12、have to understand, college basketball is not like the N.B.A., where a team chooses you and then you have to play for them. Here, you cho ose where you want to go, and you go there for a good reason.“This is one thing Ive never seen in the N.B.A., and I dont think I ever will,”Erroll Knight said. “I

13、t is our way to represent where were from and tell people that were proud of it.”Like most dance steps and slang words, no one really knows who started the latest thing. One of the first documented accounts of jersey-popping occurred in December 2000, when Earl Watson faced the student section and t

14、ugged at the front of his jersey after his team erased a 19-point deficit against their opponents.“Basketball is an urban sport, a hip-hop sport, and what youre seeing right now comes from that,”Knight said. “If a guy is wearing a really nice shirt on the street and he wants to show it off to everyo

15、ne, hell do whats called popping his collar hell sort of flick his collar to demonstrate the value it has.

20、ocket or hand mirrorbecame a marker of status. The mirror, you might say, was an early personal technology ingenious, portable, effective and like all such technologies, it changed its users.

21、couraged self-consciousness and introspection and, as some worried, excesses of vanity.By the 19th century, it was the machines of the Industrial Revolution the power loom, the motor, the turbine that prompted concern about the effects of technology on the person.

22、alienated the worker from what he was toiling to produce, transforming him into a cripple, a monster.

42、a and went to the same tennis camp. They will speak the same dialect. They will move back to their hometowns and send their kids to that same tennis camp.
