The NBA has been a complete mess this year. The owners and players have finally settled the lockout, but we still see all sorts of controversy as they muddle through this shortened free agency period, with David Stern nixing trades and players with egos making all sorts of demands.
But that doesn’t take away from the fun of basketball, particularly for kids who love to play the game, and in this holiday season that’s something to keep in mind when shopping for gifts. It’s also great because basketball gets kids and adults moving. In this time of obesity problems, stuff like this can be a life-saver as well.
So one great gift idea to consider is a basketball hoop for the home. Basketball is one of the best games out there for cardio health and people of all ages can play. Kids love the sport and many will play for hours with their friends. That sure beats having them sitting around playing video games or just watching NBA games.
If you shop around you find all sorts of great options for top basketball goal systems. The key is doing research. It’s obviously easier if you’re buying this for yourself or your own kids, as you know what best fits your home. But if you look around you can find out what best fits for your grand kids or others on your list.
So don’t let the NBA drama get in the way of enjoying one of the best games out. Strap on some shoes and get out there yourself. It’s a great option for those of us who are now older who struggle to find the time to get our cardio exercise time. It’s so easy to just pick up a basketball and start playing, whether it’s with kids or old friends who used to love to play when they were younger. Of course you need to be careful as you get older. Make sure you put on good basketball shoes and remember to stretch and warm up. But once you start playing regularly you’ll feel so much better. Then you can sit back and watch the millionaires play on TV.
Everyone knew that Robert Griffin III was a great athlete coming out of high school, and that his athleticism would make him a very good college quarterback. But his improvement this year with accuracy in the passing game has thrust RG3 into the Heisman Trophy discussion and is also putting him in the first round of the NFL draft according to draft experts like Mel Kiper, Jr. and Todd McShay.
RG3 was a track star in high school so he got a lot of attention from big schools coming out of high school. When Griffin makes plays with his legs observers aren’t surprised. Draft experts saw him playing in the NFL but thought he might have to change positions as other athletic college quarterbacks have done in the past like Josh Cribbs. They underestimated Griffin’s work ethic and determination as he kept working on his game.
Griffin had plenty of success at Baylor heading into the 2011 season but he also faced serious adversity as well. In his sophomore season, RGIII suffered an isolated tear to his ACL in his third start of his sophomore year. He had to miss the entire season. While we’ve seen many players come back from ACL injuries, you never like to see a speedy athlete suffer that kind of injury.
Griffin came back of course, but heading into the 2011 season, few people expected much from Baylor, and Griffin wasn’t being discussed as one of the best quarterbacks in college football. But Griffin showed tremendous improvement this year as a passer. His accuracy became a real weapon, and suddenly Baylor became a force in the Big 12. He capped off his amazing season with a 48-24 thrashing of the Texas Longhorns. Texas has a tough defense, yet RG3 had a brilliant game.
Griffin connected with Kendall Wright for a 59-yarder on the first play of the game. Texas hadn’t given up a TD pass of over 20 yards all season. Griffin was 15 of 22 passing for 320 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for two more touchdowns.
Robert Griffin III and the Baylor Bears are a great story in what has been a tough season for college football. Experts thought Griffin would be a good, yet one-dimensional player. Now those same experts are arguing he deserves the Heisman Trophy and might go in the first round of the NFL draft due to his passing ability. He still has that great speed, but now everyone is talking about his arm.

It’s the perfect time to start an intense workout regiment, and emulating the MMA guys is not a bad idea.
MMA World Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre is now a legend in the MMA community, and now he’s sharing his workout program and training secrets with a new series of MMA workout DVDs.
We love MMA, but now it’s more than just a sport or a form of entertainment. It has spawned a new lifestyle approach, and central to that is the sculpted look you see with the best MMA fighters. Women love that look and guys are inspired by it.
It’s only attainable, however, if you’re willing and able to undergo an intense workout program. You have to be committed, and you have to be the type of person that sets the bar high. You might not be able to fight like St-Pierre, but you can achieve that same look through persistent hard work.
