  • Kisha Spellman-White the American Basketball Association Announced
    Kisha Spellman-White Years Attended: 1993-96 Area of Study: Athlete Basketball The American Basketball Association announced two new expansion teams for the 2008 season with one right here in Prescott Valley. The ownership group includes Kisha Spellman- White. Kisha played guard/small forward for the Yavapai College Roughriders in 1996, then with the Arizona Sun Devils before embarking on a professional career in Cairns, Australia. For the last six years, she and her mother, Rita White, have been running a successful charter school in Phoenix. A successful businesswoman, she is also the owner of a new behavioral health residential care facility that houses foster children between the ages of 5 and 12 in a home-like setting. Kisha is dedicated to helping others to improve their lives. Kisha Spellman-White, Basketball Player, 1993-96 (Excerpt from an article as published in the Daily Courier, Sept. 6, 2008.) Owner of the ARIZONA RHINOS, Kisha Spellman-White, right, a former player at Yavapai College (1993-96), and head coach Orlando Woolridge met members of the media on Friday at Tim’s Toyota Center. The Arizona Rhinos are in town for their first-ever season. It’s never an easy assignment to be the new team in a minor league. The modern ABA debuted in 1999, sporting the same familiar red, white and blue ball of its older – non-affiliated – brethren of the 70s. Tell us your story at http://www.yc.edu/alumni It’s not the days of Julius Erving and George Gervin. The ABA, in fact, is much more of an extended basketball community than a traditional sports league.

  • 2008 History.Indd
    SPARTAN BASKETBALL HISTORY AND TRADITION 1979 NCAA CHAMPIONS The 1978-79 season was truly a magical one for Coach Jud Heathcote and his Michigan State Spartans. Blending a perfect combination of individual ability, enthu- siasm and teamwork, Heathcote formed a cohesive unit that captivated the nation and sellout crowds at Jenison Field House. The Spartans compiled a 26-6 overall record and went 13-5 in the Big Ten to share the league crown with Purdue and Iowa. State steamrolled through the NCAA Tournament, ending the season on top of the college basketball world with a 75-64 victory over Larry Bird and unbeaten Indi- ana State. The 1978-79 squad gathered at Jenison Field House on Aug. 12, 1989, to play one more game against a team of former Spartan All-Stars. On a hot, sweltering night, the National Champi- onship squad, led by Earvin Johnson’s 25 points and 17 rebounds, topped the All-Stars, 95-93, before a sellout crowd of 10,004. 126 MICHIGAN STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2000 NCAA CHAMPIONS Tom Izzo repeatedly talked to his team about leaving its mark on the program. The 1999-2000 Spartans did more than leave their mark; they set the standard by which all future Michigan State teams would be measured. Part of being a champion is winning titles, which the Spartans accomplished in winning the Na- tional Championship, a third straight Big Ten Championship and a second consecutive Big Ten Tourna- ment title. Michigan State’s three consecutive conference crowns marked only the eighth time in league history that a team has won three straight titles.

  • Open Andrew Bryant SHC Thesis.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS REVISITING THE SUPERSTAR EXTERNALITY: LEBRON’S ‘DECISION’ AND THE EFFECT OF HOME MARKET SIZE ON EXTERNAL VALUE ANDREW DAVID BRYANT SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Mathematics and Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Edward Coulson Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor David Shapiro Professor of Economics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The movement of superstar players in the National Basketball Association from small- market teams to big-market teams has become a prominent issue. This was evident during the recent lockout, which resulted in new league policies designed to hinder this flow of talent. The most notable example of this superstar migration was LeBron James’ move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. There has been much discussion about the impact on the two franchises directly involved in this transaction. However, the indirect impact on the other 28 teams in the league has not been discussed much. This paper attempts to examine this impact by analyzing the effect that home market size has on the superstar externality that Hausman & Leonard discovered in their 1997 paper. A road attendance model is constructed for the 2008-09 to 2011-12 seasons to compare LeBron’s “superstar effect” in Cleveland versus his effect in Miami. An increase of almost 15 percent was discovered in the LeBron superstar variable, suggesting that the move to a bigger market positively affected LeBron’s fan appeal.
