**The Dream Team: Ballin' Out of Control**
Yo, let's talk about the '92 Dream Team. This squad was straight fire! Packed with 11 future Hall of Famers and a college champ, they were the basketball version of the Avengers and the Justice League! You'd think with that much talent, egos would be outta control, right? Wrong! These dudes put their differences aside and played like a well-oiled machine.
TEAMWORK, that's what made 'em unstoppable. They crushed the competition so hard, other teams were starstruck, asking for autographs and pics like they were meeting superheroes. It wasn't just about scoring points; it was about dominating the game and showing the world what basketball was really about.
The '92 Dream Team wasn't just a team; they were a movement. They proved that when you combine talent with teamwork, you get a force to be reckoned with.

🏀 #basketball#historyfacts The modern era of basketball began with the consolidation of two struggling segregated all-white leagues, a covert deal with the white owner of the Harlem Globetrotters, and the intentional sidelining of the black-owned, all-black New York Renaissance. This pivotal moment in sports history overlooked the potential for including a black-owned franchise in the creation of the National Basketball Association.
🎰 Had the #nba integrated a #blackownedbusiness from its inception, the landscape of society, sports, and American culture might have been significantly different.
📉 Instead, what was once the pre-NBA era's most triumphant basketball franchise, celebrated for its success and significance, faded into obscurity instead of evolving into a storied franchise adorned with banners, legends, and generations of fans.
🛑 The exclusion of the #blackcommunity at this crucial juncture underscores a missed opportunity for #diversity and cultural richness in sports and society.

The criticism of the Los Angeles Lakers drafting Bronny James ignores the fact that NBA teams are for-profit companies. Who is going to boost revenue more, Bronny James or another second round draft pick (unlikely heard of by most NBA fans)? Four major streams of revenue for NBA team:
-Ticket Sales & Stadium Revenue
-Broadcasting Rights & Revenue
-Sponsorship Revenue
-Merchandising and Licensing Revenue
Bronny will:
-Sell tickets
-Increase the number of Lakers nationally broadcast games
-Bring a younger demo of sponsors to the table
-Sell a huge number of jerseys
What's not in the top revenue streams for teams? Winning bonuses...

#PremierLeague#ManUnited#FulahmFC#Predictions
So close! The game went into 2OT (their legs must have been Jell-O after playing the night before) and shot 35.1% from behind the 3-point line.
Chicago is hosting Milwaukee tonight for the ESPN night cap, with the Bucks opponent's shooting 36% from 3 over the last 10 games. My guess is they shoot 12-35 for 34.2% in a tough loss.
I have done extremely simple math for my world-famous "Chicago Bulls 3P% Predictions," but as I wrap up my current data cleaning & preprocessing project and begin my first data prediction model project, I would love to hear what everyone's favorite (or go-to) predictive model is!
#nba#data#predictivemodeling
The Bulls shot 6.9% from the 3-point line against the Pistons last night. They're professionals in the sport, goes to show even the best don't bring their best every day.
Chicago hosts Cleveland tonight with Cleveland fresh off the high of Max Strus hitting 5 3's in the final of 3:42 gameplay, including the game-winning 59-foot swish to win it!
In their last 10 games, Chicago is shooting 35.2% from 3, with Cleveland giving up 39.6% from 3 in their last 10 games.
Given the info, would anyone like to venture a guess as to what they'll shoot in tonight's game? I'm going to say 33.7.
