I'm planning on attending a Christmas Basketball game, and was wondering if there busy or not... I've watched a few on television and most of the time isn't busy.. The game I might go to is at the Palace of Auburn Hills? How busy are Christmas basketball games?
Nah, it actually isn't that busy SURPRISINGLY.
I went to a Phoenix Vs. Dallas game a while back last December.
And I was surprised it wasn't packed! Especially since it was a rivalry game.
Hope I helped man.How busy are Christmas basketball games?
yeah maybe but with the economic times i dont think so

duh the brown guy over their in india who no one has discovered and can beat bryant, james, shaq, carter, nash and all of them "hands down"
Neil- I just like the way he plays.
micheal jordan....and me..
Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player in the planet right now. Capable of shooting from an unlimited range, can pull up and fade back from mid-range at any moment, and can break through double teams to get to the cup at will. His defense is impeccable as he is one of the best defenders in the game. His leadership comes from over 10 years in the league. He wants to win more than anyone else in the world. And when the game is on the line, Kobe takes the game. MVP
which planet? Earth?Mars?Jupiter?Neptune?
im not a huge fan but michael jordan was incredible. the wizards jordan not so much but the bulls had the best player ever. 6 championships that wouldnt of happened without him.the MVP awards and all-star appereances.creating a great player in scottie pippen who is nothing without michael. the last second shots and shocking juke moves. no doubt he was the greatest
me %26amp; Lebron
all the way
michael jordan, do the research
Best player to play basketball, has to be Michael Jordan. People you guys need to learn some basketball-know-how! jesus... Kobe hasn't even had the best career out of all the Lakers players. Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabaar, Wilt Chamberlain... the list goes on... Jerry West, James Worthy... all of these guys have made more impacts on the Lakers for championships! and those are what count!!! Michael led a Chicago team in an era where defense mattered WITHOUT a quality center for many years, MJ got Rodman after a looong time but it took them awhile I'll say! Michael Jordan won championships without a dominate center, Kobe had Shaq and he still stunk in his first three years... MJ averaged stats Kobe is finally achieving now when he was 23! So he was a better statistical player.. lets put it simple:
Stats: Michael Jordan wins... by a lot...
Heart: Has anyone ever heard how competitve Jordan is??! He once played a teammate in ping pong, he kept getting beaten by this player, he tried again and again and again, until he won. And another story from his college days was when his coach during a scrimmage saw that his team was dominating 9-1 in a first to 10 game he switched him over. Jordan was so angry, but he brought his team back and won. These are only small examples of his competitveness and heart.
Championships: Michael Jordan
Awards: Michael Jordan
Better cast: Kobe Bryant
Putting Scotte Pippen and Rodman on the Bulls was a great move by Krause, but they aren't enough to compare to Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamaar Odom, and Derek Fisher. Lets face it folks, Michael Jordan is still the king.
Edit: Scottie was SOMETHING without Jordan! He led the Bulls to a decent season.. Now I think of it he led them to similiar seasons Kobe has led the Lakers to when Shaq left... interesting thought...
Michael Jordan
People, people learn some basketball.
michael jordan is NOT the greatest b-ball player in the planet. Bill Russell is.
Bill Russell: 5 MVP's, 11 rings, 1 NCAA MOP, 2 NCAA titles
Michael Jordan: 5 MVP's, 6 rings, 0 NCAA MOP, 1* NCAA title
* As a Robert Horry-role player to James Worthy, the leader and star player of the '82 UNC champions and the '82 NCAA MOP.
Bill Russell has MORE heart/will to win than Michael Jordan because he was able to maintain his championship run far longer. Russ was champion 11 times in 12 finals appearance in 13 years. Back in college, he lead his no name school to a 55 game winning streak and back to back rings. Consistency and determination to win is russell's hallmark and not Jordan.
Championship: I suggest doing research next time. Russell's 11 %26gt;%26gt; Jordan's 6.
Awards: Half of the awards and stats in Jordan's time DONT EXIST during Russell's time. ESPY awards dont exist in the 60's. Finals MVP and DPoY were awarded only during his last season. Steals and blocks were not counted during Russell's time.
it used to be michael jordan.

For halloween would a basketball player with a joker face be good?
i did not want to be the joker specifically because everyone else wants to be the joker. but then i went into party city and saw the face paint and i was like, okay im the joker.
basically my plan is jersey, shorts, fake basketball tattoos, wrist bands headbands, big *** diamond studs and joker face ( a really good job though)
any ideas to make it better?For halloween would a basketball player with a joker face be good?
Maybe try a mask instead of the paint!
A few over here like http://www.costumestudio.com/products/batman-dark-knight-adult-joker-34-vinyl-mask
pretty affordable at $20 and they have some $60 joker masks which look good too

What can I do to make School Basketball team?
I am athletic, but I have never made the basketball team for my middle school and its my last year as an 8th grader. I am not a huge scorer. Probally like 8 points a game and my ball handling isn't so spectacular but it's decent and I am guard. What can I do to help make basketball team?What can I do to make School Basketball team?
Play hard, play defense, play solidly, don't rush your offence. Let the game come to you, but don't shy away.
Focus on ball-handling/driving or shooting in open space. Definitely go to open gyms or individual work-outs. Don't be complacent. Make sure the coaches know who you are and know what you're about.
For an example there's usually a hundred freshmen that try out at my school. And there's thirteen that fourteen that make the A team and usually 11 that make the B team. This year seven kids are going to the open-gyms, meetings, etc. Those are the kids that will make it for sure even if they're not great.What can I do to make School Basketball team?
i remember the days in middle school, if you want to make it, play defense and make all your lay ups, left and right, coaches don't care for shots because its middle school, but if you hit a couple your chances increases. im on Jv for my high school team and its try outs were alot harder. Idk if your school does this but my coach made us run 25 suicides during tryouts. Good luck and dont give up
ik wat u mean i really want to make the team for my school this year. Its the first year im old enough to tryout. ive been playing my whole life though. im just worried i wont make the team because im so slow. dont worry u will definetly make the team this yearWhat can I do to make School Basketball team?
Work hard during the tryout, and practice outside of the tryout, go to open gyms etc.
And be vocal at the tryouts, coaches like players who are vocal and play defense.
Depends on how much better other people are than you. Just work on it, practice practice practice....and yeah.
be aggressive. practice things that might throw off your defender. like crossovers and stuff. just practice shooting too.
focus on improving all your weakness and maintain your strong points

How do I prevent blisters on my feet when I play basketball?
I have been playing a lot of basketball lately and Ive noticed that after a few days in a row i cant really play because of the blisters that form. I have proper shoes and my shoes fit very well but still blisters always form. Any advice? (sorry if the question was a little gross)How do I prevent blisters on my feet when I play basketball?
Your feet are sweating and the heat from your body and the friction in the shoes is causing the sweat, which is 90% water, to heat up enough to burn the soles of your feet. Wear socks to absorb the sweat, and put a little corn starch or foot powder in your shoes to absorb some of the sweat.

What is a good song for warming up to before a basketball game?
Tomorrow I have a basketball game, and my coach asked if we could find one song to play while we warm up. It has to be fast, and upbeat. What songs can you think of that are fast for pumping you up before a game? He kind of excluded Taylor Swift and rap that has every other line with curses. It can be old and it can be new.

I don't clearly understand the USA law can anyone help me with these 2 cases..?
Bob, a resident of Ohio, while driving on the freeway, hits Mark, a resident of Michigan, and totally destroys Mark's brand new Mercedes Benz. Mark may bring suit in federal district court:
1- because of federal question jurisdiction, OR because there is always federal jurisdiction if there is diversity of citizenship, OR if the amount in controversy is over $75,000, OR if the accident occurred outside of Ohio or Michigan.
The second Case
Fred doesn't like having neighborhood teenagers walk across his yard at night. He rigs an animal trap on the path the teenagers usually use to cross his land. One night, Rock and his friends are walking across the yard when Rock gets caught in the trap. He is taken to the hospital for his injuries.
A. Rock is a trespasser on Fred's property and therefore Fred has the right to strongly discourage anyone from trespassing.
B. Fred has no duty toward Rock.
C. Fred is not free to inflict intentional injury on a trespasser.
D. All of the above.I don't clearly understand the USA law can anyone help me with these 2 cases..?
I'll help you out with the second case: D. Fred is not free to inflict intentional injury on a trespasser. Force can only be used, and only the reasonable amount necessary, to protect life and property when there is clear and imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. If someone is simply cutting across the yard, the intent of the trespasser is not to cause harm, therefore the requirement of imminent death or great bodily harm is not met. The property owner is then subject to criminal prosecution and possibly civil litigation. The expectation of the law is that a reasonable person would either: 1. Call the police or 2. Place the trespasser under private person's (citizen's) arrest and then remand the trespasser immediately to the custody of a law enforcement officer. I think that in this case the most reasonable route would be to call the police - the liability and effort to effect a private person's arrest on a teenager who is only being lazy is too great, call the police and have them go out and speak to the parents.
Hope this helps!I don't clearly understand the USA law can anyone help me with these 2 cases..?
1. The insurance companies will settle it but since it went over state line it can be federal.
2. Nobody is allowed to put a trap in their yard even know it is their property. He can call the police, or put up a fence, but a trap is illigal.miata
1- because of federal question jurisdiction, OR because there is always federal jurisdiction if there is diversity of citizenship, OR if the amount in controversy is over $75,000, OR if the accident occurred outside of Ohio or Michigan.
The second Case
Fred doesn't like having neighborhood teenagers walk across his yard at night. He rigs an animal trap on the path the teenagers usually use to cross his land. One night, Rock and his friends are walking across the yard when Rock gets caught in the trap. He is taken to the hospital for his injuries.
A. Rock is a trespasser on Fred's property and therefore Fred has the right to strongly discourage anyone from trespassing.
B. Fred has no duty toward Rock.
C. Fred is not free to inflict intentional injury on a trespasser.
D. All of the above.I don't clearly understand the USA law can anyone help me with these 2 cases..?
I'll help you out with the second case: D. Fred is not free to inflict intentional injury on a trespasser. Force can only be used, and only the reasonable amount necessary, to protect life and property when there is clear and imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. If someone is simply cutting across the yard, the intent of the trespasser is not to cause harm, therefore the requirement of imminent death or great bodily harm is not met. The property owner is then subject to criminal prosecution and possibly civil litigation. The expectation of the law is that a reasonable person would either: 1. Call the police or 2. Place the trespasser under private person's (citizen's) arrest and then remand the trespasser immediately to the custody of a law enforcement officer. I think that in this case the most reasonable route would be to call the police - the liability and effort to effect a private person's arrest on a teenager who is only being lazy is too great, call the police and have them go out and speak to the parents.

2. Nobody is allowed to put a trap in their yard even know it is their property. He can call the police, or put up a fence, but a trap is illigal.

Mazda Protege
Well the 2002 Mercedes is probably not going to be reliable. They were still cutting corners on their cars in that year. They just now got their quality back upI'm getting a car in a few months I'm fighting between a few cars can any one help?
Honda civic
but you can look up all of them
type into searchbox
2002 honda civic problems
2002 Acura problems
and so on wil get recalls and other problems
can aslo check by comsumer reports
2004 subaru impreza, incredibly reliable with power and comfortability to boot! Great aftermarket following and theyre fairly easy to drive.I'm getting a car in a few months I'm fighting between a few cars can any one help?
I'd go with the Honda or the Acura. They are the best made of the lot. You can go to the Kelly Blue Book site %26amp; see what they're selling for.
i would get the 2002-06 Acura RSX Type S and do this .

This is funny. Every single company has a big fat lobbyist associated with it. maybe it is a GOOD thing that his sponsors are leaving his program.
Because they don't want to be hassled by John Podesta, Van Jones, Jim Wallis, or anyone of the numerous George Soros organizations.Why do American Businesses refuse to assocaite themselves with Glenn Beck?
Probably because he changes his stance on issues more than you change your underwear.
And yet the man's popularity continues to rise. How about list Air America's sponsors. Oh wait...
LOL!!!Why do American Businesses refuse to assocaite themselves with Glenn Beck?
The same reason you don't see Farrakhan doing commercials for Coca Cola.
Two words... Snake oil.
CAUSE GLEN BECK IS A FAT LIAR
It's really hurting him isn't it.
So the fu-- what, at least he has a top rated show
I'd love to see the list that wouldn't even think about advertising on
Madchow or Olberwoman
they're following the crowd although I don't like Glenn Beck much
It's bad marketing to associate your product with a very polarizing opinion, no matter what it may be. Advertisers don't want to alienate anyone. If you listen to Fox News on XM radio you'll find that all the ads are targeted specifically at older business owners, usually male. Commercials tend be for gold, small business loans, IRS issues, prostate cancer and macular degeneration. I'd be very surprised if I ever heard a commercial on there for the new album by Ke$ha, you know?

I'd love to see the list that wouldn't even think about advertising on
Madchow or Olberwoman
they're following the crowd although I don't like Glenn Beck much
It's bad marketing to associate your product with a very polarizing opinion, no matter what it may be. Advertisers don't want to alienate anyone. If you listen to Fox News on XM radio you'll find that all the ads are targeted specifically at older business owners, usually male. Commercials tend be for gold, small business loans, IRS issues, prostate cancer and macular degeneration. I'd be very surprised if I ever heard a commercial on there for the new album by Ke$ha, you know?
Why are gasoline prices such a mystery to Americans?
I was talking with my girlfriend's parents this weekend. They asked me quite honestly, why gas prices have gone up so much? "Are we running out of oil?" they asked. I told them that as long as there are enough people in China and India who are willing to pay four or more dollars a gallon for gasoline, the world price would rise to that level, and no reasonable supply increase will make a material dent in the price. They looked at me with strange, puzzled looks. "Ok, let me put this another way: When you go to Target or Mervins and buy cheap clothes and shoes made in China and India, you're supporting a business in those far away places, and taking a job away from someone in the USA. We've all been doing this for SO MANY YEARS now that the economies in these distant places have matured, and now those people have as much, or more buying power than we do. We did it to ourselves!" Mercedes Benz in Germany announced they have more luxury car buyers in China than the US! No joke!Why are gasoline prices such a mystery to Americans?
Because you yourself are such a shining beacon of wisdom and knowledge that the rest of the world just can't keep up.
True. But in some places the price of gas is $8 or higher thanks to taxs because countries are trying to get people to use more energy efficient cars and less often. I think the US should do this b/c the money is only going to help our schools and what not and we wont all die thanks to global warming.Why are gasoline prices such a mystery to Americans?
Yeah, it's very interesting to hear people talk about gas prices in the U.S.. Even a diff. of a couple cents will raise discussion.
In other countries, gas prices have been much more expensive than in the U.S. for years past.. Americans really have no right to complain if they want to drive around in Escalades and Hummers
Actually the price of oil is going up in the US higher than the rest of the world. FX rates have a lot to do with this.
Here is a well written article that explains it.

So, from a single conversation with your girlfriend's parents, you concluded that gasoline prices are a mystery to all Americans? Every single American? Based upon this sampling of two?
That's right. I try to find clothes made in the U.S.A. and I can't find any.I feel betrayed when i pay up the ying yang for clothes made in China.
It all around war and profit, you have much to learn about if you don't know this.
we went to iraq to take over their oil use it all up war inflation..we have plenty of oil available...just a way to make the right peopple rich (government) and the poor people poorer (society)
'scuse me.....Im gonna return to the tv and watch something with some substance after that......like, Leave it to Beaver!
Really. I agree, most Americans are in denial. I actually know someone that said we should print more money (and they work for a bank!)...um, that would make gas MORE expensive, cause our dollar value is already in decline. And we haven't been pumping much domestic oil!!
About luxury cars in China...98% of the top 2% of weathiest Americans drive used cars, so having new things doesn't impress me. I have excellent credit, my own house and money in the bank because I don't blow money like my neighbors do.
BTW, I shop at the Salvation Army not because I'm poor, but so my money goes back into my community and NOT to a sweatshop in Bangledesh or somewhere. Honestly, I don't think anyone notices---a black skirt is a black skirt, no matter where you buy it.
cuz the president keeps the war and
we get gas from iraq
and
the ppl there r mad
so he went over 2 iraq
cuz we didnt get alot of gas
sooo he made the prices go up cuz we just had
2 have more gas
(idky)
they keep raising the prices in iraq that means they have 2 raise the prices
here so they can make the profits
i think its all the presidents fault
cuz of the war
i think that republicans(idk how 2 spell)
cshould think about how the war is making
the usa worse
ps. most of this was in a sarcastic voice
its not a mystery. people just like to complain a lot. the thing is the dollar has a new value. like in the old days 5 dollars was A LOT of money to them. now its different. oil is in high demand. and it takes a lot to pump it out. but remember their are other things we can use if we do run out. remember the electric car?
It's admirable that you're interested in economics and how one country's economy affects another country. I'd like to suggest some other ideas about economics that might interest you.
Concerning gas prices: you might be surprised to know how much in the way of taxation is included in the price of gas. This type of taxation is called Value-Added Tax (VAT), which is a hidden tax that is not revealed to the customer. You can drive from one county to another and pay lots less in one county and lots more in the other.
I don't exactly know what you mean by "we have done it to ourselves." The price of gas in Europe, for instance, is much higher than it is in the US. Their high cost of gas does not cause our cost of gas to go up. Often you will find that much of their cost of gas is made up of hidden taxes.
The US has a vibrant economy, even when it slows down. Our economy is certainly more robust than Europe's. You mention Germany. I visited there and learned that they're having a terrible time with their economy, ever since East Germany merged with West Germany. The West Germans (who have been living in a free-market economy for decades) were seeing higher and higher taxes on them, to compensate for the stagnant economy of East Germany (which had been living in a Soviet-Union non-free economy).
As to China's economy, do you think you would be better off living in China? Do they offer the freedoms you expect from a free-market economy? Freedom of speech, for instance?
If Mercedes Benz is selling more "luxury cars" in China than it is in the US, I would like to have them define a "luxury car." When I was in Germany, I saw all different-priced cars, as well as trucks, that were made by Mercedes-Benz. It's also possible that "luxury cars" selling best in the US are made by other manufacturers who do a better job of designing and pricing their cars for the US market.
As for jobs overseas, many times US companies outsource to countries with lagging economies. The US companies gain in that workers in these countries will work for less (since the salary is high to them) and the US companies can pass along their savings by charging a lower price for their products. The customer gains from these lower prices.
Those in other countries with slow economies gain, because the salaries that US companies will pay are higher than the salaries that companies in their own countries will pay.
I haven't heard the expression "global economy" in a while. But the term well describes how companies handle various areas of their business. We aren't giving away jobs. We are simply offering citizens of other countries a chance to participate in the US economy. People in the US are living and working in the global economy. People in other countries are also living and working in the global economy. It benefits us all for people all over the world to earn more and increase their standards of living.
Quite often people make the mistake of comparing today's prices with those of the past. However, one has to take into consideration the effects of inflation. Over time, money loses value. What cost a nickel in 1950 may now cost ten or twenty dollars. However, balancing out the loss in purchasing power of the dollar, salaries have risen. A job that paid $3,000/yr. in 1970 may now pay $12,000 to $25,000/yr. or more today (estimates as salaries vary from location to location).
All of these factors need to be taken into account when considering the US economy, as well as the economies of other countries.
I think that you might want to consider these issues on your own. It may be that your ideas have been shaped by the ideas of your parents, your schoolmates, your teachers or one-sided media outlets. It's always a good idea to consider many views of how an economy works. I would recommend to you the writings of Thomas Sowell (pronounced Soo-el), an economist, author and fellow at the Stanford Hoover Institute, who writes about economics in plain simple terms. He has a syndicated column and so should be easy to find online. Another easy-to-follow economist is Walter Williams, who is a professor of economics at George Mason University. He also has a syndicated column that you should be able to access online. (It's purely a coincidence that both of these economists happen to be African-Americans.)
Just some ideas to consider.

Toyota
Lexus
Scion

Subaru
Mitsubishi
I tried to name all of the major brands and their sub-brands. If I forgot some forgive me.I also tried to keep it US centric so that's why there aren't stuff like Seat and Opel.Which country(of these) makes the best cars?
VWAG/Porsche just look at those beautiful cars, affordable to hyperexotic! Question: where the hell is italy: fiat, alfa romeo, ferrari, maserati. pagani. Also what happened to Koenigsegg and Volvo!
In terms of reliability and quality-Japan
In terms of Performance and quality-German
In terms of price-American.Which country(of these) makes the best cars?
japanese and european r best
It all relates to what the buyer likes, ie.
Kei car or Crossover?
Take Italy. Ferrari (Fiat), Lambo (VW). A Freind of mine's mom used to own a Fiat Cinquecento, that's smaller than a Matchbox car, fyi. The new F430 is outclassed by the newest Vette.
90% of the "supercar" companies are Italian, but all are out done. Chevy beats Ferrari. Lambos are really Audis. Volvos, Jags, and Mazdas are all really FORDs!!!!! 3 countries-1 company. Lexus and Toyotas (Japenese) are US made.Which country(of these) makes the best cars?
