Norman Powell Life

Norman W. C.

Powell (born May 25, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Playing college basketball with the UCLA Bruins, he was an all-conference player in the Pac-12.

He was selected in the second round of the 2015 NBA draft. Powell was a two-time all-state high school player in California and led his team to a state championship before joining UCLA.

After entering his senior year in 2014–15 as the Bruins' top returning player, he emerged as a team leader and received first-team All-Pac-12 honors.

He was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks, who subsequently traded his draft rights to Toronto.

Early years

Powell was born in San Diego, California, to Sharon and Norman Powell Sr. He was introduced to basketball by his uncle, Raymond Edwards. Powell decided to attend high school at Lincoln High, which had just been rebuilt and lost many athletes. He helped rebuild their basketball program, leading the team to consecutive California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) San Diego Section 2A championships in 2009 and 2010. The team also captured the 2010 CIF Division II Boys' State Championship, with Powell scoring 24 points in a 74–59 win over Mountain View St. Francis. He finished his junior season averaging 19.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.7 steals, and earned first-team all-state as well as Western League Most Valuable Player (MVP) honors.

In his senior year, he was again first-team all-state and league MVP, and averaged 20.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 steals. Lincoln was 32–2 and won the league title with a 12–0 record. They were ranked No. 3 in California and No. 15 nationally, but were defeated 74–69 by Summit in the state semifinals. He finished his high school career winning the San Diego County All Star Game Dunk Contest.

Considered a four-star recruit by ESPN.com, Powell was listed as the No. 15 shooting guard and the No. 52 player in the nation in 2011. Powell chose to play college basketball for UCLA over San Diego State, Arizona and Oregon.

Personal life

Powell has two older sisters, Joniece and Margaret. He majored in history at UCLA.

In October 2017, Powell teamed with web host GoDaddy to launch his website and his first single "No Problem".

Norman Powell Career

College career

He was the first true freshman to play in 33 games in 2011, ranking him fifth among the only Bruins to play in every game this season. Although he excelled as a driving guard in high school, his role at UCLA has changed, with less than half of his shots around the rim and close to half from outside on three-point attempts, total score 38.5% in the last 18 games.

Powell played 32.1 minutes in 2012–13, getting nine points in 22.1 minutes while playing all 35 games. He started the season as a starter but was later moved to the bench. In the first seven games, his minutes decreased from 28.4 to 19 in the upcoming 26 games. Powell's minutes have soared to 37 per game after losing injured starter Jordan Adams. After the season, he considered moving to San Diego State, but opted to remain because UCLA coach Ben Howland was fired. Powell praised Howland for his defense work, but he did say that "there were a few things going wrong for me" and that "I certainly wanted to see a change." Steve Alford has been hired as the Bruins' new coach.

Powell appeared in all 37 games and finished third on the team in scoring (11.4). He became an offensive threat and a tenacious defender under Alford. He was more aggressive in throwing the ball into the basket, and he dunked more than he should in Howland's system. Powell, the team's top offensive player and most coveted member of the Pac-12 Conference All-Defensive Team, was routinely named the opponent's best offensive player and received honorable mention. For the first time since high school, UCLA opened the 2014 NCAA tournament in San Diego, allowing him to play in his hometown. In three tournament tournaments, UCLA advanced to the Sweet 16, while Powell averaged 13.0 points and 2.7 rebounds. After the season, he considered playing professionally in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and requested an analysis of his chances for the forthcoming 2014 NBA draft.

Powell, a college graduate who was unlikely to be drafted, decided to return for his senior year and made UCLA's best returning player and scorer for 2014-2015, while seniors Travis and David Wear graduated. Powell worked to develop his jump shot during the offseason. He grew to be a leader of the team as the season progressed, and progressively assumed more responsibility. Despite the fact that freshman teammate Kevon Looney was seen as a potential NBA lottery pick, Powell became the Bruins' most consistent performer. Powell scored a career-high 28 points in a 72-67 victory over Washington State on March 1, 2015. In two games this week, he averaged 26 points and 5.5 rebounds, and was lauded for his third Pac-12 Player of the Week award. The Bruins defeated the United States 2–0, earning them an unexpected No.4 seed and first-round bye in the 2015 Pac-12 tournament and maintaining their hopes of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament. Powell was voted first-team All-Pac-12 at the end of the season, and he received an honorable mention for the All-Defensive Team. He was also named first-team all-district by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) and second-team all-district by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). With 16.4 points per game, he was the team's highest scoring leader, the sixth highest in the conference.

Professional career

Powell was selected with the Milwaukee Bucks' 46th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft on June 25, 2015. He and a 2017 first-round draft pick were then traded to Greivis Vásquez by the Toronto Raptors. He was the first rookie to be named to the All-NBA Summer League First Team after signing with Toronto on July 15, 2015 in Las Vegas. Powell started playing time in 2015-16 due to injuries to Terrence Ross and DeMarre Carroll. He later served with the Raptors 905, Toronto's D-League affiliate, which later received multiple assignments.

Powell started his NBA debut on February 2, 2016, going scoreless in 15 minutes with Carroll out after knee surgery and James Johnson sidelined with a swollen ankle. In a 107-89 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on March 15, he made his eighth appearance in his career and scored a then-season high 17 points. In a 119–100 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 28, he surpassed that record on March 28, scoring 18 points. He scored ten points in a 105-97 win over the Atlanta Hawks, helping the Raptors win their first season in franchise history. Powell led the Indiana Pacers to a new season high with 27 points on April 8, with All-Stars DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry resting. Powell set the Raptors' regular-season record by defeating the Brooklyn Nets in a 103-96 victory. He was named the month's NBA Rookie of the Month after averaging 15.3 points per game in April.

Powell appeared sparingly for the Raptors in the first half of the 2016–17 season. Powell received a variety of starting assignments, with DeMarre Carroll sitting out back-to-back games early in the season. Every time he had the opportunity, he would rise to the occasion, but only to go missing in action for a few games before his services were required. Powell won by 116-104 over the Brooklyn Nets on December 20, 2016, scoring a season-high 21 off the bench. Over the next three months, he had three more 21-point games. Powell scored a playoff career-high 25 points against the Milwaukee Bucks on April 24, 2017, helping the Raptors to a 3–2 series lead with a 118–93 win.

Powell signed a four-year, $42 million contract extension with the Raptors on October 8, 2017. On the fourth year, the contract, which started with the 2018--19 season, had a player option.

Powell partially dislocated his left shoulder joint against the Utah Jazz on November 5, 2018, and was barred from playing indefinitely. After missing 21 games, he returned to action against the Indiana Pacers on December 19. In a 121-105 victory over the Pacers on January 6, 2019, he scored a season-high 23 points. In a 116-109 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 22, he had a career-high 11 rebounds. In a 117-109 overtime victory over the Miami Heat on April 7, he tied his season high with 23 points. In six games, Powell won his first championship when the Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals.

Fred VanVleet, the former Toronto shooting guard, took over as the starting shooting guard in 2019-20 after Toronto lost Danny Green in the free agency. Powell had been in double digits only once in the first seven games of the season. In the third quarter of a 90–83 victory over the Orlando Magic, he scored 19 of his career-high 33 points. For the first time in his career, he scored 20 or more points in three straight games in December, as a starter in place of an injured VanVleet. Powell hurt his shoulder against the Detroit Pistons later in the month and was out for three weeks before returning in mid-January. Against the Pistons on January 31, 2020, he fractured his fourth metacarpal of his left hand. He recovered at the end of February after missing nine games. In a 121–113 victory over the Golden State Warriors, Powell scored a career-high 37 points in a career-high victory. For the first time in his career, he was named the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week after scoring 51.3 percent on 56 percent shooting and assisting the Raptors in three road games this week. Toronto advanced to the conference semifinals against the Boston Celtics, where Powell helped tie the series at 3 after scoring 15 of his 23 points in Game 6, a 125-122 victory.

Powell climbed into the starting lineup in mid-January 2021 after the 2020-2021 season. In a close loss at Detroit on March 17, he scored a career-high 43 points.

The Portland Trail Blazers acquired Powell from Toronto in exchange for Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood, who were on hand to trade for Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood on March 25, 2021. Powell had made 31 starts in his 41 games and was averaging a career-high 19.6 points, with his 3-point field goal percentage ranking 10th in the league at 43 percent. Powell made his debut and scored a game-high 22 points in 36 minutes in a 112–105 win over Orlando Magic on March 27. Powell signed a new, five-year, $90 million deal with the Trail Blazers on August 6, 2021.

Powell was traded by Robert Covington in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson, and a 2022 second-round pick on February 4, 2022. Powell was reunited with former Toronto teammates Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka, the latter of whom will be traded to the Milwaukee Bucks on February 10. In a 137-113 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in his Clippers debut on February 6, Powell had 28 points and 4 assists. He sustained a medial sesamoid bone fracture in his left foot on February 10, which kept him sidelined for two months. Since being drafted, Powell appeared in a total of seven games for the Clippers, two play-in games, and averaged a career-high 20 points.

D-Day veteran, 98 - one of the six Brits still living who stormed the Normandy beaches in 1944 - lives alone in tiny bungalow and says his only contact with the neighbours is when he takes the bins out

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 20, 2024
A D-Day veteran has heartbreakingly revealed that he lives alone in a tiny bungalow and says his only contact with the neighbours is when he takes the bins out. Norman Powell, 98, is one of an estimated six remaining British men who stormed the Normandy beaches in 1944, in one of the key turning points of the Second World War. The former engineer says he has been 'forgotten about by society' and has been trapped in his home in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire whilst he waiting two-and-a-half years for a vital knee operation. Mr Powell says he finds the isolation 'difficult' to live with since his wife and old friends have passed, while many of family members live elsewhere and 'have their own lives to lead'. He added: 'I can't go anywhere. I don't drive now. They've taken my car away from me. All I have is a battery-operated scooter and as far as I can get is Tesco . The people I speak to during the week are my daughter and, well. No-one.' The vet was provided with a list of local social events by the NHS to attend for some activity and company, but says he 'doesn't know' where these venues are in Nottingham and would require a taxi every time he left the house.

Clippers coach Ty Lue is fined $35k for claiming refs were 'cheating' after he was ejected in comeback win over the Warriors: 'That's all they be doing'

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 16, 2024
The NBA said in a tweet on Friday that Lue had been fined for 'public criticism of the officiating and questioning the game officials' authenticity.' Following Lue's victory by 130-125, Lue was caught yelling his emotions. His annoyances came from being ejected with two technical fouls early in the fourth quarter as the Clippers trailed the Warriors. Following a brief scuffle between both teams, Lue was dismissed. 'Where the refs at now? Lue yelled to his players and workers outside the locker room,'Cheating.' 'They're all doing.'

Harden shot 12 of 16 from the ground, including 8 of 11 from 3-point range. Kawhi Leonard scored 28 points, Paul George had 27 points, Ivica Zubac had 18 points, 16 rebounds, and three blocks, and Norman Powell led the Clippers to 19 points, the first in a row since Dec. 25, 2015.
