Running is a high-intensity cardiovascular exercise that has been shown to increase metabolism both during and after a workout. I recently ran for 30 days straight and detailed my experiences.

In 2005, the NBA changed the rule by which players apply to the NBA draft. The rule essentially states that a player must be 19 years old during the year of the draft and be 1 NBA season removed from his high school graduation. It's the reason someone like LaMelo Ball chose to play in Australia's NBL for a year following high school and why Jalen Green most recently spent a year on the G League before being drafted.

The NBA: A Brief HistoryThe NBA was established on June 6, 1946, in New York City.

Ranking players can be fun, if not for the simple fact that it generally stirs up quite a bit of debate.
