Posts tagged ‘Vintage Basketball’


Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet (3 m) high hoop (the goal) under organized rules. Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world.[citation needed]

Points are scored by shooting the ball through the basket above; the team with more points at the end of the game wins. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it (dribbling) or passing it between teammates. Disruptive physical contact (fouls) is not permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled (violations).

Through time, basketball has developed to involve common techniques of shooting, passing and dribbling, as well as players' positions, and offensive and defensive structures. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play center or one of two forward positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed, play the guard positions. While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. In some countries, basketball is also a popular spectator sport.

While competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport, played on a basketball court, less regulated variations have become exceedingly popular as an outdoor sport among both inner city and rural groups.

Port Authority - Vintage Washed Contrast Stitch Cap Port Authority - Vintage Washed Contrast Stitch Cap

Reviews

Received the wrong item when it was shipped. The item I received was the wrong color and a cheaper product than what I ordered.

Is a really nice cap, it fits great and the delivery time was less than I expected, I would definately purchase from port authority again, simply great.

This is exactly as shown and described. It is just what I was looking for. I was also surprised by the quality of the hat, i was expecting a cheaply made hat. It is very comfortable and of high quality.

Great product low price fast shiping. I went with the brown color and i bought patchs and made my own unique hat. i loved the cross stitching also as well as this companys other plain 1 color hats.

It was a challenge for me to find a hat that wasn't garishly decorated or advertising something, and yet didn't appear blank. This cap is exactly what I was looking for. The colors (I chose brown/stone), the contrasting stitching, the well-curved bill, and the low profile all make for a casual, classic style. The cap also arrived in a timely manner and was a great deal for the price.

Precious Cargo Infant Tee Precious Cargo Infant Tee

Reviews

I feel the size was correct, unlike other reviews. My daughter has followed sizes exactly based on her age since she was born and these fit fine. I was hoping for a little more from the quality though. I haven't washed them yet so hopefully they won't get worse. They're just a normal t-shirt, like the one a man would wear under a dress shirt. I was hoping for something a little thicker that feels more like a stand alone shirt.

Be careful, this runs REALLY small. I got the 18-24 for my 14 month old, and it would fit better on an average 6 month old. Otherwise, it seems of nice quality.

So glad I found these comfy, soft, 100% cotton tees for my son! They are very comfortable and look very cute on. It would also work well to pair one of these tees with pants by the same company for light summer pajamas.

These tees are great! It is very hard to find plain tees without paying too much. These tees are priced right and look great. I also ordered a jacket and sweat pants from the same company. The service was quick. I will order from them again.

This book was both enjoying and informative. If your a basketball fan of the late sixties and seventies you will enjoy this book. I'm sure todays players would have a completely different lifestyle than their predecessors, but Bill gives you a picture of his day and insight into his cast of characters/teammates. I enjoyed this book.

FORMER NBA PLAYER BILL BRADLEY TAKES US THROUGH SOME OF THE 1973-74 KNICKS SEASON, AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF BRADLEY, EARL MONROE, WILLIS REED AND DAVE DEBUSSCHURE. MOST OF IT IS INTERESTING AND WELL WRITTEN. IT IS NOT A TELL ALL OR CONTROVERSIAL BOOK BUT PRETTY MUCH A FACTS ONLY BOOK. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE HOW THE PLAYERS SPEND THEIR DOWN TIME ON ROAD TRIPS, THE AVAILABILITY OF WOMEN WHO WILL SLEEP WITH JUST ABOUT ANY PLAYER, AND THE INNERPLAY OF THE KNICKS IN PRACTICE AND ON PLANES. I LIKED THIS BOOK BUT IT IS NOTHING GREAT AND IT IS BORING AT TIMES BUT STILL WORTH A PEEK.

He writes about being in the NBA but it's during the 70's when it was so different from now. Players didn't make mega millions then. I can't believe they would still have to do their own laundry and share a hotel room with someone on the team. But it's a nice glimpse into the 70's and professional basketball, I guess. The basketball writing is okay, I've read much better. His writing is pretty dead.

After reading John McPhee's account of Bill Bradley's years at Princeton, I put the book down and thought it was too good to be true. No NBA player I've ever seen is THAT smart. But after reading Bradley's own Life on the Run, I recant. Bradley IS that smart, and he's a hell of a writer to boot. This one can be spoken about with the same kind of respect due the classic sports profiles, including McPhee's own Levels of the Game. I'm glad I took a chance on this book. It was a real pleasure.

Bill Bradley's account of three weeks in the life of an NBA team in the '70's is as much a stunningly insightful social commentary as it is a nice, easily-rambling, "On the Road"-style ride. Beautiful.

Average Rating:

Almost two decades after its original publication and more than 15 years after its author retired from the New York Knicks to become a U.S. Senator, Bradley's account of 20 days in a pro basketball season remains a classic in sports literature...

There's no better way to learn about basketball history than to hear directly from the players that created it. I learned a lot from this book and I hope that these pioneers are considered for future pension inclusion.

I've tried to get someone to solve my problem of never receiving this book and still no answers and still no book. Should have received middle of December and can't get them to get back to me or ship to me. Not happy!

Reviews

I was having trouble finding this product at our local stores. The size was one factor since my son wears a size 12. If I need to find a product Quickly Amazon is the first place I go to Online. Found the shoes and the size we needed. Price was Right and Free shipping to boot. The Shoes was shipped right away, no Problems at all.

i'be been wearing this style of high top for closer to 2 decades now. seems like the quality has declined in past couple years. NOT the easiest shoe to find in ANY retail store THANKS amazon for keeping my feet happy

The shoe is a great shoe, but sad to say it wasnt wide enough for my foot as i was in an accident. I had to send them back and got a full refund. Store is really good and easy to deal with. I recommend the shoe and the store. But remember if you have wide feet try to find a wide size!

I just love these shoes I have been wearing them for years , great ankle support!

I have been on the hunt for years, literally, for a decent pair of plain, white, hi-tops sneakers. These are made by Reebok which is known for quality shoes. The price was incredible at less than $55 very affordable!! So comfy too I'm a P.E. Teacher and have to wear good shoes. These not only met but exceeded my expectations and that is NOT an easy task. I will definitely buy several pair so I don't have to look any more

This simple hoops shoe will get you around the court in comfort. It offers great padding and a high cut for comfort and stability. Now, all you have to do is hit the J.
