Philadelphia 76Ers Vs. the Boston Celtics: the Rivalry Is Renewed by Scott Masson PHILADELPHIA 76ERS VS. THE BOSTON CELTICS: THE RIVALRY IS RENEWED BY SCOTT MASSON The rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers has been renewed during the current 2018 NBA playoffs. So far, the Celtics are ahead, 3-0. No one, though, expects either team to make the NBA finals, especially the Celtics, which have been plagued with injuries of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. Since both teams are in the same division during the regular season, they are natural rivals. The 76ers and Celtics have the most playoff meetings against each other at a total of 20 times, 12 of which have been won by the Celtics. For instance, in the second game of this playoff series, the 76ers were led by center Joel Embid who tallied 31 points, while the Celtics were led by point-guard Terry Rozier who recorded 29 points. For the Celtics, long gone are the days of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett who led them to the 2008 NBA finals championship. The Celtics are seeking their 18th NBA title with a new group of players such as Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and Jayson Tatum. For the 76ers, long gone is Allen Iverson, who led the team to multiple playoff runs in the early 2000s. The current Sixers are leaning on an inexperienced group of players they call The Process. The Sixers have three NBA titles as a team. Meanwhile the Celtics have the most NBA championships with 17, most recently back in 2008. The Celtics are the number two seed in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, while the Sixers are the number three seed. The Sixers led 31 - 22 in the first quarter of game two because of the slow start by the Celtics. At halftime Sixers increased their lead to 56-51, but that lead began to narrow thanks to the Celtics comeback. Ultimately, Jayson Tatum of the Celtics was too much for the Sixers in the last quarter. He dominated when he had the ball. The final score of game two was Celtics 108- Sixers 103. GO Celtics!!! .

Name: ________________________________ Date: __________________________ Class Period: ________ Directions: read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Ray Allen [is] a ten-time All-Star in the National Basketball Association and the greatest three-point shooter in the history of that league. Some years back, ESPN columnist Jackie MacMullan wrote an article about Allen as he was approaching his record for most three-point shots made. In talking with Allen for that story, MacMullan mentioned that another basketball commentator had said that Allen was born with a shooting touch—in other words, an innate gift for three-pointers. Allen did not agree. “I’ve argued this with a lot of people in my life,” he told MacMullan. “When people say God blessed me with a beautiful jump shot, it really makes me mad. I tell those people, ‘Don’t undermine the work I’ve put in every day.’ Not some days. Every day. Ask anyone who has been on a team with me who shoots the most. Go back to Seattle and Milwaukee, and ask them. The answer is me.” And, indeed, as MacMullan noted, if you talk to Allen’s high school basketball coach you will find that Allen’s jump shot was not noticeably better than his teammates’ jump shots back then; in fact, it was poor.

  • 2018 NBA Playoffs: T-Wolves End Playoff Drought
    2018 NBA Playoffs: T-Wolves End Playoff Drought Author : Nick Billion It may have taken all 82 regular season games, but the Minnesota Timberwolves are headed back to the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2004, which was the longest playoff drought in the league. Not only did they clinch in the final game of the season, but it was done in the best way possible. The Wolves faced the Nuggets in a winner gets in, the loser's season ends game that had a lot of attention, and this game did not disappoint at all. There was plenty of back and forth action, big plays and even overtime! However let's take a deeper look into how the Wolves got back to this spot. This offseason was big for the Wolves as they made some big moves. First off, sending Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn to the Chicago Bulls for All-Star guard, Jimmy Butler. This seemed like a steal for the Wolves as Dunn had a rough rookie year, and LaVine was recovering from injury. This was also a reunion for Coach Tom Thibodeau and Jimmy Butler, as Thibodeau was the former coach of 1 / 3 the Chicago Bulls. This was not the end to the Wolves offseason as they also signed a former teammate of Butler's, Taj Gibson and a former All-Star guard, Jeff Teague. This new-look Wolves team would have Teague, Butler, Wiggins, Gibson, and Towns as their starting 5, not a bad group at all. Having two, young, athletic players in Towns and Wiggins, Butler and Gibson knowing Thibodeau's play style, and Teague running point, this team caught a lot of attention early into the season.

  • 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.
