Basketball - Positions and structures

Although in basketball the rules do not specify any positions, they have evolved overtime as part of basketball. During the first five decades of basketball's evolution, one guard, two forwards, and two centers or two guards, two forwards, and one center were used. Since the 1980s, more specific positions have evolved, namely:

>point guard: usually the fastest player on the team, organizes the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right time

>shooting guard: creates a high volume of shots on offense; guards the opponent's best perimeter player on defense

>small forward: often primarily responsible for scoring points via cuts to the basket and dribble penetration; on defense seeks rebounds and steals, but sometimes plays more actively

>power forward: plays offensively often with his back to the basket; on defense, plays under the basket (in a zone defense) or against the opposing power forward (in man-to-man defense)

>center: uses size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on defense), or to rebound.



Max GXl is the only proven nutraceutical to cause the body to produce a minimum of 200% more glutathione

Glutathione plays several essential roles in our protection. It is composed of three amino acids connected in tandem: glycine, cysteine, and in an unusual bond to its acidic group, glutamate.

Glutathione maintains our proteins in their proper form. Its sulfur atom reacts with unnatural sulfur-sulfur bonds in proteins, breaking them and allowing the proper pairings to form. This reactive sulfur also maintains the iron in hemoglobin at the proper charge. Relatively high concentrations of glutathione, found throughout the body, are necessary for these functions.
