Are top scorers really the most valuable players? Are games decided in the final few minutes? Does the team with the best player usually win?Thinking Basketball challenges a number of common beliefs about the game by taking a deep dive into the patterns and history of the NBA. Explore how certain myths arose while using our own cognition as a window into the game's popular narratives. New basketball concepts are introduced, such as power plays, portability and why the best player shouldn't always shoot. Discover how the box score can be misleading, why "closers" are overrated and how the outcome of a game fundamentally alters our memory. Behavioral economics, traffic paradoxes and other metaphors highlight this thought-provoking insight into the NBA and our own thinking. A must-read for any basketball fan -- you'll never view the sport, and maybe the world, the same again.

This multi-year collaboration involved over 50 authors meeting at five international conferences. The essays collected here demonstrate the pervasive role of philosophy in this dialogue.

Shooting is the most important fundamental skill in basketball, but despite being the skill players are the most willing to practice, shooting technique is perhaps the least-taught fundamental of the game. In addition, there are very few instructional basketball books dedicated exclusively to shooting. Shoot Like the Pros is perhaps the most detailed analysis of shooting mechanics, covering every aspect of shooting, ever published. Divided into seven sections, it covers shooting mechanics, the mental aspects of shooting, free throws, game situations, strength and conditioning, teaching methods, and finally workout drills for advanced levels. Including tips from some of the NBA's biggest stars, this is a book that will give both players and coaches at all levels proper direction on how to improve shooting technique.

One is to help members of underrepresented groups increase their opportunities for professional development, networking, finding mentors, and accessing opportunities such as those that occur on the golf course, where executives often "audition" potential new hires or identify high-potential candidates for advancement. It is not a level playing field. Golf is still a boys' club--a White boys' club. Dr. Eric Boyd is on a mission to promote golf literacy for the purpose of advancing social inclusion, diversity and equitable professional opportunities in the workplace. In this book he focuses on the importance of practicing on the course six key leadership traits that are woven through each chapter-Curiosity, Adaptability, Empowerment, Integrity, Mindfulness, Strategy. He teaches his students and his readers how to demonstrate their leadership skills, improve their networking abilities, and "close the deal" by ensuring a follow-up invitation"--
