Eating disorder
In addition to socioeconomic status being considered a cultural risk factor so is the world of sports . Athletes and eating disorders tend to go hand in hand , especially the sports where weight is a competitive factor . Gymnastics , horse back riding , wrestling , body building , and dancing are just a few that fall into this category of weight dependent sports . Eating disorders among individuals that participate in competitive activities , especially women , often lead to having physical and biological changes related to their weight that often mimic prepubescent stages . Oftentimes as women 's bodies change they lose their competitive edge which leads them to taking extreme measures to maintain their younger body shape . Men often struggle with binge eating followed by excessive exercise while focusing on building muscle rather than losing fat , but this goal of gaining muscle is just as much an eating disorder as obsessing over thinness . The following statistics taken from Susan Nolen - Hoeksema 's book , ( ab ) normal psychology , shows the estimated percentage of athletes that struggle with eating disorders based on the category of sport .
Basketball court
The shape of the key changed from a trapezoid to a rectangle as it is in the NBA , with NBA dimensions .

LeBron James
Before naming James to the 2008 Olympic team , Team USA managing director Jerry Colangelo and coach Mike Krzyzewski gave James an ultimatum to improve his attitude , and he heeded their advice . At the FIBA Americas Championship 2007 , he averaged 18.1 points , 3.6 rebounds , and 4.7 assists per game , including a 31 - point performance against Argentina in the championship game , the most ever by an American in an Olympic qualifier . Team USA went 10 -- 0 , winning the gold medal and qualifying for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing , China . James credited the team 's attitude and experience for their improvement , saying : `` I do n't think we understood what it meant to put on a USA uniform and all the people that we were representing in 2004 . We definitely know that now . '' At the Olympics , Team USA went unbeaten , winning their first gold medal since 2000 . In the final game , James turned in 14 points , 6 rebounds , and 3 assists against Spain .
Midwestern United States
After the sociological study Middletown ( 1929 ) , which was based on Muncie , Indiana , commentators used Midwestern cities ( and the Midwest generally ) as `` typical '' of the nation . Earlier , the rhetorical question , ' Will it play in Peoria ? ' , had become a stock phrase using Peoria , Illinois to signal whether something would appeal to mainstream America . The region has a higher employment - to - population ratio ( the percentage of employed people at least 16 years - old ) than the Northeast , the West , the South , or the Sun Belt states as of 2011 .
Rules of netball
In 1893 , Martina Bergman - Österberg informally introduced one version of basketball to her female physical training students at the Hampstead Physical Training College in London , after having seen the game being played in the United States . The rules of this game were modified at Madame Österberg 's college over several years . Substantial revisions were made during a visit in 1897 from another American teacher , Miss Porter , who introduced rules from women 's basketball in the United States ; the game also moved outdoors onto grass courts , the playing court was divided into three zones , and the baskets were replaced with rings that had nets . By 1960 , the rules of netball were standardised internationally . An international governing body was formed to oversee the sport globally , now called the International Netball Federation ( INF ) .
American popular music
By the 1960s , the term rhythm and blues had no longer been in wide use ; instead , terms like soul music were used to describe popular music by black artists . In the 1980s , however , rhythm and blues came back into use , most often in the form of R&B , a usage that has continued to the present . Contemporary R&B arose when sultry funk singers like Prince became very popular , alongside dance - oriented pop stars like Michael Jackson and Madonna .

Kobe Bryant
On January 22 , 2006 , Bryant scored a career - high 81 points in a 122 -- 104 victory against the Toronto Raptors . In addition to breaking the previous franchise record of 71 set by Elgin Baylor , Bryant 's 81 - point game was the second - highest point total in NBA history , surpassed only by Chamberlain 's 100 - point game in 1962 . Whereas Chamberlain was fed repeatedly by teammates for inside shots in a blowout win , Bryant created his own shot -- mostly from the outside -- in a game which the Lakers trailed at halftime by 14 and did not pull away until the fourth quarter . Chamberlain , playing in an era when the games were paced faster and scoring opportunities were more plentiful , accounted for 59 percent of his team 's points in Philadelphia 's 169 -- 147 win , compared to Bryant scoring 66 percent of the Lakers ' 122 points . In that same month , Bryant also became the first player since 1964 to score 45 points or more in four consecutive games , joining Chamberlain and Baylor as the only players ever to do so . For the month of January , Bryant averaged 43.4 points per game , the eighth highest single month scoring average in NBA history and highest for any player other than Chamberlain . By the end of the 2005 -- 06 season , Bryant set Lakers single - season franchise records for most 40 - point games ( 27 ) and most points scored ( 2,832 ) . He won the league 's scoring title for the first time by averaging 35.4 points per game , becoming just the fifth player in league history to average at least 35 in a season . Bryant finished in fourth place in the voting for the 2006 NBA Most Valuable Player Award , but received 22 first place votes -- second only to winner Steve Nash .

The Celtics also hold the record for consecutive titles ; they won 10 consecutive Eastern Division titles from 1957 -- 66 . The Golden State Warriors and the Detroit Pistons hold the distinction of being the only teams to have won both East and West titles . Twenty - three of the 30 active franchises have won at least one conference title . The Denver Nuggets , Minnesota Timberwolves , Memphis Grizzlies , and Toronto Raptors have each played in at least one Conference Finals ( Denver has played in three ) , but they have each failed to win their respective conference title . Three other franchises , the Charlotte Hornets , Los Angeles Clippers , and New Orleans Pelicans have never appeared in the Conference Finals . Of the 143 conference and divisional champions , 46 were won by the team who had or tied for the best regular season record for that season .

Kobe Bryant
Bryant requested that opposing teams on the road not hold any on - court ceremonies in his honor or present him any gifts in public . Prior to announcing his retirement , he had been steadfast about not wanting the fuss of a staged farewell tour , preferring to hear boos instead of cheers . Still , he was honored around the league with video tributes , and fans greeted him with ovations , even at arenas that historically jeered him like TD Garden in Boston and Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento . Previously , Bryant was respected but not beloved , and he was astonished at the cheers he was now receiving .
Detroit Pistons

Basketball
The overhead pass is used to pass the ball over a defender . The ball is released while over the passer 's head .
Michael Jordan
Jordan had a versatile offensive game . He was capable of aggressively driving to the basket , as well as drawing fouls from his opponents at a high rate ; his 8,772 free throw attempts are the ninth - highest total of all time . As his career progressed , Jordan also developed the ability to post up his opponents and score with his trademark fadeaway jump shot , using his leaping ability to `` fade away '' from block attempts . According to Hubie Brown , this move alone made him nearly unstoppable . Despite media criticism as a `` selfish '' player early in his career , Jordan 's 5.3 assists per game also indicate his willingness to defer to his teammates . After shooting under 30 % from three - point range in his first five seasons in the NBA , including a career - low 13 % in the 1987 -- 88 season , Jordan improved to a career - high 50 % in the 1994 -- 95 season . The three - point shot became more of a focus of his game from 1994 -- 95 to 1996 -- 97 , when the NBA shortened its three - point line to 22 ft ( 6.7 m ) ( from 23 ft 9 in ( 7.24 m ) ) . His three - point field - goal percentages ranged from 35 % to 43 % in seasons in which he attempted at least 230 three - pointers between 1989 -- 90 and 1996 -- 97 . For a guard , Jordan was also a good rebounder ( 6.2 per game ) .
PGA European Tour
The European Tour is traditionally the first overseas move for outstanding players from non-European countries in the Commonwealth , long a major source for elite golfers , such as Greg Norman and Nick Price . These players tended to move to the PGA Tour as a second step . However , lately the European Tour is losing this role as more Commonwealth golfers choose to move directly to the U.S. There is also a current trend for young UK golfers to play primarily on the PGA Tour . In some cases , such as that of Luke Donald , this is a natural consequence after completing a golf scholarship at a U.S. university . Such scholarships are not available ( or even legal ) in Europe .
American popular music
Salsa music is a diverse and predominantly Caribbean rhythm that is popular in many Latin American countries . Salsa incorporates multiple styles and variations ; the term can be used to describe most any form of the popular Cuban - derived musical genres ( like chachachá and mambo ) .

Basketball
An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through certain types of physical contact is illegal and is called a personal foul . These are most commonly committed by defensive players ; however , they can be committed by offensive players as well . Players who are fouled either receive the ball to pass inbounds again , or receive one or more free throws if they are fouled in the act of shooting , depending on whether the shot was successful . One point is awarded for making a free throw , which is attempted from a line 15 feet ( 4.6 m ) from the basket .
Lakers–Clippers rivalry
Hollywood celebrities are often present at Lakers games , while the most recognizable Clipper fan at times is superfan Clipper Darrell . `` We do at times feel like the stepchild '' , said Jordan . `` But at the same time , those guys have been highly successful . They have banners in their arena . '' Citing the energy of Clippers fans , Bryant called away games against the Clippers at Staples his second favorite venue behind Madison Square Garden , the home of the New York Knicks .
