Officer White of Gainesville whose video went viral on January15th 2016 after he responded to a noise complaint and found out that the noise was from kids in the neighbourhood playing basketball. White decided that this was not a crime and he joined the kids in playing basketball. If you cannot beat them in their game, join them!

His dash cam video recorded this act of kindness. Luckily it was not just viewed by 14 million people for entertainment,but it also touched the heart of NBA’s legend Shaquille O’Neal and he helped Officer White start the Basketball Cop Foundation.

This was the first but certainly not the last act of kindness that White was going to do for the kids. He upped his game recently when he built a basketball court for the kids in the backyard of one of the kids. The foundation has so far received donations not less than $3, 911.

With the help of Tobias, another officer who has been the Granville’s Police Department social media manager and spokesperson as well, White has been able to receive not just one but numerous basketballs and portable hoops.

He has also made trips to other neighbourhoods and contacted apartment complexes to either restructure their basketball courts or create one for those complexes that do not have one. With the help of O’Neal, he will also be donating basketball and portable hoops to these neighbourhoods. He is really going to another new level of transforming the community a child at a time.

One family lost all of their Christmas gifts and when White came to learn about this, he yet again surpassed his expectations and donated a brand new portable hoop and basketball to the family. He has also donated a couple of these to the Florida neighbourhood kids.

Officer White said they identify a place where basketball can be used both as a tool and as a resource for youth and they fund it with the help of the donations they receive.

We all have that one thing that might make us lose our jobs once our employers see our social media posts. You never know who is reading your posts, be careful what you post on social media. You never know this might be the post that ruins your entire career.

As for Kevin Dorsey, a freshman guard of Gophers, his social media site had a sex act on Friday night. Dorsey alongside Nat Mason and Dupree McBrayer allegedly violated team rules and were held out of Sunday’s game, said a statement from the University of Minnesota.

His entire twitter account and the video as well has since been deleted. However Minneapolis police said they are not involved in any criminal investigation whatsoever. Chris Werle, the associate athletic director at the university said that they have seen some of the things on social media and that they are looking into it. He further said that there was not any reports or complaints against the school.

Gophers lost 84-71 and their coach, Richard, did not comment further on the reason for this loss. Seeing that the three player were cut off just an hour before the Sunday’s game. Pitino avoided addressing the suspension on his weekly radio show on 1500-am but he had this to say, “When you suspend three guys, that is the talk of everything”.

People who reportedly saw the video included, several users of gopherhole.com and a KSTP-TV sports reporter, Darren Wolfson. Ever since Pitino took over in April 2013, there have been series of player-related troubles. This raises a lot of questions on his credibility.

Zach Lofton was dismissed last season for failure to meet the team’s obligations last season. A month or so later, Daquein McNeil was arrested on allegations of assaulting his girlfriend. Carlos Morris was also dismissed earlier February for detrimental conduct and Dorsey had been suspended on November for failure to meet his academic obligation.

The team however seemed to be turning a corner on Sunday’s game, hopefully to turn around the bad 14 game losing record.

With only five regular season games remaining on UCLA’s schedule, it seems that Bruins will win all the titles to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament. Furthermore, each game has its own pressure.

Steve Alford, the UCLA Coach shown that that it is going to be challenging.

Alford declared earlier this week that his team has not reacted under pressure. On Thursday, he said it again after his team lost to Utah and he accepted accountability for lack of mental toughness.

“That has been me and not the team,” Alford said. “This is because, any time I apply a bit of mental pressure on them, they did not manage it well.”

Since UCLA team performed better last season in a must win situations, it did not add up to him. Alford said Kevon Looney was a tough player but left for the NBA draft.

According to Alford, only two of his players, Isaac Hamilton and Bryce Alford have shown the same resilience as that of Norman Powell.

Steve Alford said, “ This is a different team and whether the talks have been more of encouragement or short term than long term, this is a team that handles that of approach way better than any other.”

Bryce Alford said that the coaches had set long-term goals such as going undefeated at home. By the end of the season, they knew exactly what they needed for them to secure a place at the NCAA tournament. This year, the coaches are more focuses on single games andsometimes shorter time frames.

“Before we start playing any game, they give us at least three key areas that we need to put more focus on,” Bryce Alford said.

Unlike the previous season, UCLA’S coach is not planning to emphasize NCAA tournament to his players.

Ivan Johnson, an ex NBA player has had his lifetime ban from the professional league in Philippines for a blasphemous outburst at an official reduced to one year. This came after he made a personal apology, according to the league officials.

The banish of Johnson, who is an ex Atlanta Hawk occurred on Saturday’s mid game after he used the “F-word” in argument with Chito Narvasa, the commissioner of Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

The league spokesman Willie Marcial said that Narvasa reduced the lifetime ban to one season after having a meeting with a player from the Talk N’ Text Tropang texters team.

“He apologized for his actions, he explained that he is different on the court. His intentions was to show that he is a good man and he also loves his fans in Philippines.” Marcial said in a meeting that included Johnson and his family.

31- year old Johnson is married to one wife and is a father of two children.

After the incident, the PBA reduced Johnson’s fine from 250,000 to 150,000 pesos.

Johnson, who is 6 ft 8inch, has had tough season, having been suspended for one game earlier this month for fighting with a player of an opposing team.

In fact, he was banned for life in 2010 by Korean Basketball league for making an obscene gesture at the referee.

In addition to that, he was also fined for different altercations with fans and officials during 2011-2013 abbreviated NBA career.

Marcial said if Johnson misbehaves again, he will be banned for life in the Philippines.

In his post on twitter, Johnson said,“ This lifetime base is truly unfortunate and devastating for me because I feel at home and welcomed when I play here at Philippines.”

Players from foreign countries are highly valued in Philippines’ crazy Basketball as they can dominate a role in PBA, which is highly competitive.
