Does the NBA own a blimp or helicopter that pans a city and it's basketball arena?
Do you notice that at halftime and timeouts during NBA games they an arial view of the stadium. Does the NBA own a blimp or helicopter that pans the city and arena?|||Those shots are taken from a blimp... usually the Goodyear blimp, though other companies like Met Life also have blimps. Goodyear sends their blimps to major sporting events because it's good publicity... everybody notices and points to that big blimp floating in the sky. Goodyear lets the broadcast company put a camera on the blimp, and in return sometime during the game they'll show a panoramic view and the announcer will say something like "There's the panoramic Phoenix skyline, courtesy of the Goodyear blimp."|||not the NBA, TNT and ESPN pay a local helicopter to do it.|||Nah, it's usually the goodyear blimb or something like that. The broadcasters just contract it out.
How do you get good at nba 2k9 quickly if you are new to nba 2k basketball video games?
i have never played any nba 2k basketball video games, so the controls are different from nba live. i also hate the fact the i always lose because every jump shot i shoot pretty much misses and everything the computer shoots goes in. So how do i get good at nba 2k9 fast? because i am losing a lot of games in the association mode.|||play alot and practise a lot|||u can change the controls u want to use in the options
|||Have the control manual near you, so you can find out any controls you need to know at any given time. Thats probably the first step, but then you just need to play 2k a little bit more.
I had the same problem when i first got it. Although i didnt play it much, over time i could easily switch between both games without noticing the different controls.|||in 2k basketball games it's all about timing on the shot. in nba live it's more about if your open. but for the 2k games what you wanna do is go to practice mode with people from the team your using and get a feel for how long to hold down the shoot button for your star players|||Before you start doing anything serious jus play Quick games and then play online or do an Association it's not that hard to get used to tough.|||Practice Practice, no not the game, practice.

How can I put Penny Hardaway and Jason Williams back in NBA 2K9 without resetting the roster?
They used to be in the game but now I can't find them. Ever since I used Xbox Live to make the changes that was recently happening in the NBA, I couldn't find them anymore. There not even in the free agents list. But I don't want to get them back by restting the roster because I want the rosters to stay the same. I just want Penny Hardaway and Jason Williams back. How can I get them back without resetting the roster?|||Create them. Make one injury prone and the other with a passer's rating of 55. Everybody gone' cry about it?
What is the Chinese government thinking for the NBA?
As a Bucks fan, I've been watching the whole situation with Yi Jianlian. Today really ticked me off, though. Apparently, Yao Ming was reprimanded because he was late for practice for the Chinese national team. His reason was because he was planning for his wedding and helping out with special olympics activities.
This is just ridiculous. Yi's reputation is getting worse each day that he doesn't join the Bucks. Now, Yao is told that he can't be a good human being. China is willing to destroy people's reputations as long as their national team does well. That's all they care about.
The Bucks need to hold strong right now. If China wants experience for Yi in the NBA, he'll have to get it with the Bucks or not get it at all. I'm starting to feel bad for Yi because it seems like he doesn't have a say in what happens. He may never get a chance in the NBA just because of his government. He does have options, but they're pretty drastic.
What does everyone else think?|||who cares?|||China has a selfish government. it sucks living there if you are a chinese.|||theyre a communist country. what else would you expect from them really?|||i agree with u that Yi doesn't seem to have ant power in the situation i think that his agent and perhaps people connected with the Chinese national team feel that bucks aren't the right situation for him because it isn't a big enough market and it isn't enough of an Asian market for them to relay capitalize on merchandising. i feel bad for the bucks because i dont think they realized the situation they were getting into when they drafted him its ironic because so many players have their character put into question which makes their draft value fall but nobody relay anticipated this being a big issue for the team that drafted

How does the 2010 NBA Playoffs work as far as a team going to the Championship?
How does the 2010 NBA Playoffs work as far as a team going to the Championship?|||First of all, they take the top 8 teams in each conference.
Then in each conference, a tournament is held, where the matchups are #1 vs #8, #2 vs #7, #3 vs #6, and #4 vs #5. The winning team advances to the next round, and the losing team is eliminated.
The winners of the #1 vs #8 and #4 vs #5 play each other in the next round, and the winners of the #2 vs #7 and #3 vs #4 play each other in the next round.
Then the winners of those two games play each other in the Conference Finals.
Now remember that this happens in two conferences, so the winners of the two Conference Final games are declared their conference champions, then they play each other for the title of NBA Champions (winner is declared NBA Champion).
And all teams play each other in a best 4-out-of-7 series. They play each other until one team wins 4 games (the winning team advances).

Could NBA players put together a 5 on 5 and sell it to pay per view during the NBA lockout?
Let's say Kobe, Lebron, D-Wade, Dwight Howard, and 6 other NBA players decided to make their own money during the lockout and signed with pay per view to put on a game for the fans. Would they have the right to do this, since the lockout is forcing them to be broke for a while.

Why do many NBA fans who liked jordon fail to acknowledge that Lebron will be better than him?
Even Michael Jordan himself said that at this age of 22 lebron is better than him in every aspect of the game even shooting. Lebron James had less talent around him than michael jordan when he first played in an nba finals. Lebron James is playing tougher competition than jordan did. Right now in the NBA there are always 4-5 teams in the west that can win it and 2-3 teams in the east that can win the nba finals. Maybe the only team that jordan played who had a chance to beat them was barkley suns and malone jazz in 1998.|||Umm... Does it really matter? Whatever happened to wait and see? I am pretty sure that is why they play the games in the first place.
It's unlikely that Jordan would have been as successful as Lebron has been if he left after his 2nd year in college as opposed to his 3rd year. Still, Mike was a handful and NO ONE stopped him besides Father Time, (he's the best defender I've ever seen in the long run).
People's "opinions" DO NOT MATTER. Not mine and not yours either. ANY TIME someone offers an "opinion" on here they are pretty much violating the rules of Yahoo! Answers. Then again, most questions about basketball are subjective.
THAT IS WHY GAMBLING EXISTS! That way Loud Mouths can put their money where their mouths are. I used to gamble on basketball and I did quite well thank you. Once I got my system down I NEVER lost! I either broke even or made money EVERY TIME and NO I won't teach you my secrets. I will tell you it requires OBJECTIVITY and NOT OPINIONS.
From your scrilla clockin', snitchin' out terrible questions homeboy "Basketball Cop" a.k.a resonatingfrequency|||No Doubt LeBron is a good player but saying he will be better then Jordan is taking it too far...|||You might have kinda of a point there but I disagree with you when you say LeBron is playing tougher competition. Every team in the east has sucked the last couple of years.|||Just like they failed to ack Kobe.|||Dont forget the bad boy pistons, and the Bird Celtic teams that haunted Jordan early on in his career; those were truly great teams. To say competition is off as well, the international talent pool has been ballanced out through expansion. Lebron is obviously a better physical specimen athletically, however MJ was a better scorer, and a top notch defender. Yeah, Jordan had better supporting cast, and lord knows the refs (thanks to D-Stern) gave him every call they could. But let LeBron win a couple titles first before we put him ahead of MJ.|||you are feeble. cannot you generate a thought that people can respond to? this doesn't qualify as a question. just an absurd statement that suggests nothing. by informing you of your failure i should get the full 10 points.|||HAHAH U MAKE ME LAUGH ...THE QUEEN PLAY IN TOUGHER COMPETITION HES ON THE EASTERN CONFERENCE U IDIOT, ..LBJ PLAY IN THE WEAKEST DIVISION AND HORRIBLE EAST ... IF LBJ FACING BOSTON TEAM OR CHICAGO EVEN MIAMI IN 1ST ROUND THIS YEAR I GAURANTEE THE EARLY EXIT HAHAHA|||BECAUSE HE'LL NEVER EVER BE. HOW OLD ARE YOU? BE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR BASKETBALL HISTORY BEFORE YOU MAKE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS CONCLUSION. THIS ISSUE IS BEYOND STATS AND THINGS THAT ARE SEEN. IT'S ABOUT KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE OF THE GAME.|||probably if lebron keeps progressing through his game and gets rings cuz thats what its all about he has to win multiple mvps so im not sold on lebron being better than jordan oh yah don't forget the lakers,blazers,pistons, and the celtics they were really good franchises too|||Lebron is a great player, but he cannot be compared to MJ yet. It shouldn't even be a question for another 13 or 14 years. To say that Lebron is better now is outrageous. He did get his team to the finals in his third season, but seriously Michael Jordan was the greatest player to ever play the game. I really think that you are just a huge Lebron fan that wasn't around when MJ was in his prime, and maybe doesn't know the accomplishments of the real champion.|||First I must ask who Jordon is? I looked him up in the NBA register and there's no match. No Jordon has ever played in the NBA.|||Because he won't|||theres no comparison really. lebron is a great player %26amp; is atheletic but to be better than jordan he has to be like jordan first %26amp; then improvise so first he needs a couple of mvps, wins %26amp; then only can he match/come close to jordan.
LBJ23 ROXX|||Lebron will not be as effective a player as Jordan was later on in his career. He simply relies too much on his athletic ability ( and traveling ) and isn't as fundamentally sound. Jordan beat a tough 90's Eastern conference as well. Lebron at age 30? I'll be surprised if he averages more than 20 ppg.|||Just read this
http://www.michaeljordansworld.com/achie鈥?/a>
Until the day comes when Lebron beatz this then i guess its safe to say Lebron Is the NEW MJ...until then Michael Jordon is the World's Best BasketBall Player. A legend for Decades to Come.
It's unlikely that Jordan would have been as successful as Lebron has been if he left after his 2nd year in college as opposed to his 3rd year. Still, Mike was a handful and NO ONE stopped him besides Father Time, (he's the best defender I've ever seen in the long run).

I either broke even or made money EVERY TIME and NO I won't teach you my secrets. I will tell you it requires OBJECTIVITY and NOT OPINIONS.
From your scrilla clockin', snitchin' out terrible questions homeboy "Basketball Cop" a.k.a resonatingfrequency|||No Doubt LeBron is a good player but saying he will be better then Jordan is taking it too far...|||You might have kinda of a point there but I disagree with you when you say LeBron is playing tougher competition. Every team in the east has sucked the last couple of years.|||Just like they failed to ack Kobe.|||Dont forget the bad boy pistons, and the Bird Celtic teams that haunted Jordan early on in his career; those were truly great teams. To say competition is off as well, the international talent pool has been ballanced out through expansion. Lebron is obviously a better physical specimen athletically, however MJ was a better scorer, and a top notch defender. Yeah, Jordan had better supporting cast, and lord knows the refs (thanks to D-Stern) gave him every call they could. But let LeBron win a couple titles first before we put him ahead of MJ.|||you are feeble. cannot you generate a thought that people can respond to? this doesn't qualify as a question. just an absurd statement that suggests nothing. by informing you of your failure i should get the full 10 points.|||HAHAH U MAKE ME LAUGH ...THE QUEEN PLAY IN TOUGHER COMPETITION HES ON THE EASTERN CONFERENCE U IDIOT, ..LBJ PLAY IN THE WEAKEST DIVISION AND HORRIBLE EAST ... IF LBJ FACING BOSTON TEAM OR CHICAGO EVEN MIAMI IN 1ST ROUND THIS YEAR I GAURANTEE THE EARLY EXIT HAHAHA|||BECAUSE HE'LL NEVER EVER BE. HOW OLD ARE YOU? BE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR BASKETBALL HISTORY BEFORE YOU MAKE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS CONCLUSION. THIS ISSUE IS BEYOND STATS AND THINGS THAT ARE SEEN. IT'S ABOUT KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE OF THE GAME.|||probably if lebron keeps progressing through his game and gets rings cuz thats what its all about he has to win multiple mvps so im not sold on lebron being better than jordan oh yah don't forget the lakers,blazers,pistons, and the celtics they were really good franchises too|||Lebron is a great player, but he cannot be compared to MJ yet. It shouldn't even be a question for another 13 or 14 years. To say that Lebron is better now is outrageous. He did get his team to the finals in his third season, but seriously Michael Jordan was the greatest player to ever play the game. I really think that you are just a huge Lebron fan that wasn't around when MJ was in his prime, and maybe doesn't know the accomplishments of the real champion.|||First I must ask who Jordon is? I looked him up in the NBA register and there's no match. No Jordon has ever played in the NBA.|||Because he won't|||theres no comparison really. lebron is a great player %26amp; is atheletic but to be better than jordan he has to be like jordan first %26amp; then improvise so first he needs a couple of mvps, wins %26amp; then only can he match/come close to jordan.
LBJ23 ROXX|||Lebron will not be as effective a player as Jordan was later on in his career. He simply relies too much on his athletic ability ( and traveling ) and isn't as fundamentally sound. Jordan beat a tough 90's Eastern conference as well. Lebron at age 30? I'll be surprised if he averages more than 20 ppg.|||Just read this
http://www.michaeljordansworld.com/achie鈥?/a>
Until the day comes when Lebron beatz this then i guess its safe to say Lebron Is the NEW MJ...until then Michael Jordon is the World's Best BasketBall Player. A legend for Decades to Come.

I recently bought the pc version of nba live '08 and planned to play it with a controller that I bought in South America.

How can the nba inforce a flexible policy involing gambling?
I'm writing a report on the Tim Donaghy scandal and since the nba is supposedly putting a more flexible policy involing gambling, how does it work? How does one enforce a flexible policy, especially one on self-control, ethics, and decency?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.|||To the best of my knowledge, changes in the gambling policies of the NBA only applied to referees. The new policies are more "flexible," only in the sense that they are not as harsh on the referees as they used to be, (e.g. referees will no longer be disciplined for "minor violations of league rules"). NBA referees will also be allowed to gamble in the off-season; whereas before, they were not allowed to do so. Other changes were made to the policies that made them more "flexible" for referees (see the website cited below).
Also note that although, "self-control, ethics, and decency," are issues, those are not the primary concerns addressed by the gambling policies. The gambling policies exist primarily (for lawful purposes) to prevent individuals who work in the "sports %26amp; entertainment" industry, (e.g. players, referees, coaches, etc.), to gain an unfair advantage in a gambling situation through the use of inside information, (i.e. where those people know something that the general public does not know, thus giving them an unfair advantage in a gambling situation).
The newer, more "flexible" NBA gambling policies for referees reduces the level of punishment for breaking the rules, but still prohibits gambling with inside information, and prevents it as much as possible, (e.g. NBA referees are not allowed to gamble during the NBA season). This is how the NBA is able to enforce the more "flexible" policies.

How come of the four major team sports, the NBA is the only one that people accuse of being rigged?
I just find this odd. What is it about the NBA, that some people treat it like professional wrestling, and think the outcome is predetermined.|||It could have something to do with the fact that ex-ref Tim Donaghy was involved in betting on games, and giving favorable calls to the team's he and his associates had money on. Other then that, there's no factual evidence the NBA is fixed. People tend to like to make jokes on it, because of their disdain for David Stern, and his love for money. For example, it was common last year to say "The NBA wants Lakers/Celtics Finals." For money, of course, they probably did. Does that mean it was all rigged? Definitely not. Now this year it'll be "The NBA wants LeBron/Kobe." If it happens, is it because it was rigged? Nope. It's just a little banter people often make when their teams don't get there or don't produce. Someone or something always has to be a scapegoat.|||All sports have been accused of being rigged. However, the NBA is most believable b/c the referees have so much power to change the game and instant replay is only used at the end of quarters to determine if a shot was good. There seems to be no checks and balances on referees who treat players differently b/c of their status in the game. Also, in an article on ESPN it was noted that it is well known that some referees let their personal conflict with players influence their decisions on calling fouls or technicals. For instance, that was one of the ways that Tim Donaughy determined who was going to win. All I can say is that it is really hard for a team to win if they do not have a star player.|||Oh, I've seen plenty of accusations for the other major sports being rigged. Basketball isn't alone.
But there is the fact that the NBA is the only major sport where an official has actually pled guilty to providing information to gamblers and is strongly suspected of actually fixing games. That makes baskeball a little harder to defend... we know it's happened before, how can we be sure it's not happening now?|||Because of one a8shole of a ref who had a gambling addiction.
Because of the fact that the refs have alot of influnce on the game, because so many calls/non-calls are subjective. Let's face it a 'foul' can be called on virtually everyplay, every game. Not to mention walking/traveling which are both prevailent in the leauge, as well as palming, carrying, 3 seconds, etc...
And the biggest because is that pathetic so-called 'fans' are always looking to blame somebody for their team losing. It's never the teams fault. It's always the refs in their eyes. it's sad and pathetic, but that's the way they see it. Laker fans are the worst....kobe craps gold bars you know, he can't do any wrong.|||The thing that is different about the NBA is that in basketball more than any other a game can be controlled by the refs. That is why people think that and always blame the refs, but the NBA is not rigged and the refs don't control the game. Overall the refs do a good job.|||I would think baseball, because Manny Ramirez almost was in the World Series with the Dodgers and might have been against the Red Sox.

And your not even close to being the best in FG%, so it's not like you were one of the most accurate shooters ever. You took 75 more shots than Kareem, yet he made 168 MORE shots than you did.
Considering that you played more for your scoring stats than trying to help your team win, it's not suprising that you are the leader in playoff points.|||bill walton is such a hypocrite|||Michael Jordan|||Michael Jordan
