Dress Code In Basketball Culture
Next, the belief for basketball culture is to follow the dress code. In basketball culture, many people have different types of dress code for NBA and public schools. For example, the professional athletes from NBA must wear a nice suit, or wear fashion types of clothes. For high schools and university colleges, in an away game, they must dress in a sports jacket with sweatpants. But for a home game, the students must dress a collared shirt in a tie and black pant. For NBA and public schools, they must follow the rules for them to participate in the game. If they didn’t follow the rules, they would get a big punishment. For example, NBA athletes would get suspended for a couple of games, or get a fined that would cost them around 10,000 dollars.

    Shot Clock In High School Basketball

    Kobe “Black Mamba” Bryant, Kevin “Big Ticket” Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Rashad Lewis, Amar’e Stoudemire, and LeBron “King” James are some of the legendary basketball players to be drafted directly from high school to the NBA, one can only imagine what other talents might have emerged if the high school game was more like the professional league. A regulation shot clock would make the game more enjoyable for fans and closer to the professional or collegiate game, along with the fact that several states have already petitioned for use of a shot clock. The shot clock would help modern day high caliber high school players prepare for college or professional basketball. Players in the new “shot clock…

    Dress Code Structural Functionalism

    If you look at this issue from a Structural Functionalist point of view then the new dress code can be considered a latent function of our society. To most of the players and society as a whole the changes were unanticipated and unrecognized. Why couldn't they just have gone about implementing the dress code as they had in other major sports such as football and hockey? In these sports dress codes are in place but with less emphasis placed on what you can and can not wear. The players understand what they should wear to meet the "business casual" dress code and for the most part abide by it. If they do not follow the dress code a fine is issued to the player. But the NBA players are expected to not wear certain items or clothing to meet the dress code and if they do not follow these rules they will not be given a fine like football or hockey but instead given warnings of their conduct then possibly face game suspensions if they do not follow the…

    Influences Of Racism In The NHL And The NBA

    1) Race and racism have several influences of the shaping and image of both the NHL and the NBA. The NHL is viewed as a white-race dominant league and the NBA is viewed as a black-race dominant league. It is often perceived for this reason that the NHL is the more professional of the two leagues and that the athletes in the NBA are less professional due to their choice of clothing apparel most specifically. The NBA and NHL are both known to discriminate against the black athletes and it is believed that there is an occurrence of democratic racism in both sports. It is often seen this way in the NHL because of the lack of black athletes in the sport and it is seen this way in the NBA due to the institution of a dress code that only affected…

    Basketball Uniforms During The 1920's

    Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, basketball became a popular sport to play for both men and women like Wilma Jean Buntin. Born in 1909, Buntin described her experiences playing basketball at John H. Reagan High School in Houston, Texas, particularly wearing her first pair of the basketball suits: “We had a sweater that came over and it had to have long sleeves, and then we had these black bloomers that were box pleated. […] We began to have the shorts, but they came right here at the knees.” Wilma Jean Buntin’s description of the basketball uniforms reflected the type of sports clothing wore during the 1920s. These uniforms called gym suits emulated the different ideas of the decade known as the Flapper. The sweater…

    Nba Draft Research Paper

    "The rule makes sure that players are not rushing into the NBA when they are not ready but also provides an opportunity for these players who decide to leave to mature both physically and mentally." (publicargument 8) New players are both more eager, and weaker, therefore, are more likely to get hurt when playing. While some people may say that high schoolers should be mature already, many of them have had no formal training, and therefore are still not ready. "More than 3.5 million children ages 14 and younger get hurt annually playing sports or participating in recreational activities." (stanfordchildrens 4) Younger players are more prone to getting injured. Even older and more experienced players get injured at a high rate, too, as shown on prezi: "The NBA has a injury rate of 44.6% per player." (Prezi 1)…

    College Basketball: The Fab Five

    In college basketball, alley oops, fancy no look passes, and trash talking, are just some of the things we are now accustomed to today. Before 1991 though, it was all about making the simple plays just to get the ball in the hoop. Before the 90's all players would wear long white socks and short shorts, but now baggy shorts that go to your knees and black socks are in style around the world. What caused these changes to take place? It was a group of college basketball kids called the Fab Five at the University of Michigan. These five phenomenal players brought their own "swag" or style to the court and didn't care how people viewed them. At Michigan, the Fab Five represented a cultural phenomenon that impacted the country in a permanent and…

    The Pros And Cons Of Dress Codes

    How would you feel if you weren’t allowed to express the way you felt at all? Better yet, how would you feel if your education was being disturbed because of your clothes? Many girls all over the United States are taken out of their class to change their clothes because they are “too revealing.” This is something that girls all over the country have to deal with this, but girls at our school also have to deal with it. The dress code at Lincolnview is unfair because the rules are ridiculous, it is unfair/sexist, and students cannot express themselves.…

    Why Do Professional Athletes Be Paid?

    The NBA is considered to be the premier men's basketball league in the country. Most players anticipate their name being called in the NBA draft. The draft decides how much money and for what team they play for the first few years. The average salary for an NBA player today is about 5 million dollars. With a salary like this, it’s no wonder why NBA athletes are some of the elite basketball players in the country. They get to play the game they love in front on millions of people. Another appealing aspect is that these athletes stay in the United States with family and friends. Because the majority of…

    Discourse Community Analysis

    Respect among basketball, football, baseball or players of any sport, is like nothing else. The common mutual respect is so different because one minute it could be there and the next minute it would be gone, and vice versa. Between coaches, players, and referees there is a lot of potential respect but a lot of potential disrespect as well. This respect isn’t earned quickly or easy at all. This is the kind of respect that is so strong that it could last a lifetime or end in a minute. That’s why playing your best when you really need to is so important in sports, especially among friends and people you look up to, the people you go to when you need help with something. The experts of our community are usually the people who have been playing the longest. They are who lead us when we practice or make plays. The last thing you want to do is bring any kind of negativity to the basketball court because it spreads like wild fire. One sarcastic comment or snide remark that is taken the wrong way in the heat of the moment can drastically change someone’s opinion of another person.…

    Influence Of Latino Influence On American Sports

    Right now, the NBA is considered an urban, inner-city sport dominated by African Americans. This perception is enforced by the media’s constant attention to players who defy what white Americans consider, “normal.” This image broke through during the early 1990s when here at the University of Michigan, a brash and flashy group of five freshman debuted. They were dubbed The Fab Five.…

    The racial integration of sport is an exploitation of minorities. The inclusion of athletes such as Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby into modern baseball 50 years ago was financially motivated. The inclusion of minorities would increase the fan base as well as expand the talent pool for the progressive teams which helped them have an advantage over their opponents.…

    The Influence Of Basketball

    On the 20th of October, 1998, the world was blessed with a talented basketball player. (That would be me.) Growing up, I didn’t really have reasons to like basketball. My family did not play or have interest in any kind of sport, besides for my father turning on the Lakers game once in a while. So my influence had to come about from a mishap. A mishap I am very thankful for. The television was playing the Lakers game in my living room one night when my attention was caught by an astonishing performance by a player wearing the number 8. Shot after shot he would score with emphasis, scowling after each basket. This player was arguably one of the greatest professional basketball players still to this day, Kobe Bryant. It was at this moment that…

    College Basketball Persuasive

    For the past 7 years high school basketball players have had to be one year removed from high school and at least nineteen years of age if they have wanted to participate in the NBA draft. Before this time, high school basketball players had the option of leaving high school after their senior year in hopes of playing in the NBA. College was not a requirement for these athletes. This became very controversial when many players were coming to the NBA straight after high school and turning out to be “busts” for NBA teams. Many players couldn’t handle the big leap from going to the prom, to making millions of dollars and competing at a very high level. Eventually the NBA made a rule that all high school graduates had to be at least one year removed from high school and at least nineteen years of age. With this new rule, athletes started going to college for only one year before participating in the NBA draft. This is what sparked the…

    Racism In College Basketball

    Most of us have had the dream at some point in our life. That dream of draining a last-second three pointer to win an NBA championship, or hit a home run to win a World Series. This is a dream that every human should be able to chase. Unfortunately, until recently some people were not able to turn this dream into reality simply because of the color of their skin. Racism cause widespread hatred throughout the entire sports community and the entire world as a whole. Through bravery, persistence, and determination, several African-American individuals and teams have knocked down the wall of racism in sports, and paved the way for African Americans to pursue their dreams of playing collegiate and professional sports. Some of these teams and players…
