Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry made an instant splash during his rookie NBA campaign. The seventh pick from Davidson, averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.9 steals in the 2009-2010 season.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics have battled to a 2-2 tie in the 2010 NBA Finals. As the teams prepare for a crucial Game 5, much discussion will focus on game strategy and player performance. What is often overlooked is the dietary and hydration awareness involved with competing at the highest levels of athletics. Research indicates that NBA players can lose up to 10 pounds of sweat during an average game. This does not factor in the level of perspiration lost during practice and conditioning efforts.

As the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics prepare for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, it is interesting to note the difference in accessibility between the home team and road team, particularly in a championship series situation.
