How do respiratory therapy students perceive appropriate vibrating mesh nebulizer placement. What factors influence their understanding of nebulizer placement in mechanical ventilation circuits. How can training methods be improved to enhance research-based practices in respiratory therapy.
Overview of the Respiratory Therapy Students’ Survey on Nebulizer Placement
A recent study conducted at Georgia State University aimed to explore respiratory therapy students’ perceptions regarding the appropriate placement of vibrating mesh nebulizers in mechanical ventilation circuits. This research, spearheaded by Jordan Kenney, sheds light on an understudied area that has significant implications for training methods and the implementation of evidence-based practices in respiratory therapy.
The study utilized an online survey distributed to all students enrolled in the respiratory therapy program at Georgia State University. The survey gathered information on demographic factors, perceptions of nebulizer placement, and sources of knowledge acquisition. By analyzing the responses, researchers sought to identify trends and potential areas for improvement in respiratory therapy education.
Participant Demographics and Experience Levels
The survey garnered responses from a diverse group of respiratory therapy students, representing various academic levels and experience backgrounds. Here’s a breakdown of the participant demographics:
- Total participants: 71 (with one incomplete survey)
- Gender distribution: 62.0% female
- Academic levels:
- 59.2% first-year students
- 26.8% second-year students
- 12.7% traditional Master’s students
- Work experience:
- 71.8% had no work experience
- 16.9% had experience as paid RT technicians

“SURVEY OF RESPIRATORY THERAPY STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF APPROPRIATE VIB” by Jordan Kenney
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Perceptions of Respiratory Therapists (RTs) pertaining to the appropriate location of vibrating mesh nebulizer placement are an understudied subject that has the potential to shape training methods and improve the execution of research-based practice methods.
METHODS: This study consisted of a convenience sample and an online survey that was electronically distributed to all students currently enrolled in the respiratory therapy program at Georgia State University. The questionnaire consisted of demographic factors, perception of nebulizer placement questions, and a rating question to determine how students gained their knowledge.
RESULTS: The sample included 34 (47.9%) 1st year Baccalaureate students, 15 (21.1%) 2nd year Baccalaureate students, 8 (11.3%) 1st year integrated Masters students, 4 (5.6%) 2nd year integrated Masters students, 2 (2. 8%) 1st year traditional Masters students, and 7 (9.9%) 2nd year traditional Masters students, totaling 71 participants (n=1 survey incomplete). Among those who completed the study 62.0% were female, 59.2% were first-year students, 26.8% were second-year students, and 12.7% were traditional Master students. Of all the participants, 71.8% have no work experience, 16.9% have experience as a paid RT technician, and 9.9% have experience as a Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) or Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT). The responses to the nebulizer placement questions were categorized into 3 categories: correct according to research, somewhat correct, and incorrect. Total scores were computed for each individual according to their responses (2 points for correct responses, 1 point for partially correct, and 0 points for incorrect). The total mean score is 3.25 (standard deviation=1.26), with only 2.8% of students receiving a perfect score. Statistically significant differences were found between student position and total scores, with 2nd year students scoring the highest (mean= 3. 83, standard deviation= 1.20, F= 4.94, p= 0.010).
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that 2nd year students will most appropriately place a vibrating mesh nebulizer in a mechanical ventilation circuit when compared to 1st year students and traditional Master students. This finding supports the idea that 2nd year students are the most up-to-date with current research involving vibrating mesh nebulizer placement. This can be explained by the limited knowledge of first-year students, and outmoded knowledge of traditional master students.

We had no where to begin. Scouring the web at all hours of the night wasn’t gonna cut it. RocketReach has given us a great place to start. Our workflow has solid direction now – we have a process in place the begins with RocketReach and ends with huge contact lists for our sales team..it probably saves Feedtrail about 3 months of work in terms of lead gathering. We can divert our attention to actually going after the customer now!
Great for building a list of leads. I loved the ability to determine personal emails from virtually anyone on the web with RocketReach. I was assigned a project recently that regarded public relations, partnership, and outreach responsibilities and RocketReach not only connected me to prospective individuals but allowed me to streamline my search approach on the basis of location, skill set, and keyword.

Prior to RocketReach, we would reach out to people through professional networking sites like Linkedln. But it was frustrating for us to have to wait for people to accept our connection requests (if they accepted them at all) and sending is too expensive..this was a major speed bump in our workflow and source of never ending frustration.. With the shear number of contacts we’ve been able to find using RocketReach, the platform has probably saved us nearly five years’ worth of waiting.
It’s the best, most effective email search engine I’ve used yet, and I’ve tried a few. Both in the scope of the searches, and in the number of accurate emails found, I find it surpasses others. I also like the layout, which is easy on the eye, more attractive and efficient. The bottom line is that it has been a effective tool in my work, as a non-profit reaching out to leadership.
Before RocketReach, the process of sourcing email addresses consisted of scouring the internet, asking mutual friends, or stalking on LinkedIn. The most frustrating part was how time consuming this all was.The first time I used RocketReach was when I realized I made the right decision. Finding emails for contacts turned into a one-and-done instead of a week long process.
Looking up emails for a targeted outreach was manual and enormously time consuming. When I tried RocketReach and to find business information about key people in seconds in an easy and seamless process, I was hooked! The tool reduced the time to connect with new prospects by close to 90%.
Wells Fargo Center renovations continue ahead of Flyers, Sixers seasons
The Wells Fargo Center transformation project, which was paused because of the coronavirus pandemic, has resumed as the arena continues to undergo renovations ahead of the fall sports season.
The $300 million, multi-year project is approximately two-thirds complete, with the latest phase focused on the club level, where upgraded, brand-new seats will be in place by the fall. Next summer, the arena will see upgrades to its exterior, entrances, food and beverage options and more.
“The Wells Fargo Center is a pillar of our city, both culturally and economically, and this transformation project will ensure that it remains Philadelphia’s home for hockey, basketball, lacrosse, concerts and events for decades to come,” Wells Fargo Center president of business operations Valerie Camillo said in a release Monday. “Since we started this project, we’ve viewed it as an investment in the city, the neighborhood and the stadium district, which is why we’re funding it ourselves without any public, taxpayer dollars. As the city emerges from the pandemic, whether we’re hosting 20,000 fans for Flyers and 76ers games or putting hundreds of people back to work, the Wells Fargo Center is going to be a major part of Philadelphia’s comeback story. ”
The Wells Fargo Center has already revamped its mezzanine and suite levels, along with two sports betting lounges. Also as part of this project, the arena had a state-of-the-art scoreboard and LED video/lighting system put in, as well as new lower-bowl seats. Earlier this year, after an $11 million renovation of the HVAC system, which has all the air in the seating bowl of the arena replaced every 30 minutes, the Wells Fargo Center received the International WELL Building Institute’s health-safety rating for facility operations and management.
“The restart of this major transformation project is yet another example that Philadelphia is rebounding from the pandemic in a big way,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said in the release. “This multi-million dollar project will not only bring new life to this incredible facility, but also have a positive economic impact on our local labor market. I look forward to its completion and to cheering on our sports teams from this state-of-the-art venue. ”

90,000 Kenny Dalglish – seventy years old – Liverpool FC
Author: Evgeniy Drizhuk. Date of publication: .
The club’s official website congratulates Sir Kenny Dalglish on his anniversary and shares statistics on the great Scotsman’s career at Anfield.
During his time at the Merseyside club, both as a player and as a manager, the legendary Scotsman helped Liverpool win eight league titles, three European Cups, two FA Cups and five English League Cups.
No wonder Kenny Dalglish is remembered by the Reds as one of the most legendary players in club history, much less the Scottish nickname given to him during his Liverpool appearances – King Kenny.
Below you will find some statistics, presented by the official website of the club, about the career of the great football player and manager, favorite of millions and today’s hero of the day.
Player:
440 000 pounds – this is how much Liverpool paid for the transfer of Kenny Dalglish from Celtic in August 1977.
515 – The number of times the Scotsman has played for the Reds. Apart from Dalglish, only twelve players in the history of the Merseyside club have passed the milestone of 500 or more games.
172 – The number of goals for Liverpool in the championship and cup competitions. Kenny Dalglish is ranked seventh on the club’s top scorers list.
153 – the number of matches played in cups. Most often, King Kenny has appeared on the field in League Cup matches – 59 times.
147 – The number of matches played in a row for Liverpool with the seventh number on the back.
139 – The number of goals scored under the direction of Bob Paisley. More than Kenny Dalglish under the legendary manager (from 1977 to 1983) no one has scored.
104 – The number of goals scored at Anfield. King Kenny is one of seven players to have scored over one hundred goals in the Lersiside home arena.
55 – The number of clubs scored by the Scottish striker.
31 – Kenny Dalglish has scored exactly thirty-one goals in his most prolific season at Anfield. It was the 1977/78 campaign, which resulted in Liverpool winning the European Cup and reaching the League Cup final.
28 – How many matches Kenny Dalglish played against Arsenal. The Scotsman met the Gunners more often than anyone else.
11 – the number of goals against Manchester City. The Citizens are Dalglish the player’s favorite rival, he has never scored more than eleven goals.
7 – Seven minutes after his debut match for Liverpool in the league, the Scotsman scored his debut goal. The meeting ended in a draw (Liverpool – Middlesbrough 1: 1).
3 – the number of hat-tricks.
2 – King Kenny was twice named the player of the year by journalists. This was in 1979 and 1983.
Manager:
2 586 – the number of days spent by Kenny Dalglish at the head of Liverpool.
732 – The total number of goals scored by the Reds under his leadership.
381 – The number of games played by coach Kenny Dalglish. 280 of them – in the framework of the English Championship.
185 – the number of victories in the first three hundred matches. This is the club’s record to this day.
150 – The number of victories in the first two hundred and fifty matches in the league. And this is the club’s record to this day.
85 – The number of matches it took to overcome the fifty-wins mark in the league.And this is a record. So far, no manager has won fifty times in the FA in less than eighty-five matches.
61 – The total number of matches played by Kenny Dalglish as playing coach on football pitches.
58.53 – the percentage of victories at the head of the team.
35 – Kenny Dalglish was thirty-five years old when Liverpool won the FA Championship and FA Cup under his leadership. It happened in 1986.
29 – A series of unbeaten games in the 1987/88 season, when the Scotsman was acting coach.
9 – Liverpool Dalglish beat Crystal Palace in 1989 with a score of 9: 0. This victory was the largest for a Scotsman at the head of the Merseysides.
90,000 Nike sneakers from the Spike Lee collection: director’s photos from different years
Director Spike Lee was born on March 20, 1957. During his career, he managed to shoot a large number of films about the problems of racism and social inequality, and for the last – “Black Klansman” – he even received an “Oscar”.However, Spike used his talent to create not only paintings, but also commercials for Nike. In 1986, his first work was published, in which Michael Jordan took part. Since then, a long and loyal friendship between the director and the brand has begun. It seems that in these 30 years Spike has never appeared in sneakers of another company. Well, in order for you to understand how huge Lee has a collection of sneakers, we have collected the most interesting silhouettes in one place.

You see him grab that knee and of course that’s the same knee where he hurt his um yeah that’s, tough man that’s, i hope he’s all right. I hope he’s all right, kids shout out to my boy craig in arizona too. Oh my gosh. Do you want to jimmy butler? Had 28 points? He was anybody else, he, one of me. No, he sent me a text. He said i named everybody, but him, but shall i love you craig? Oh my god, big win for the heat butler leads the way kcp a big night for the lakers um in the losing effort.You know they’re hoping to get anthony davis back by the end of this road trip and um i’ll talk to him. He will be back when he come back i’m, not allowed to tell you today, but he’s coming back. He just told kenny to stop dropping okay. Stop dropping it hey what up kyle newport what’s good. Can i drop this jimmy butler’s name because he talked to chris webber after the game? Hey jimmy. Can you talk a little bit about his bam out of body is messing with you in the background, can you talk a little bit about just as you being that coach on the floor? You know the the road to bringing in new players on the team like oladipo and those.
How do you kind of get them acclimated to the miami system? The miami way, knowing that defense is always going to come? First, we share the ball. We make the extra pass. I think it’s easy to play like that whenever you know bam plays like that when goran plays like that, whenever i play like that, they fit right away so i’m, a big fella. You know i love bam’s game. I love your heart. I know you from the shot i get that you average 28. I get that you average points. I get that you average, you know assist what the hell makes you think you’re supposed to average seven rebounds in the paint i mean.I basically play a four. I don’t shoot threes, so i got to be down there around the rim. Sometime offense, rebounds, defensive rebound uh spoke gets mad when i don’t get at least six, so i might as well go get seven. I see you keep dominating inside good luck. The rest of the season appreciate you. He also is a soccer fan and drives a minivan so i’m into jimmy butler. I just want to throw that out. Everybody should be a hockey fan soccer. oh, you said soccer i’m, not into soccer and it’s sport. America sucks said i can’t get into it: well the bucks in dallas and luka donach i’m.Sorry, i apologize to the women they’re great i’ll talk about the man luca, with the bucket there tied at 33 after the first quarter.
Second, quarter lopez gets up too many games tonight. 16 points for him. Second half after it was 56 55 at the half point. Is he back yet chuck porzingis, no he’s, not back he’s, not bad guys, almost no. He stays a little bit too prominent right now. He’s got way too much perimeter the unicorn used to when he was a nick. He was inside outside off the dribble, i mean shaq.He has a height advantage every single night he, but he never takes advantage of it. Dude game is different: chuck yeah, but that’s. Okay, when you’re a tall guy, why are you gon na shoot, threes and little guy guardians that don’t make any sense? You see what joel embiid is doing. He’s just kidding these little points? oh, oh, nice, protection, bobby portis jr had a good night. 20 points. 14. Rebounds milwaukee up 93 89, but then here comes dallas and if porzingis can shoot from out there, it’s gon na be a long, long, postseason yeah.Okay, this was not i mean young has been played, so this is really just don’t. Go overboard. Let’S be easy right! Yeah let’s be easy. You got ta set this one out, but uh and a big win for dallas um. Can we talk about the east now? Okay and who are the contenders and who you believe is going to make a playoff run here and check them start with you. Well listen, brooklyn is the favorite, and now they got three talented guys.
The fact that they haven’t really played together a long period of time and they’re still in first is very, very scary, but i like philadelphia.I actually watched this game the other day and i enjoyed watching the game because it was old, school basketball every play down. They got it to the big man he made a play when they got double he’d. Kick it out to tobias he’d, kick it out to the bend that’s what it’s going to take and play our basketball not pick and roll doing this trying to emulate golden state. You know that they was like nope. We got the most down the big man in the game, throw it to him. It was actually some beautiful basketball to watch so philly is my favorite.Well you put that back up for a second, please. You know. If you look at this right here, you want to be number one, because you got a cake walk yeah until the conference finals, listen yeah, philadelphia against milwaukee is a slugfest brooklyn against philly brooklyn against milwaukee. All three of those are slugfest. So if you’re number one you’re gon na, have a cakewalk to the eastern conference finals. Okay, i would say this that, looking at that, you know, we got brooklyn philadelphia, milwaukee that have been the cream of the crop all year.Miami miami and boston have been consistently in the playoffs, but you know charlotte, atlanta and and the knicks they go from four to out of until 10.
. So, depending on the week, they have a good week where they win four in a row, then they have another week where they lose four in a row, so we don’t know who’s gon na be four or five. I would. I would imagine that um miami along with boston, will move up into those four or five spots, but even even if they move up, i don’t think those other ones will be that, even though they regard well, i don’t think a cakewalk is miami or boston.Okay, i was, we disagreed, i think cakewalk yeah, whether it’s, brooklyn or philly, or even, if milwaukee can get there. I think we got three teams that are head and shoulders above anybody else in the east. Okay – and i think that whoever has the easier path that matters uh, i really do – i mean because brooklyn is the best offensive team, but man philly got some issues with joel embiid and ben simmons they’re a handful giannis is a handful and i love the addition Of drew holiday, i think it’s really going to show more doing the playoffs, because i think it’s going to take a lot of pressure off middleton, because now he can slide and be the third best player well and he doesn ‘t have to create off the dribble.yes, he could still just come and catch and shoot more and run picks up for him.
90,000 Liverpool 2011/2012 – report of the season what was then Liverpool
Andy Carroll, Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez

Liverpool’s performances over the past ten years are difficult to describe with the words “stability”, “consistency” and “consistency”. The team has had a relatively good period under Brandan Rogers, and Jurgen Klopp’s tenure is overwhelming. Along with this, fans prefer to forget about the second coming of Kenny Dalglish as head coach. There is no need to talk about Roy Hodgson’s work.
“King Kenny” was called upon to mend after a very bad experience with Hodgson, who managed to bring Andy Carroll, Christian Poulsen, Paul Konchesky and Milan Jovanovic into the club in one season.
(Let’s leave in brackets the fact that at that troubled time Liverpool signed Luis Suarez. The history of the Uruguayan will begin a little later).
Dalglish took over his powers in January 2011 and brought the team to the end of the season, from which there were no special expectations. Even though Dalglish hasn’t trained since 2000, fan expectations were high.Do not remember once again that “King Kenny” bore the status of a living icon of the club, and the last successes in the English championship happened under his leadership.
Of course, the perfect picture of Dalglish returning the championship 20 years later was looming in the minds of the fans. Everything happened quite differently.
Transfer Summer
Liverpool Summer Signatures

The first steps into the summer transfer window from Dalglish were logical and generated fan support.In particular, Liverpool threw off the ballast and even bailed out some money for David N’Gogh, Paul Konchesky, Emiliano Insua, Daniel Ayalu and Milan Jovanovic.
Free of charge Poulsen, Kyriakos, Fabio Aurelio and Nabil El Jar left Liverpool. Let’s be honest that the aforementioned characters did not bring much benefit to Liverpool and were given away even with relief.
Those who needed playing practice were leased: Shelvey, Goulashi and Pacheco were too young, and Cole and Aquilani never found a place for themselves at Anfield.The only question arose about the sale of Raul Meireles. For a fairly small amount, Chelsea bought a reliable Portuguese player from competitors, who without any problems became the main player of the Blues. What was it?
In general, Liverpool got rid of the crowd of players who did not bring much benefit to the club, which definitely commands respect from the coach.
As for the signatures, the downings have replaced the notorious Poulsen.Dalglish’s transfer vector was obvious: the bet was on the British, who flashed in mid-range clubs.
So, Stuart Downing became the central signing. It was expected that for an impressive 20 million pounds, Liverpool will sign a dispatcher who will supply “shells” to Suarez and Carroll. The budding Jordan Henderson came from Sunderland, and the main star Charlie Adam was snatched out in Blackpool. Another 7 million was paid for Jose Enrique from Newcastle and for the talented Sebastian Coates, who in the future was supposed to become the main defender of Liverpool for many years.
Signings of free agents turned out to be quite good, which added experience to the team. Craig Bellamy added variability in the attack, while Doni became a reliable rear for Pepe Reina. The team entered the season with high hopes for the newcomers and the coaching staff.
Slaps at the start
The start of the season was not bad. Liverpool beat Arsenal at the Emirates, went through the first round of the League Cup and started with seven points in three games. The newcomers also showed themselves well: Henderson and Adam scored their opening goals, and the duo of forwards Carroll-Suarez showed good performance.
The first major failure occurred in September. The visit to White Hart Lane ended in defeat – 4: 0. Modric, Defoe and Adebayor did not notice the Reds, while Liverpool played out with nine (Skrtel and Adam left).Here it is worth mentioning that it was already a very serious Tottenham with Bale and Modric at the start and Harry Redknapp on the coaching curb. Spurs’ entry into the Champions League that season was more of a sensation than a routine.
In the future, Dalglish’s team became more accurate in the games with the leaders, but performed according to the script of the series, which could be called “Liverwood”. Yes, Liverpool really didn’t lose to United, Chelsea and City in the first round.but managed to lose points with Norwich, Fulham, Swansea, Wigan and Blackburn.
Liverpool finished sixth in the first lap. The fight for the championship was out of the question, but the team was on a par with Chelsea and Arsenal. This means that getting into the Champions League seemed quite real.
Pivot point
Apart from some semblance of stability, there was also an episode that marked a turning point for Liverpool that season.The next fight against Manchester United was remembered not by the game, but by the conflict between Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra. As the Frenchman said, the Liverpool striker indulged in racist remarks. After that, the Uruguayan was suspended for eight matches, and the precedent itself marked the beginning of an active fight against racism.
After this incident, Liverpool lost stability. Dalglish was nervous at press conferences, Suarez sat out for suspension, and the degree of tension was increasing.The peak of this tension was the match with Manchester United, when Suarez, who had served a suspension, did not shake hands with Patrice Evra.
But disregarding all this, Liverpool without Suarez played far less efficiently. In the Premier League, the team flew into City and Bolton, having also lost points in the match against Stoke City. Returning, the Uruguayan found that his team was in an unenviable position.
Liverpool’s Last Trophy

It’s hard to believe that Liverpool’s last trophy to date was won in this odd season. Not the most prestigious League Cup, but still. During the tournament, Liverpool knocked out Chelsea and Man City, but in the final they had to play with modest Cardiff.
But tournament wins don’t have to be easy. Cardiff held out until the penalty shootout, where the Liverpool players were more accurate. A nervous victory brought the first trophy after the Benitez era. And the last one for today.
The fans were happy with the cup, the players and coaches were happy, but the management reacted very restrainedly to this success.
“We need to get into the Champions League” , – such goals were outlined in front of Kenny Dalglish.
Post-trophy depression
Steven Gerrard’s disappointment
It was expected that the League Cup was to be the impetus for the great achievements of the Merseysides.
It was only after the victory in the tournament that Liverpool did not take wings, but on the contrary began to fall in the championship. The team began to feel feverish: draws, defeats, failures with outsiders and a faceless game with favorites. The peak of the failure was a catastrophic streak of six defeats in seven matches, and as a result, the second round was almost the worst Liverpool in the Premier League. Only the relegated teams scored fewer Merseysiders.
The most significant is the fact that even Everton finished higher than Liverpool, and this is with two defeats in the derby.
The final eighth place did not surprise anyone. On points, Liverpool repeated the anti-record of the 50s, and the season was not brightened up by another trip to Wembley for the Cup. The FA Cup final with Chelsea was lost, but it is believed that even a victory in it would not have saved Dalglish from retirement.
How did the players show themselves?
By and large, this season no one could add to their assets.Luis Suarez has scored just 11 league goals and missed many games due to the Evra scandal.
Andy Carroll became the main anti-hero of the whole season. A pitiful four goals in 35 games is all that the forward can boast of.
The transfer of Stuart Downing, who gave only two assists in 36 matches, turned out to be a complete failure.
On the other hand, Liverpool fans are divided into two camps.The decision to send Dalglish to retirement caused support from part of the fans, while the other part of the fans saw potential in this roster. And she was right.
Jordan Henderson will become the captain of Liverpool, Luis Suarez will be one of the best scorers in the world, and a year later a certain Raheem Sterling will come up from the youth team. But that’s a completely different story.
The story of the second coming of Kenny Dalglish turned out to be very strange and contradictory.Liverpool has always tried to take trophies, but would the fans of the Reds trade victories in the tournaments for the football that their favorite team is currently playing?

90,000 Vince Carter. “Half Human, Half Incredible”
28.01.2014
One of the most entertaining players in history, Vince Carter is 37 years old. We remember his main exploits.
As a gift from the current club Vincent Lamar Carter won a landslide victory over the Detroit Pistons. For the third year now, he has defended the Dallas Mavericks’ colors and has consistently benefited the team.Even at the age of 37, Vince has not lost a stable shot, the ability to pass the pass on time, the ability to prompt partners at the right time. Yes, jumping ability, healthy knees, speed – all this goes away over the years. But the master’s handwriting is visible even decades later. A seasoned veteran, one of the strongest (if not the strongest) dunkers of all time, Mr. Vincenity is “half human, half incredible.” This is how he will be remembered at the end of his glorious career as a player.
Like ‘s star cousin Tracy McGrady , he never became an NBA champion.And it is unlikely that he will be able to conquer this peak. Nevertheless, Carter is an iconic figure, at least of his generation. In addition, he is a real showman who knows the value of a real show.
Vince was fortunate enough to play for the University of North Carolina. This is one of the most prestigious basketball universities in the United States: over the years James Worthy, Michael Jordan, Kenny Smith, Jerry Stackhouse played here. It just so happened that Antoine Jameson studied there along with Carter.At the end of their student career, fate parted their paths in an absolutely incredible way.
In 1995, he was named Florida Basketball Player of the Year. The last two years out of three at the university, Vince, along with the team, twice won the conference and went to the “Final Four”. In 1998, he was recognized as the best student defensive player. In addition, Carter had his best field goal percentage of the season. But now the time has come to become a professional.
Following Jameson, he decided to nominate himself for the NBA Draft.Both were immediately “swept off the counter like hot cakes.” The guy ended up in the Golden State Warriors first. But then the irony of fate again crossed the paths of Antoine and Vince: “Toronto Raptors” exchanged Jameson for Carter directly on the day of the draft. The only surprising thing is that before good friends, the clubs of the strongest league in the world decided to take Michael Olovokandi (remember this?), Mike Bibby and Raf Lafrenz .
At the time of joining the Canadian club, Carter was experiencing huge problems. In fact, before Vincenity’s appearance, the club was known almost only for inflicting one of ten defeats for the unstoppable Chicago Bulls in their debut season for the Canadians. It was here that Tracey McGrady, Vince’s cousin, also began his journey in the strongest league in the world: however, they did not manage to play together for a long time. But the rookie was recognized as the best rookie at the end of the year, gaining 18.3 points on average per match. The very next year, he scored 25.7 points per game, was invited to the All-Star Game and to the top-throwing competition.Vince won it in one wicket: later Kobe Bryant, with whom were on the jury Michael Jordan, Julius Irving and Dominic Wilkins , said that Carter would have won all four if they were at their peak. Moreover, later the Lakers leader repeatedly stated that if T-Mac had not left the club, moving on as a free agent to the Orlando Magic, the couple would definitely have fought for the championship title.
For three years, from 2000 to 2002, Toronto set new attendance records.In addition, the cost of the entire organization doubled during his time at the Carter Club. It was he who became the key to success: a record 47 victories in the regular season in the history of the club, the first time in the playoffs, the first victory in the playoff series and reaching the conference semifinals … set a playoff record for the number of three-pointers realized per match), if not for Allen Iverson and his “Philadelphia”.
In the meantime, things were going well for the US team.Carter won the 2000 Olympics. In the course of the tournament, he hammered one of the most famous dunks in history through the French national team center, 218cm Frederic Weiss .
After a couple of years, after a series of injuries and a difficult relationship with the leadership of the Canadian club, the leader was traded to the New Jersey Nets. And only eight years later it became known that when the teams agreed on the deal only orally, Carter even called the owner of the Raptors and said that he wanted to stay.But he was refused: they say, it’s too late, son. For this secret, revealed only in November 2012, Vince endured for a long time bullying, ridicule and disapproving whistles every time, returning to where it all began – to the home arena of “Toronto”. But he never spoke about anything, assuring only that he always loved the fans: “I hope someday they will understand what really happened.” Indeed, the secret came true, and they understood.
The years with the Nets have been some of the best.It is symbolic that it was Vince’s decisive shot that twice brought the club a victory over Toronto away. Along with Jason Kidd Carter became the real leader of the squad, three times in the “New Jersey” went to the playoffs. He averaged 23.5 points in four full seasons, as well as his best annual career record of 5.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists. On April 7, 2007, Kidd and Carter became the first teammates in 18 years, each of whom chalked up a triple-double in the same match – the Washington Wizards did not go well.Meanwhile, the latter before them managed to do this only Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen .
After there were Orlando and Phoenix. As part of the “Magic” along with Dwight Howard he managed to get to the final of the Eastern Conference: followed by a defeat at the Boston Celtics. As a Suns player, Vince passed the 20,000-point grandmaster milestone. But Steve Nash and the company were in the midst of a restructuring process: Carter’s contract was pardoned.
Having moved to Dallas, with which at first only a year of a three-year contract was guaranteed, Carter was already an age veteran. He was immediately reunited with J-Kidd and continued on his way to immortality. The defender has consistently bypassed Larry Bird and Clyde Drexler in the league’s top scorers in history . In addition, he became one of 10 players in history (!) Who scored at least 1,700 three-pointers in their NBA career.
A monument was erected to Vincent Carter in the courtyard of his native Mainland school.Throughout his career, he has been tirelessly involved in charity work, he founded his own foundation called the “Embassy of Hope”. In his native Dayton, Florida, the star basketball player opened his own restaurant three years ago.
Vince is currently the 27th best scorer in league history (LeBron James is on the heels, but still). Interestingly, of those who are higher in the ranking (as well as lower, up to 36th place), only those who are still playing are not included in the Basketball Hall of Fame.Plus Shaquille O’Neal . In general, it would be extremely strange if this outstanding basketball player in every sense and a wonderful person at the end of his career was not among the chosen ones. However, what’s the difference: such ceremonies are not at all necessary when you are a legend.

90,000 MICHAEL JORDAN RIDES DUCATI DESMOSEDICI
Legendary basketball player Michael Jordan rode the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia for several laps on one of the highest-speed Grand Prix motorcycles, the Ducati Desmosedici.
Former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan has been interested in motorcycles since the age of five, and now his dream has come true. Jordan rode the prototype Ducati Desmosedici, which develops power up to 230 hp, while Loris Capirossi and Troy Bayliss accelerate the bike to 210 mph (336 km / h).
Along with Jordan, the best Grand Prix pilots – Sete Gibernau, Colin Edwards, Curtis Roberts and Kenny Roberts Jr – were on the track, showing the basketball player the best trajectories for the track, the length of which is 4,005 km.After the Ducati ride, World Champion Valentino Rossi gave Michael Jordan a ride in his new BMW M5.
“I was persuaded to do it by Sete [Gibernau]!” laughed Jordan. “It was interesting, but I only got to fourth gear, I can’t imagine what these cars are capable of in sixth gear with open throttle! There were no problems on straight sections, but I tried to find some guidelines for making turns, and the guys helped me. ”
“These cars have such a lot of power; I tried to put the bike on the rear wheel, but I was still afraid, so I just wagged the fork a little.I think it takes a little longer to get used to all that power. ”
“I have been interested in bikes for most of my life. I started off-roading when I was 5 years old. And I really like the Moto Grand Prix. Maybe someday I will have my own team, but now I’m just studying these The track lap with Rossi was amazing – this guy is crazy! ”
Jordan was warmly welcomed by Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports, which holds the rights to organize the World Moto Grand Prix.”The visit of a world sports star like Michael Jordan is a fantastic event for the Moto Grand Prix,” said Camelo Ezpeleta, who played golf with Jordan on Friday.
“We knew that he wanted to come to the Moto Grand Prix and that he is a big fan of the sport, but we were surprised how well he knows the Championship and the drivers. He came here on an unofficial visit with his friends, but he proved to be a very good person – patient and peaceful … although he beat me at golf! ”
More comments 90,000 The story of one thing: the Air Jordan I
Nike’s first Jordans were booming in sales.By the mid-1980s, the company was struggling: the running boom was dying down, sales of running shoes were falling, and experiments trying to conquer the aerobics and casual shoe market had failed.
Nevertheless, the history of the “Jordan” almost ended in the late 1980s. The basketball player wanted to leave Nike after two named models when his first contract ended. But in the end he stayed. It is believed that one of the arguments was the design that Tinker Hatfield proposed for the Air Jordan III and which the basketball player liked.Hatfield himself, who first worked for Nike as an architect, was almost fired from the company shortly before. He will become the most famous sneaker designer in the world only later, and in many respects thanks to his work on the Jordans. In 1997, Nike spun Jordan into a separate brand within its empire, a rare case in the sports fashion business.
The exact number of Jordans produced from the 1980s to the present day cannot be counted. There are more than 30 models of so-called numbered only – models with Roman numerals in the name, and each has many more variations.Highsnobiety reckoned that only the first “Jordans” came out in at least 23 original versions, and this is not counting the reprints.
There is also a tragic page in the history of the Jordanians. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, fashionable sneakers named after Michael became the cause of robberies and even murders in the United States. In May 1990, Sports Illustrated came out with the famous Sneakers or Life cover featuring a pistol and a pair of Nike Air Jordan V. had to endure a barrage of accusations.Outlets like The New York Times have seriously debated whether the basketball player and brand were responsible for creating the unhealthy hype around expensive sneakers.
