What's up Daniel,

First this is America so you can pretty much sue for anything- so could a player do that probably.

i think the player would have a hard time winning the case because it's an occupational hazard and he would have to prove that the player who dunked the ball "pre-meditated the whole thing".

There would be plenty of "visual evidence" and witnesses without a doubt.

i imagine that the league would step-in and that's why there is a player's association who would make sure that player got compensated and taken care of most likely.

Also a lot of players take out insurance policies on themselves (even kids incollegein case they get hurt before they sign a multi-million dollar contract)... so thinking this would most likely be the case...

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster
usually when you play sports professionally you wave all rights for suing another player or the club you play for in case of injury, and you take complete responsibility for anything that happens while you play. usually those guys have special types of insurance that protects them from things like that.
Yeah, I would think he could. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not positive lol.
yea i think yes

How do i find a pro basketball team in europe that can allow me to do a masters program while i play for them?nba fantasy

I don't think that will be a problem - your difficulty will be with the university with which you're studying. Will they allow you to travel overseas? Will you have difficulties contacting your adviser when you need their input? How many hours during the season will you have to work on your program? Consider all the variables - pro and con - before you decide.

I heard the pro-basketball player shaquille Oneal was filling for divorce, did he and his wife recon

She just wants his money

I heard the pro-basketball player shaquille Oneal was filling for divorce, did he and his wife reconcile?nba tv

nope.

I heard the pro-basketball player shaquille Oneal was filling for divorce, did he and his wife reconcile?nba dunks ,nba teams

maybe they just want to discuss things and settle it privately, so the media cant blow things out of proportion like they usually do.
He did not divorce his wife, he got back with her, i wouldnt have. She bought the man she was cheating on with him a house.
nope, they are still in the process of getting divorce. I have heard that every place that he goes, he has a few woman that goes to his room. That won't help him reconcile...
I don't know. But if I was his wife I'd file for divorce too and get some of his millions and find me a good looking young man instead of a fat, aging slob..... lmao.

Does anyone have knowledge about American Pro Basketball???

I have 3 questions:

Question #1

Is the WNBA still active and around, or

has it failed? If it hasn't failed, and is

still functioning as a commercial entity,

why doesn't it have the same

exposure as far as games shown,

and ESPN highlights, as NBA

basketball? Because it's

very unpopular??

Question #2

Why is the NBA so screwed

up??

Why do they call their

Season ending championship,

a World title, when at best

it's a Professional National

title, and at worse, a league

championship? And no, just

because they have players from

around the world, doesn't mean

their League championship is a

World title.

Question #2-B

Why can't the NBA make

its team brand names make

sense?

Are there any Timberwolves

in Minnesota?

Is there any Jazz in Utah?

What do Nuggets have to

do with Denver?

Does anyone have knowledge about American Pro Basketball???nba 07

answer to question #1 is yes they are still in business and still very much competitive but not on the business and commercial end. attendances has been dropping the past few years for wnba games and it has hurt the league more than anything else.

but no they have no plans of wrapping it up and shutting it down, in fact? i heard they are looking to expand the league with 2 more teams?!.

answer to question #2 is the title of "world champions" has been used for the nba first because basketball originated in america more than 100 years ago! and the title has stuck with the nba because we were the first official league ever established. nowadays of course there is a real world championship of basketball and the title is for whoever wins the tournament is called "world champions of basketball" world champions of the nba....here in america the main reason why its still called world champions is because we have teams in canada and canada is not part of the USA so that is the real reason why we say "nba world champs" and not "world champions of basketball" which is a different tournament.

answer to question 2-b is yes they do have wolves in minnesota, and utah has a very diverse jazz history if you researched you'd find that out and they call them denver the nuggets because of its history of gold mining and pan handling in colorado.

Does anyone have knowledge about American Pro Basketball???sports tickets ,nba teams

There's no jazz in utah.
You're one weird weird person!
1. Yes the WNBA is still functioning and operating. The WNBA doesn't get as much exposure as the NBA, because it's not as popular as the NBA.

2A. They call it the World Championship because they're the best Pro League N the World, they have the best players

2B. Alot of teams got their names because they were in different locations and moved to another city. Are because the mascot represent the city are the region.

They are called the Minnesota Timberwolves got their name because their is small amount of Timberwolves, which are native to Minnesota

There isn't any Jazz in Utah. The Jazz got their name because they started out in New Orleans where Jazz is prominent. They then moved to Utah and just kept the name for the Franchise.

The Denver Nuggets got their names because of thr history of the city. Denver was founded as a mining town for Gold. Gold so the name Denver Nuggets

Do you think i should persue my dream to become a pro basketball player.?

Im very talented and love the sport. Right now im paying for my high school in New Braunfels.

Do you think i should persue my dream to become a pro basketball player.?nba playoff

It's a tough row to hoe, my dear! If you are selected, your personal life will belong to the club that hires you. You will work, physically demanding work, very hard and take real risks of injury. You will have no private life, the tabloid press will haunt you, and your sex life will take on an element of public scrutiny you may find unpleasant.

Still, if you can hack it for a few years, and play with your whole heart and most of your time for those few years, you can potentially salt away enough to start a profitable business, or even enough to simply invest in business opportunities for others and collect the profits. So while it is very demanding, and not everyone who works their tail off to get it can succeed in getting it, let alone doing well, if you don't develop a lavish lifestyle or put the money up your nose, you will have real capital to work with when you are through.

Count on being through at quite an early age, I should think. Take a look at the ages of the top players.

If you think that you are good enough, and you have the will power, then go for it!

When did pro basketball start what year and was there any superstars?

when did pro basketball start and was there any superstars before goerge mikan?

When did pro basketball start what year and was there any superstars?nba street v3

Pro basketball started in 1898, however, there were no superstar players until the 1920's. I'll name a few:

Joe Lapchick

Dutch Denhert

Nat Holman

John Beckman

Charles "Tarzan" Cooper

These weren't the first official superstars but they were the superstars of that time.

haha...basketball was definitely not invented in 1946.

In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith,[1] a Canadian physical education student and instructor at YMCA Training School[2] (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters to keep the students in shape.

The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20, 1892 with nine players and the game ended at 1-0 and the shot was made from 25 feet

Women's basketball began in 1892.

The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation and to promote a less rough game
basketball was invented in 1946, the ABA was founded by Murice Loofer in 1957. The ABA later combined with NBA to form the league today in late 60's.

Not really sure about superstars, doubt they even have that word back then, but you can probably search who is the 1st player named to the 50 greatest player.
Right after WW2, the pro league started. Mikan was the first pro superstar coz' before him the league was not as recognized yet as baseball. He was the white 7 feet behemoth, unstoppable until the very first black superstar, Russell, came %26amp; dominated basketball for a decade. If ya can buy a cd NBA at 50, it will prove what I mean. You'd enjoy it to thae max

Good times bro
The NBL (National basketball league) started in 1937, and continued until the NBA began in 1947. There were also leagues in Pennsylvania in 1910s and 20s, but as far as superstars, there's no names I can recognize as well as Mikan's.
the NBA started in 1946. the first superstar was george mikan of the minneapolis lakers. he dominated the 1950s.
George Mikan, first great Center, he played for the Lakers from the inception of the NBA in 1946 to the mid 50's i believe
