    He averaged 20.8 minutes, 5.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 40.7 percent from the field and 90.2 percent from the line last season. His primary strength has been his ability to play both shooting guard and small forward with the ability to hit three-pointers. His primary weakness has been his steadily declining field goal percentage over the past few years along with his aging athleticism. Butler was signed primarily as a veteran presence to help mentor the younger players on the roster and remains a fantasy non-factor in…

    He demonstrated courage, hope, and peace between the whites and blacks when he played basketball in the south. He helped Godfrey Dillard get through the season at Vanderbilt because he was dealing the racism and all the horrible comments that were being thrown at him. When Perry Wallace was playing he heard these words from the crowd, “ We’re gonna lynch you, boy.” Which meant he was being threatened to be hanged. He inspired others to be like him, to show that they can get through it just like he did when playing in the south against LSU. He wanted to do this so that the kids could look up to him as a hero and a prodigy. In all the years he played basketball he shows characteristic traits to the other players he plays against, and shows them no pain or fear because if you were to show that they would target you the…

    Was it his family background? Many people believe it was his family background because of how his mother and father raised him. His Mother, Susan Crow, was an educator and his father, Warren Bradley, was an investor. Sadly, Bradley’s father became very ill. In spite of his illness his mother became successful and was able to have a wonderful career. His father did everything he could do to help Bradley become the basketball player he always wanted to be. His mother was devoted to his father because she knew that he was not able to do the things a healthy father could do for their son. Bradley had things to take care of at home when it came to taking care of his father and helping his mother. However, this is not correct. As significant as Bradley’s family background was for him, it is not the principle factor of his success of a citizen- athlete.…

    Dennis Rodman, whose extraordinary rebounding skills helped the Pistons and Bulls win five championships, may be better-known among NBA fans for his unusual haircuts, offcourt antics and turbulent retirement. He reminded Bulls fans and writers of that side of him Wednesday, with a colorful and tear-filled press conference before Game Two of the Eastern Conference finals between the Bulls and Miami. (In an unintentional homage to the Worm, the Bulls gathered a greater share of offensive rebounds than their opponents, though they still lost, knotting the series at a game apiece.)…
