her poised for another successful career away from the grass, clay, synthetic and asphalt surfaces of international tennis tournaments.

  • The First Question Any Social Enterprise Should Be Asking
    JERR’S JOURNAL July 17, 2014 The first question any social enterprise should be asking . I once spent three days working with The Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, a safe haven for indigent men who needed a place to stay and nourishing food for up to seven days. The CEO asked me to meet with his entire Board and staff, help them understand social enterprise, and then facilitate a closing discussion about the shelter’s strategic direction. The first question I asked during the discussion came right from Peter Drucker’s playbook. In his seminal work The Practice of Management , he wrote that because the question “is so rarely asked – at least in a clear and sharp form -- and (is) so rarely given adequate study and thought, (it) is perhaps the most important single cause of business failure.” The question? “What business are you in?” Shouldn’t be that hard to answer, should it? Well . * * * * * Does anybody here remember Jack McKinney? During the summer of 1979, the Los Angeles Lakers hired an obscure, 44-year-old assistant coach from Portland to coach a team that featured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the five-time NBA MVP, and a rookie point guard named Magic Johnson. Now, I grew up worshipping the (then) Minneapolis Lakers, even played in an abbreviated grade school game against one of our hated enemies during halftime of a Lakers game at the Minneapolis Auditorium. Those were the George Mikan, Jim Pollard, Vern Mikkelsen Lakers -- the original Big Three -- who won five NBA titles in six seasons from 1949 through 1954.

    PUBLICATION: ESPN Insider DATE: 10/1/15 Atlanta Hawks: 2015-16 player profiles By Tom Haberstroh Here are our 2015-16 player scouting reports and analysis for the Atlanta Hawks . Projected starters Jeff Teague Position: Guard Experience: 6 years 2014-15 stats Scouting report + Quick pick-and-roll point guard who thrives in space + Elite foul shooter and floater but turnover-prone on breaks + Great hands but nothing special defensively Analysis It seems like yesterday Teague couldn't get off the bench behind Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford in Atlanta, but Teague earned an All-Star bid after helping the Hawks to a franchise-record 60 wins last season. Teague raised his assist percentage and notched a career high in true shooting percentages by turning his iffy jump shot into a real weapon off the dribble. Teague is a pick-and-roll specialist who can slice into the lane at will. Among the 27 ball handlers with at least 300 pick-and-roll plays, Teague ranked seventh in efficiency, per Synergy Sports. Because he's not a tall point guard, Teague has mastered the floater in the lane to carve out an equalizer, and he has gotten much better at drawing contact. With vision, quickness and body control, Teague is a modern point guard for a progressive offense. He needs to continue to develop his jump shot if he wants to ascend into the top tier of point guards. Currently, he occupies a space below Stephen Curry and Chris Paul . At $8 million per year for the next two seasons, he's a steal for the Hawks.

  • Downtrodden Yet Determined: Exploring the History Of
    DOWNTRODDEN YET DETERMINED: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF BLACK MALES IN PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AND HOW THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION ADDRESSES THEIR WELFARE A Dissertation by JUSTIN RYAN GARNER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, John N. Singer Committee Members, Natasha Brison Paul J. Batista Tommy J. Curry Head of Department, Melinda Sheffield-Moore May 2019 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2019 Justin R. Garner ABSTRACT Professional athletes are paid for their labor and it is often believed they have a weaker argument of exploitation. However, labor disputes in professional sports suggest athletes do not always receive fair compensation for their contributions to league and team success. Any professional athlete, regardless of their race, may claim to endure unjust wages relative to their fellow athlete peers, yet Black professional athletes’ history of exploitation inspires greater concerns. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to explore and trace the historical development of basketball in the United States (US) and the critical role Black males played in its growth and commercial development, and 2) to illuminate the perspectives and experiences of Black male professional basketball players concerning the role the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), collectively considered as the Players Association for this study, played in their welfare and addressing issues of exploitation. While drawing from the conceptual framework of anti-colonial thought, an exploratory case study was employed in which in-depth interviews were conducted with a list of Black male professional basketball players who are members of the Players Association.

    2017 BOYS GymRat CHALLENGE POST-EVENT REPORT 17U Age Division Report 16U Age Division Report 15U Age Division Report 14U Age Division Report 13U Age Division Report 12U Age Division Report By STEVE AMEDIO GymRat CHALLENGE Director of Communications [email protected] SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY-If one thing has become certain over the two decades of the GymRat CHALLENGE, it's that it takes a lot more than just having a team of individual standouts to win a championship at the storied event. It does take a combination of will and skill, but more importantly is team play and defense, two aspects of the game not always associated with the sport on the AAU level. But, that so-called dirty work on the defensive end, along with an often-difficult to accomplish team chemistry on offense once again proved to be the winning formula for most of the teams in the 20th edition of the prestigious event held in New York's Capital Region over Memorial Day Weekend. No one said it better that Pat McGlynn, coach of the Gold Bracket title at the 17-under age division. "We've got 10 hillbillies who all know what counts in events like this," said McGlynn. "These kids all came here just to play basketball." PAGE | 1 And so they did, and they did it well. The York Ballers were particularly proficient on the defensive end, limiting its three opponents to a tournament-low 70 total points in their three pool-round games and not many more in the championship round. Platinum Bracket champion at the 17-under division, the New York Havoc squad, similarly played a team-first style to find their stride and capture a title.

He can block shots, runs the floor very well in transition-catches the ball well on the move, and finishes well at the rim…Very crafty around the basket when he posted up using great footwork and lots of scoring moves with his back to the basket. 2. Jarace Walker, 6’0, F, Maryland Finest (MD) Div. I – (2022) Another high energy, highly athletic player that has a lot of versatility and ability to do multiple things on the floor…Has solid ball handling skills and attacks well off the dribble and finishes at the rim with either hand. 3. Jason Moore, 6’0, F/C, Maryland Finest (MD) Div. I – (2022) A very skilled post player with really nice footwork in and around the basket…Has a good feel and understanding of the game at a young age. Really good hands for a young player and uses an array of moves to score inside without getting into foul trouble.
