Book Synopsis How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius by : Nick Greene
Download or read book How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius written by Nick Greene and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, entertaining deconstruction of basketball, drawing on the expertise of board-game creators, magicians, therapists, and more Basketball is the second-most popular sport in the world—an insanely complicated game built on a combination of athleticism, craftiness, rules, intangibles, and superstardom. However, while it’s enjoyable to watch, the real reason it works is because it’s a game of culture, art, and all the things that make us human. How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius deconstructs the sport from top to bottom and then puts it back together again, detailing its intricacies through reporting and dozens of interviews with experts. These experts, however, are a diverse group: wine critics weighing in on LeBron’s ability to delegate on the fly, magicians analyzing Chris Paul’s mystifying dribbling techniques, cartographers breaking down Steph Curry’s deadeye three-point shooting. Every chapter treats basketball to a multi-disciplined study that adventures far beyond the lines of the court, examining key elements of the sport from some surprising and revealing angles. There’s a reason it has conquered the world, and every game is a chance to learn about pop culture, fashion, history, science, art, and anything else that bounces our way.

Book Synopsis Ball Sports by : Lost Century of Sports Collection
Download or read book Ball Sports written by Lost Century of Sports Collection and published by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ball sports were almost exclusively a male pursuit until women began to participate in the late 19th century, most notably in basketball, golf and tennis. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series showcases over 100 articles (134,000 words) written by women from 1882 to 1900, accompanied by 100 illustrations. Basketball, invented in 1891, rapidly gained popularity among women, with high school and intercollegiate matches sparking nationwide interest. The exclusion of men as spectators in some venues (due to women playing in scandalous bloomers) fostered intrigue, while in other regions both genders watched women play without segregation. The 49 articles about basketball from 1894 to 1900 include coverage of the first intercollegiate games, 13 articles spotlighting Clara Gregory Baer's pioneering role in basketball in Louisiana, and the short story The Emotions of a Sub-Guard written by a graduate of Smith College. Golf was primarily a pastime for the wealthy elite due to the cost of equipment and course maintenance at private country clubs. The sport witnessed a massive surge in women's involvement, marked by the inauguration of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship in 1895. Tennis also flourished, spawning national tournaments in the late 1880s, driving women's dress reform to abandon restrictive clothing to permit freedom of movement, and adopting colorful styles of the now ubiquitous tennis shoes. Articles about baseball, billiards, bowling, cricket, field hockey, football and soccer provide a comprehensive overview of women's engagement with popular ball games during this era. Several obscure and antiquated ball sports are also included in this collection, providing a fascinating glimpse into an array of ball games that never gained widespread popularity. Ball sports are also featured in four other volumes of the Sports She Wrote series: Helen Dauvray, The Actress Who Loved Baseball; Ella Black, The First Woman Baseball Correspondent; Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar; and Diana’s Ball Sports. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Book excerpt: Are top scorers really the most valuable players? Are games decided in the final few minutes? Does the team with the best player usually win?Thinking Basketball challenges a number of common beliefs about the game by taking a deep dive into the patterns and history of the NBA. Explore how certain myths arose while using our own cognition as a window into the game's popular narratives. New basketball concepts are introduced, such as power plays, portability and why the best player shouldn't always shoot. Discover how the box score can be misleading, why "closers" are overrated and how the outcome of a game fundamentally alters our memory. Behavioral economics, traffic paradoxes and other metaphors highlight this thought-provoking insight into the NBA and our own thinking. A must-read for any basketball fan -- you'll never view the sport, and maybe the world, the same again.

Book Synopsis Basketball in Japan by : Aaron L. Miller
Download or read book Basketball in Japan written by Aaron L. Miller and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a study of basketball in Japan, this book aims to help readers better understand the historical formation and contemporary reformation of cultural identity in Japan. This reformation includes the process of reconciling the perceived differences between basketball in Japan and basketball in the West, the process of reconciling how perceptions of one’s body are shaped in a globally interconnected society, the process of reconciling what it means to be a modern man, and the process of reconciling what it means to be Japanese in a nation that is increasingly multicultural. In other words, basketball in Japan matters, not only because it has for too long been over‐simply labelled as a “minor” sport, but also because it is much more than a game. Examining the real and symbolic power which sport has on Japanese culture, and even in some instances the state, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of Japanese culture and society and the sociology of sports.
Book Synopsis Acute and Chronic Finger Injuries in Ball Sports by : Grégoire Chick
Download or read book Acute and Chronic Finger Injuries in Ball Sports written by Grégoire Chick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neglected finger injuries may lead to chronic lesions that often have detrimental consequences for the practice of a ball sport, whether at a recreational level or at the top athlete level. The initial injury management is crucial. Depending on the type and the severity of the lesions, different people may get involved: the players themselves or their entourage, physiotherapists, club doctors, emergency physicians, family doctors, sports doctors or hand surgeons. Treatment is usually conservative: the long fingers require rapid mobilization to prevent stiffness and contrary to that, the thumb requires stability. Surgery may be necessary to reach these goals especially for athletes, because of the demands of their sport. Chronic lesions are also in part related to repeated trauma, requiring specialized long-term multidisciplinary treatment. They can often lead to the end of a sporting career, but also may limit the functionality of the fingers at the time of conversion. Dr Chick is Consultant Hand Surgeon in Hôpital de la Tour (Geneva) and Clinique de Genolier, Switzerland, and Visiting Surgeon in Aspetar, Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital, Doha, Qatar.
