I don't enjoy watching basketball at all, in fact, if I do watch it I need to have the sound off because the sound of their shoes squeaking on the floor drives me bonkers! But I can suffer though it just to see those deltoids. I even had a picture of Amare Stoudemire on my computer once just to see those amazing arms everyday, sick, I know. I read an interesting article about the fellow who invented basketball, I found it rather entertaining. This was by By Gary Peterson of the Bay Area News Group. If you have a couple million scoots burning a hole in your pocket, you might be interested in James Naismith 's original list of 13 rules for the game of basketball -- written in 1891 and about to be offered for auction in New York. Naismith, a P.E. teacher, invented the game as a means of keeping students active inside during the cold winter months. Though the game has evolved over the past 119 years, Naismith's list shows what a visionary he was. A few examples # There will be no extra points awarded for swinging on the rim after a monster dunk, but such a tactic could conceivably serve as an inspiration for one's teammates. # Spirited conversation -- for instance, berating a referee, or referencing an opponent's heritage or athletic acumen -- shall be a part of every contest. # Should a player desire to switch teams at any point, he or she should do so in the most conspicuous, attention-grabbing manner possible. # A player may not take more than two steps without dribbling the ball (don't overly concern yourself with this codicil; it will almost never be enforced). Maybe I need to incorporate a little basketball into my training, just to hit those delts? My club just refinished the indoor courts, might be a fun change of pace! |

I think deltoids are probably the sexiest part of the human body, really!
Who has the best deltoids? Basketball players!
