BASIC SKILLS
You can observe the basic skills showed by the players in the game between USA vs Serbia. Those basic skills are:
Dribbling
Dribbling is an important skill for all basketball players. This skill will allow you to move up and down the court, maneuver past defenders and execute plays. Proper dribbling requires ball-handling skills and knowledge of how to spread your fingers for ball control. It is also best if you know how to dribble equally well with both hands.
Shooting
In order to score points in basketball, you need to shoot the ball into the hoop. This requires the ability to properly hold and throw the ball into the air toward the basket while avoiding defenders. A proper shot requires precise aiming, arm extension and lift from the legs. There are different types of shots you need to learn, including jump shots, layups and free throws.
Running
Running is a big part of basketball. In a full-court game, you will find yourself running back and forth as the game quickly transitions between offense and defense. When you have the ball, running will help you to avoid defenders and get to the basket quicker. On defense, you often will find yourself needing to run after the opponent, especially during fast breaks.
Passing
Passing is another skill that when mastered can help you become a complete basketball player. Basketball is a team sport that involves finding a teammate who is open for a shot. The ability to pass the ball to this player can make the difference between scoring and not scoring. Really great passers are an important part of a basketball team and usually the ones who set up scoring plays.
Jumping
Jumping is another skill that can define how good a basketball player is. Jumping is involved in offense during the jump ball in the beginning, while taking shots and sometimes while trying to catch a pass. On defensive you will need the ability to jump when trying to block a shot or a pass. Being able to out jump your opponent for a rebound also is important.
TECHNICAL & TACTICAL SKILLS
From what I observed from the game, each of the player showcased their technical skills through their body movement competency, passing and receiving mastery, dribbling adroitness, shooting and rebounding skills, offensive and defensive ability. Most people only see the result of their hardwork through their technical skill. They don’t have knowledge on how hard each player worked for it each day. Blood, swear, tears and breakdowns were encountered by different players before arriving the different technical skills they have shown in the game. While a player has a technical skill, they also have tactical skill that helped both team manifest good transition of the play. Each team had different tactical skills depending on the situation and plays being shown by the opposing team. From what I have observed, USA showcased such tactical plays that help them beat Serbia such as having offense plays like handover, backdoor cut, 2 man play, 2 man game, Open play, and mostly shown tactical skill of the team USA is Man-screen roll over. The Serbia also showcased these tactical skills however, the USA did it better and executed it well. USA also had tactical skills in their defense like man to man defense and half-court press,1-3-1, switch and box defense. Both teams showed their different tactical and technical skills to have a smooth transition offense and defense.
RULES OF THE GAME
Rules for the Offense
The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while moving both feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball or the player stops dribbling, the player must only move one foot. The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot.
2) The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other words, once a player has stopped dribbling they cannot start another dribble. A player who starts dribbling again is called for a double-dribbling violation and looses the basketball to the other team. A player can only start another dribble after another player from either team touches or gains control of the basketball. This is usually after a shot or pass.
3) The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team looses the ball out of bounds the other team gets control of the basketball.
4) The players hand must be on top of the ball while dribbling. If they touch the bottom of the basketball while dribbling and continue to dribble this is called carrying the ball and the player will lose the ball to the other team.
5) Once the offensive team crosses half court, they may not go back into the backcourt. This is called a backcourt violation. If the defensive team knocks the ball into the backcourt, then the offensive team can recover the ball legally.
Rules of the Defense
.The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A foul is described as gaining an unfair advantage through physical contact. There is some interpretation that has to be made by the referee, but, in general, the defensive player may not touch the offensive player in a way that causes the offensive player to lose the ball or miss a shot.
Rules for Everyone
1) Although the foul rule is described above as a defensive rule, it applies exactly the same to all players on the court including offensive players.
2) Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.
3) No player can touch the basketball while it is traveling downward towards the basket or if it is on the rim. This is called goaltending. (touching the ball on the rim is legal in some games).
OFFICIATING THE SPORT
The game between the USA vs Serbia was officiated by different officiating officials such as crew chief, referee, statistician, chairperson, scorer, assistant scorer, timekeeper and 24-second shot clock operator. The different officiating officials has different roles in officiating the game.
Crew Chief - The head official in basketball who is responsible for making the final decision of the game.
Referee - enforces the rules of the game and determines when a violation. or foul occurs and then stopping the game to issue the correct penalty.
Statistician - Records all the aspect of the game which is now usually done on a computer, tablet or smartphone or manually with a paper template.

Scorer - Completes the scoresheet
Assistant scorer - Assist with operating the scoreboard.
Timekeeper - Operate the game clock and in most situations also operate the scoreboard.

OVERALL ANALYSIS OF THE GAME
The USA blew out Serbia with the score 96–66. The USA dominated the game consisting of mostly all star NBA players such as Kevin Durant, Demar DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Harrison Barnes. Both teams had shooting percentage with 48% consisting the team USA of 53.6% 2 points FG, 37.6% 3 points FG, 74.6 Free-throws while the team Serbia had 54.5% 2 points FG, 35.7 3 points FG and 77.7% Free-throws.

The Top 10 Olympians to Follow on Social Media at #Rio2016
The Rio Summer 2016 Olympic Games kicked-off last Friday, August 5th, and thousands of athletes have taken to social media to share their rankings and excitement. Social media has become a mainstream way to browse the highlights posted by both the major broadcasting networks and the athletes themselves. And this year, Snapchat garnered NBC to stream Olympic coverage for free to ensure millennials get real-time coverage of the Olympics rather than live-stream, later. But Snapchat won’t be the only way to see who’s taking home gold. Grab your phone and follow these 10 Olympians to see all the behind-the-scenes actions of the Rio Olympics!

The 24-year-old swimmer from South Africa snatched gold from Michael Phelps in the 200-m butterfly at London 2012 and has had a heated rivalry with Michael Phelps ever since. Many internet memes were born out of the Clos vs Phelps rivalry in the 200m butterfly race, between “Michael Phelps face” and this viral photo of le Clos realizing Phelps was winning.

Poster designs
This week, I did some more drawings for a final piece of the “Typography project” when I went home to see my parents last weekend.


When I got the drawings done I scan them for photoshop filling the whites spots using primary colours (Red, Blue, Yellow) for the poster design.

When that was done, I import it to Indesign to set up with the poster design, with the letter exchange document.
