    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

  • Clean Water Through Conservation in the Jordan Lake Watershed
    CLEAN WATER THROUGH CONSERVATION IN THE JORDAN LAKE WATERSHED By James Ray Ryan Parks Emily Tucker Advisor: Dr. Dean L. Urban, Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University April 25, 2019 Executive Summary Water management and conservation are both on a trajectory toward a holistic vision of sustainable natural resource management. With goals converging, opportunities for collaboration between the two camps are growing. This is particularly true within the Jordan Lake Watershed in the North Carolina Piedmont, where existing land uses and new urban development are impairing water quality and fragmenting the region’s ecological resources. Traditional regulatory approaches have been largely unsuccessful in this watershed, so watershed managers are turning to an innovative, holistic, and collaborative approach – Jordan Lake One Water (JLOW). JLOW, and particularly members like the Triangle Land Conservancy, see conservation as a valuable part of a holistic watershed management approach. In addition to improving drinking water quality, conservation can provide other benefits that communities care about, both upstream and downstream. By highlighting these benefits, the many stakeholders within the watershed can formulate a more holistic watershed management strategy and address some of the political and financial barriers impeding progress towards the development

Intricacies & adjustments Defending the “Pick & Roll” 2 biggest concerns defensively are; Transition Offense (with P&R) and Pick and Roll in half court offense. 4 Ways Pick & Roll puts you at a disadvantage: 1) Forces us to make a decision: switch, go under, go over, etc. 2) Keeps 2 defenders on the ball for way too long. 3) Puts us into a physical defensive position 4) It puts you into scramble mode, instead of rotation mode. *Scramble is unpredictable, no trust, unorganized *Must stay in rotation mode!! - Practice Rotations!! Practice, practice,practice - Trust it (because you practice it) - Believe it - We can control our movement 3 Parts to defending the Pick & Roll 1) Positioning: Be where you need to be, not where you feel like being 2) Awareness: Help spots (shrink spots), Must Spots!!

And 3 consecutive postseasons the 'Bad Boys' (as the Pistons were known) recognized they couldn't stop 'Air Jordan' from taking flight. But they could decide when he landed. And how! After falling short (literally and figuratively) to those Pistons again and again and again, Jordan decided to ground himself. And that's when everything changed. For Jordan, the Bulls, and the NBA. 1 The Pistons referred to their strategy as "The Jordan Rules" apparently believing that "Goonery" was too indelicate. "The Jordan Rules by the Pistons were all about not letting him get to the basket," says former Bulls center Will Perdue who played in the last two of those futile Pistons series.

  • Michael Jordan
    Michael Jordan Michael Jordan emerged in the 1980s as the most famous athlete on the planet. His ability to leap high and perform acrobatic maneuvers while in the air inspired an entire line of athletic shoes known as "Air Jordan." His overall skill and competitive drive carried him to a record 10 National Basketball Association (NBA) scoring titles and six league championships. His warmth, humor, and accessibility made him a marketing gold mine. Jordan's accomplishments are so impressive that no less a basketball artist than Larry Bird has said of him, "I think he's God disguised as a basketball player." Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, the fourth of five children of James and Delores Jordan. The family moved to Wallace, North Carolina, when Michael was an infant and settled in Wilmington when he was seven. There James worked his way up from mechanic to supervisor at a General Electric plant and Delores made a similar advancement working at a bank. Jordan's first love as a child was baseball, which was also his father's favorite sport. He has said that his favorite childhood memory is winning the league Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy for his Babe Ruth League team with his lively fastball. He also dabbled in track as well as in football, until he was scared away by an injury. But eventually, he and his brother, Larry, who was a year older, began to concentrate on basketball. James Jordan accommodated them by building them a full-sized basketball court on their property.
