Aos meus pais Rolando ( in memoriam ) e Soeli (in memoriam ) por todo o sacrifício que tiveram para me educar. v AGRADECIMENTOS Mal eu sabia que ao chegar ao final de mais esta etapa da minha vida eu teria que agradecer a muitos. Começo agradecendo ao responsável pelo rumo que a minha vida tomou, pois esteve presente no início de minha carreira como atleta e no início da minha vida acadêmica, sempre me apoiando. Cito neste momento o professor Francisco Alexandre Faigle, conhecido por todos como Chicão. Através dele conheci pessoas que foram fundamentais no meu desenvolvimento profissional e acadêmico como Marcelo Pastre e sua querida esposa Thais a qual tenho um carinho especial por ter me motivado e me ajudado durante todo o processo que finalizo agora. Gostaria de agradecer também aos amigos que foram fundamentais num momento de transição da minha vida de atleta para professor, abrindo as portas das instituições de que faziam parte, são eles: Roberto Cavagnari, Adel Luis Youssef e Carlos Maia. Sou eternamente grato a estrutura familiar que possuo, pois sem ela as dificuldades encontradas durante a minha vida teriam sido muito maiores. Uma homenagem especial para os meus irmãos Glória, Gracia, Ronaldo, Glaura, meus cunhados e sobrinhos. Durante a minha vida de atleta dentre muitos amigos que fiz, alguns são especiais e os carrego no meu coração. Muito obrigado Ary Vidal, Cláudio Mortari, Waldir Barbanti, Pedro de Toledo e Alexandre Moreira, que muitas vezes fizeram com que eu ultrapassasse limites para alcançar meus objetivos. Agradeço a todos os atletas que fizeram parte da minha vida de atleta profissional, pois eles contribuíram de maneira significativa na construção do indivíduo que sou hoje. Para a construção deste projeto tive uma grande ajuda de queridos amigos, por isso agradeço a Mariza Mendes, assessora de imprensa da CBB que não poupou esforços para conseguir as informações de que eu necessitava; Sonia Stabille, que com sua eloqüência e intelectualidade muitas vezes me guiou nos caminhos da redação; e Dr. Nelson Antonio von Lasperg, que com seu conhecimento me auxiliou a transpor barreiras pessoais em uma fase difícil de minha vida. vi Agradeço os meus amigos entrevistados que me forneceram um material rico, sem os quais eu não teria conseguido concluir este trabalho: Marcel Ponikwar de Souza, Oscar Schmidt, José Medalha, Renato Brito Cunha, Anderson Varejão, Leandro Barbosa, Gerasime Grego Bosikis, Aluísio Elias Xavier Ferreira (Lula), Jorgue Guerra (Guerrinha), Alex Ribeiro Garcia, José Roberto Lux (Zé Boquinha), João José Vianna (Pipoka), Marcos Caruso, Guilherme Giovanonni, Fernando Soares Mauro e Rafael D’urso. O convívio pessoal também é muito importante para a construção de um projeto, sendo assim, agradeço aos meus amigos do Colégio Medianeira que sempre me apoiaram e tiveram muita compreensão durante estes dois anos: Pe. Raimundo Kroth, Adalberto Fávero, Eliane Zaionc, Carolina Araújo, Francisco Carlos Rehme, Geralda Colen e a equipe e os professores que fazem parte do setor de 5ª. e 6ª. séries. Agradeço a todos os meus colegas da área de Educação Física e Esportes do Colégio Medianeira que acompanharam passo a passo a construção da dissertação: Ana Lúcia, Lílian, Sueli, Giselle, Dani, Douglas, Cezar, Kleber, Izildinha, Fabio, Everson, Hélcio e Chamon. Agradeço ao corpo docente do curso de Educação Física da Universidade Tuiuti e em especial a Ney de Lucca Mecking e Beatriz Lílian Dorigo que me apoiaram neste projeto. Agradeço a todos os meus alunos e atletas, aos quais procurei passar ensinamentos e que enriqueceram o meu universo profissional. Agradeço a Marco Aurélio Manfredini, meu professor de Educação Física do Colégio Zacarias por ter me apresentado o basquetebol. Agradeço aos responsáveis pela construção de um trabalho bem sucedido que sem as orientações e ensinamentos destes não conseguiria ter concluído: Wanderley Marchi Jr., Doralice Lange de Souza, Antonio César de Almeida Santos, Benilde Maria Lenzi Motim, Ademir Gebara e em especial ao meu orientador Fernando Renato Cavichiolli. Agradeço aos meus colegas de classe que me ajudaram na formação deste trabalho e ao secretário do Programa de Pós graduação em Educação Física, Daniel Dias, pela sua ajuda no decorrer destes dois anos. vii Gostaria de agradecer também aos membros da banca examinadora sem os quais o trabalho não teria sido desenvolvido corretamente: Wanderley Marchi Jr., José Medalha, Juarez Vieira do Nascimento e Ademir Gebara. Agradeço aos meus dois companheiros, Apolo e Chiquinha, que no seu silêncio me fizeram companhia nas muitas madrugadas que me dediquei a este projeto. Para finalizar agradeço a Deus pela minha existência e todas as oportunidades bem ou mal sucedidas da minha vida, pois sem ele eu não estaria aqui neste momento. viii SUMÁRIO RESUMO .....................................................................................................................ix ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................x LISTA DE ABREVIATURAS .......................................................................................xi INTRODUÇÃO ...........................................................................................................12 CAPÍTULO 1 – OS CONCEITOS DA TEORIA DOS CAMPOS DE PIERRE BOURDIEU E DA TEORIA FIGURACIONAL DE NORBERT ELIAS .........................................................................................................................19 CAPÍTULO 2 – CARACTERIZANDO A NBA, A CBB E AS LIGAS PROFISSIONAIS DA ITÁLIA E ESPANHA ...........................................................................................34 2.1 – A NBA ..............................................................................................................34 2.2 – A CBB ..............................................................................................................52 2.3 – AS LIGAS EUROPÉIAS ..................................................................................61 CAPÍTULO 3 – A NOVA LIGA BRASILEIRA – NLB ................................................66 CAPÍTULO 4 – APROXIMAÇÃO ENTRE OS CONCEITOS DAS TEORIAS SOCIOLÓGICAS E OS DADOS EMPÍRICOS. ..........................................................81 CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS .......................................................................................92 REFERÊNCIAS .........................................................................................................98 REFERÊNCIAS ELETRÔNICAS ............................................................................100 ANEXO 1 – ROTEIRO PARA ENTREVISTAS ........................................................102 ANEXO 2 – MODELO DO TERMO DE CONSENTIMENTO DE PARTICIPAÇÃO NO ESTUDO ...................................................................................................................104 ANEXO 3 – TERMO DE CONSENTIMENTO DE PARTICIPAÇÃO NO ESTUDO ...................................................................................................................106 ANEXO 4 – ENTREVISTAS ....................................................................................123 ix RESUMO Este estudo tem como ponto de partida a criação de uma liga profissional de basquetebol no Brasil, por intermédio do modelo adotado nos Estados Unidos. Nesse contexto, foi importante fazer uma caracterização do basquetebol norte americano e do basquetebol brasileiro. Tornou-se indispensável realizar também uma caracterização do basquetebol europeu através de duas ligas, a saber: Italiana e Espanhola, pois ambas foram citadas pelos sujeitos entrevistados para a realização da pesquisa. No Brasil, existem atualmente duas instituições que procuram dominar o basquetebol, iniciando assim uma batalha pelo controle do esporte em questão. Dentro dessa perspectiva, mostrarei como foi criada a liga profissional brasileira e que tipo de relação ela possui com a instituição dominante a nível nacional. Expande-se daí a questão da disputa de poder entre essas duas instituições. Defini como problema: Quais os fatores que levaram a tentativa de criação de uma liga profissional de basquetebol brasileira,

The ultimate decision maker for the NBA is the Commissioner, Adam Silver, whose job is to represent the interests of the league and more specifically the team owners, while the ultimate decision maker for the players at the bargaining table is the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), currently led by Michele Roberts. In the current system of negotiations, the NBA and the NBPA meet to negotiate and make changes to their collective bargaining agreement as it comes close to expiration. This paper will examine the 1976 ABA- NBA merger, and the resulting impact that the joining of these two leagues has had. This paper will utilize language from the current collective bargaining agreement, as well as language from previous iterations agreed upon by both the NBA and NBPA, as well information from other professional sports leagues agreements and accounts from relevant parties involved.

    DR. JAMES NAISMITH’S 13 ORIGINAL RULES OF BASKETBALL 1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. 2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist). 3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed. 4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it. 5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed. 6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of rules 3 and 4, and such as described in rule 5. 7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). 8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edge and the opponent moves the basket it shall count as a goal.

  • The Father of Basketball Coaching. Indianapolis: Masters, 1996.223 Pp
    222 Aethlon XVI:1 / Fall 1998 Blair Kerkhoff. Phog Allen: The Father of Basketball Coaching. Indianapolis: Masters, 1996.223 pp. $19.95. "I am very glad to know of your interest in the University of Kansas, but as you know, we do not have any special scholarships of any kind for athletes here at the University." Thus opens the standard letter Phog Allen used in the 1930s and 40s to respond to inquiries from prospective basketball players. Gems such as Allen's letter underscore the vast changes in college athletics, basketball in particular, since the 1940s. They're what fascinated me in reading this biography penned by a sportswriter for The Kansas City Star At times I wished Kerkhoff would provide more commentary and analysis on Phog's life than he does, as Kerkhoff tends to leave Allen's comments and actions to interpret themselves. But Allen's colorful statements do provide many entertaining moments in the book. Of the AAU, which Allen regularly attacked for having too much control in amateur athletics, he snapped, "I like the AAU like a fellow likes garlic for dessert." Another time he claimed AAU stood for ''Asinine And Unfair." Even his own players were not spared. Of center B. H. Born, who helped lead Kansas to the championship game in 1953, Phog complained after one game, "He stood around like a Christmas tree, and out of season at that." Apparently, Allen was also willing to stretch the truth for a good yarn, especially to inspire his teams in pre-game and halftime talks.

This is gang behavior on parade minus the guns. That's what the culture of the NBA has become." - Rush Limbaugh1 "Do you really want to go there? Do I have to? .... I think it's fair to say that the NBA was the first sport that was widely viewed as a black sport. And whatever the numbers ultimately are for the other sports, the NBA will always be treated a certain way because of that. Our players are so visible that if they have Afros or cornrows or tattoos- white or black-our consumers pick it up. So, I think there are al- ways some elements of race involved that affect judgments about the NBA." - NBA Commissioner David Stern2 * B.A. in History & Religion, Columbia University, 2002, J.D., Columbia Law School, 2005.
