	<description>On Layups.com you’ll find every facet of Basketball life including Practice Drills, Training and Coaching Tips, Plays and hints on general Teaching as well as help with sensitive topics such as being an aspiring Coach, Parental Involvement, Motivation and how to handle issues of inappropriate behavior. I’m looking forward to have an open forum where coaches, athletes, parents, staff, and Basketball Lovers can come to share in supporting each other in their quest to develop their own skills.</description>

		<description>Hello Praverb,

thanks for your comment ... the very first on this new site. Congrats :)

Totally agree! It is very nice to see that a good number of Europeans, especially from the Balkans, are being picked for NBA teams.

Not to forget &quot;The Wunderkind&quot; Dirk Nowitzki, who is one of the exceptional Basketball players from my home country Germany.

Best wishes,
Eitel</description>

		<description>As you stated in the article basketball is a global phenomenon that extends beyond the Western world. I love that fact that other countries are knowledgeable of the game. The globalization of basketball has something to do with the influx of international players into the NBA and professional teams playing in other countries.</description>
