I am proud to be apart of Woodrow Wilson's basketball team because my coach taught me a lesson that no other man has taught me in my life.…

All hopes and expectations of playing in the high school team were shattered.…
Throughout my basketball careers at GRAC Christian School and High Point University I have seen different perspectives of the game of basketball. My freshman and Sophomore year at High Point increased my awareness of player specific needs, and knowledge of the game. The knowledge I gained from my freshman year allowed me the opportunity to assist…
Basketball became my favorite sport when my daddy first took me over my uncle house and watching my cousins play basketball against each other. At the age of 10 my dad bought me my first basketball goal, then my friends start coming over and play with me. I love basketball so much I started playing them for money. Playing for the school was my best time ever. Elementary to middle school I started point guard and shot my first game winning shot in the eighth grade.…
A nail bitter, teeth clincher, bone shaker. This game was everything you want when you take the family out for an evening of high school basketball. The Falcons and The Stallions battled tick for tac down to the very last second, but there could only be one winner. The first quarter was a bit sloppy, a lot of missed baskets, a lot of fouls, and plenty of turnovers, no one had gone on a stretch, after the first quarter the score was Green Run 10 Cox 9.…
Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Shaquille O’neal, Hakeem Olajuwon: What these six former NBA players share aside from their intimidating stature and hall of fame status is that, unbeknownst to them (and a vast majority of NBA fans and analysts as well for that matter), they would be the last of their kind in the NBA for the foreseeable future. Each player’s exit from the league brought us one step closer to the end of an era in the NBA; an era that was not only dominated by big men, but an era that simply utilized traditional center play in the very least. Now for the reader without sufficient knowledge of the game of basketball and the NBA and its history, traditionally, one of the biggest needs for…
I bolted to the wing. Nabil had just caught the rebound. He took charge of the point. Trying to showcase his “great” dribbling, he got the basketball knocked out of his hands. The defender jumped for the ball.…
When I tried out for the basketball team during the winter of my freshman year, I hadn't even considered the possibility of not making the team. Before that year, I had played on travel and middle school teams. I knew that I wasn't the best player on the court, but I scored a few points a game, and I played decent defence. For the duration of the tryout practices, I thought that I was doing well, but apparently the coach did not consider me a good fit for the team. After a meeting with the coach on the last day of tryouts, I was forced to go home with a heavy heart and a tight stomach.…
I had just woken up feeling cold. I looked out the window of my dorm to see the dark, cloudy day outside with the rain pelting down on the window pane. I was still really tired after the late night of getting praised on my amazing basketball skills, finally I had been recognized. The college basketball Hall of Fame plaque hung on the wall. It had just recently been updated after the Hall of Fame presentation on Saturday.…
The first time I learned basketball was when I am at the 6th grade when my physical education teacher registered me in a basketball summer camp. I used to be a shy and quiet girl but since joining the summer camp I started to socialize and have friends. After two months of learning basketball, I began to like it. Then, I started playing basketball in high school as part of my school’s team and I’ve been playing ever since. It started out as just an activity, and then became a hobby that’s something fun to do but later on, I found that I really like basketball.…
Leaping to make a diving save. Burying a long distance three-pointer. Throwing a no-hitter. Hitting a game-winning home run. During my high school athletic career, I was able to distinguish myself at my high school by earning twelve varsity letters.…
Doing something that I had always wanted to do and adding personal effort to it had brought out the best in me. Doing something well makes me feel good about myself, but importantly, it teaches me the process of how to improve on my skills and work efficiently. Evidently, team sports are done with other people. Therefore, basketball is a social activity. I made friends, developed relationship with teammates and understood the benefits of teamwork.…
