After reckless young lawyer Gordon Bombay gets arrested for drunk driving, he must coach a kids hockey team for his community service. Gordon has experience on the ice, but isn’t eager to return to hockey, a point hit home by his tense dealings with his own former coach, Jack Reilly. The reluctant Gordon eventually grows to appreciate his team, which includes promising young Charlie Conway, and leads them to take on Reilly’s tough players. Credits: TheMovieDb.

I enjoyed it, in short. Satisfying sports story, a solid message, decent humour and a serviceable cast. Emilio Estevez is fine in the role of Gordon, he’s definitely the best actor on display here. The numerous child actors are all alright, Shaun Weiss (Goldberg) is the one who stands out in my memory most. A nice little film about a local, youth ice hockey team, one for the family.

Dream Team

The 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team, nicknamed the "Dream Team", was the first American Olympic team to feature active professional players from the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team has often been described as the greatest sports team ever assembled.

At the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona, the team defeated its opponents by an average of 44 points en route to the gold medal against Croatia.

The team was collectively inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2009, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010, and the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2017. The Naismith Hall of Fame calls the team "the greatest collection of basketball talent on the planet". In addition to the team induction, 11 players and three coaches have also been inducted individually into the Naismith Hall of Fame.

Greenwashing mit biologisch abbaubaren Kaffeekapseln

Anlässlich des Internationalen Tag des Kaffees am 1.

SAOPŠTEN NBA TIM POVODOM 75 GODINA LIGE

Njujork, 22. oktobar 2021 – Ovaj tim je sastavljen od igrača koji su osvojili ukupno 158 NBA šampionata i 730 puta su odabrani u NBA All-star selekciju, kombinovan je sa 110 KIA NBA nagrada za najkorisnijeg igrača i Bill Russell NBA MVP nagradu u finalu. Postigli su više od 1,5 miliona poena.

Ovo su samo neka od kolektivnih dostignuća igrača koji čine NBA tim sastavljen povodom 75. godišnjice, što je objavljeno preko TNT-a i ESPN-a od 19. do 21. oktobra kada je liga najavila svoju jubilarnu 75. godišnju sezonu.

NBA tim izabran povodom 75. godišnjice su izabrali članovi panela koje su činili sadašnji i bivši NBA igrači, treneri, generalni direktori i rukovodioci timova i lige, legende WNBA i sportski novinari. Od glasača je zatraženo da izaberu 75 najvećih igrača u istoriji NBA bez obzira na poziciju. Panelisti nisu rangirali svoje izbore. Sadašnjim i bivšim igračima nije bilo dozvoljeno da glasaju za sebe.

Kao rezultat nerešenog rezultata prilikom glasanja, tim za 75. godišnjicu ima 76 igrača. Ključni momenti ovog tima uključuju:

·         Jedanaest aktivnih igrača imenovano je u tim za 75. godišnjicu: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Carmelo Anthony, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, James Harden, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul i Russell Westbrook.

·         Svih 50 članova NBA tima za 50. godišnjicu, imenovanih 1996. godine, izabrani su i u tim za 75. godišnjicu.

·         Tim za 75. godišnjicu uključuje četiri igrača koji su 1951. godine igrali na prvoj NBA All-Star utakmici (Paul Arizin, Bob Cousy, George Mikan i Dolph Schayes), prvog dobitnika KIA NBA nagrade za najkorisnijeg igrača (Bob Pettit za 1955-56. sezonu) i prvog dobitnika Bill Russell NBA MVP nagrade u finalu (Jerry West za finale NBA 1969).

·         Bill Russell se priključio Cousy-u, Mikan-u i Pettit-u koji su kao jedina četiri igrača imenovani u sva četiri NBA jubilarna tima: tim za 25. godišnjicu (imenovano 10 igrača), tim za 35. godišnjicu (imenovano 11 igrača), tim za 50. godišnjicu i tim za 75. godišnjicu . (Tim za 25. godišnjicu bio je jedini od četiri tima koji nije dozvolio uključivanje aktivnih igrača u to vreme.)

·         Šest internacionalnih igrača iz šest zemalja i teritorija izabrano je povodom 75. godišnjice u tim: Antetokounmpo (Grčka), Tim Duncan (Američka Devičanska ostrva), Patrick Ewing (Jamajka), Steve Nash (Kanada), Dirk Nowitzki (Nemačka) i Hakeem Olajuwon (Nigerija).

·         Pet NBA legendi koji su ambasadori jubilarne 75. godišnje sezone deo su tima za 75. godišnjicu: Clyde Drexler, Magic Johnson, Nowitzki, Pettit i Oscar Robertson. Predstavljajući različita doba istorije lige, ambasadori će se pojavljivati tokom sezone 2021-22 i imati značajno prisustvo na NBA All-Star 2022 u Klivlendu.

Tim odabran povodom 75. godišnjice NBA lige je naveden u nastavku po abecednom redu, a prati ga spisak učesnika u glasanju. Glasanje je tabelarno prikazala nezavisna računovodstvena firma Ernst & Young LLP. Za profile igrača svakog člana tima za 75. godišnjicu kliknite ovde i posetite NBA.com/75.

How does Tumblr function as a Digital Community?

In 2014 Tumblr was the fastest growing social platform (Lunden, 2014), since then numbers may have declined yet it is still a place that houses an important digital community. Like most social platforms users can follow, reblog (share) images and like eachothers posts although, Tumblr is unique in the way that it’s a blogging site yet users communicate primarily through images. It’s currency, ‘reposts’ are another form of ‘likes’ which displays the popularity of the image but direct comments on posts are not an available feature. In order for users to comment, they must repost the image which ends up being displayed on their own blog. David Karp who founded Tumblr states that this feature is key to discourage overly negative comments, diffusing comment wars that ignite and exacerbate bullying and hate speech (Kanai, 2015). 

 A platform that provides connectivity and actively encourages and relies upon the creation and sharing of content, Tumblr is the perfect environment for niche communities to thrive. The ‘hug box’ theory (Kruse et.al, 2017) addresses the ease of eliminating anything we dislike or disagree with online translating to an unfollow, unfriend or delete. This filtration process enables us to make sense of the vast information we are faced with on social media and connects us to likeminded communities with similar interests (Kruse, 2017).  

“These virtual communities based on shared interests rather than shared physical space can be more democratic, less oppressive” (Jenkins, 2016) and despite the absence of a personal profile or social network, the anonymity users have on Tumblr enables them to voice their opinions freely (Papacharissi, 2011). This freedom of speech allows self-expression to be exercised to its full potential with no consequences of a ‘tarnished reputation.’  

Tumblr plays a vital role in shaping our social identity, an online extension of ourselves allowing us to create and play with the ‘look’ of blog through many facets. The way we portray ourselves to our online community, the aesthetic of our blog becomes our new physical appearance to hide behind (Zoonen, 2013). An emphasis on individuality has grown as Tumblr becomes saturated with users, yet a desire to fit in is prevalent, as similar aesthetics are formed and certain themes become popular. Tumblr functions to serve as an extension of ourselves, a place for self expression with no filter and a place that cultivates niche communities.

DeRozan vital for Spurs heading into Mavericks game

DeMar DeRozan has only played five regular-season games for San Antonio but he's already left an indelible mark on the Spurs' franchise and quickly become one of the team's go-to players.

DeRozan and the Spurs have won three of their five games together and look to improve on that early trend when they host the new-look Dallas Mavericks on Monday at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

DeRozan has racked up 136 points in his first quintet of games with the Spurs, surpassing the franchise record of 115 points set by Hall of Famer David Robinson in his rookie season.

DeRozan, who was acquired by the Spurs from Toronto in the Kawhi Leonard trade, had 30 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists on Saturday in San Antonio's 110-106 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers, marking the second time in six days he's recorded a double-double while scoring 30 or more points.

The Spurs roared back to beat Los Angeles for the second time this season after ceding the Lakers an early advantage and by clamping down on their defense after halftime. San Antonio did not have a lead in Saturday's game until the 10-minute mark of the fourth quarter; the Spurs held Los Angeles to 18 points in the final period and just 46 in the second half.

"That sort of thing is what we're used to - that's really the first time this year that we've done that," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "If that can become a habit you have a good opportunity to win a lot of games. We're not there yet - we're not going to be consistent at that right now."

Eight of DeRozan's points came in the pivotal fourth quarter. He repeatedly drove to the basket and was rewarded for his aggressiveness.

''Whenever we're down, it's kind of natural to me to just try to be more aggressive,'' DeRozan said. ''Go out there, whether it's to score or try to find guys and just try to get us going."

Rudy Gay added 16 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge had 15 points for the Spurs in the win.

The victory allowed Popovich to join Don Nelson, Lenny Wilkens, Jerry Sloan and Pat Riley as the only coaches in NBA history with 1,200 career wins. Popovich is the first to reach that milestone with one team.

Dallas heads to the Alamo City after a 113-104 loss at home to Denver on Sunday. The Mavericks, who were outshot 53 percent-42 percent in the defeat, were led by 27 points from Dennis Smith, Jr.

Wesley Matthews added 22 points for Dallas (2-3), with DeAndre Jordan scoring 11 points and ripping down 19 rebounds, 14 of those on the defensive end.

Harrison Barnes, the Mavericks' top scorer the past two seasons, is finding his groove after missing the first four games of the year with a hamstring injury.

Barnes will have to cede some of the scoring load to newcomers Jordan and Luka Doncic but will keep his aggressiveness as he shoots his way back into form.

"My job is to go out there and be aggressive offensively and defensively," Barnes said. "I pretty much am used to adapting, so I don't see my role changing too much. The rhythm will come."

The Spurs went 3-1 against Dallas last season and own a 108-68 edge all-time against the Mavericks, including a 61-27 advantage in games played in San Antonio.

The Spurs franchise was originally located in Dallas as the Chaparrals of the American Basketball Association. The team moved to the Alamo City in 1973 after being sold to a group of local investors.
