Future NBA Star
The NBA is wonderful organization where players with talent come to show off their skills they have in this sport. Someday, I would like to be one of those people. The road will be hard and tough, but if I stay stay strong and confident, I may be someday, an NBA Star. My journey would begin in a rec league when I’m about 9 to 10 years old. For me this was my first time playing against other people that I didn’t know. But I stayed strong, even though I didn’t play my best that day, I knew that this was the sport I wanted to play all my life. Now we fast forward to my 6th grade year. This season was me and my teammates first official school ball team. We enjoyed it and loved it like we did with anything else. Although we did not

To win it two years in a row, that's when the college scouts get interested. All the seniors who are the sophomores now, will be gone and off to college. So when my junior year comes we will not be the best team, but will be good enough to win the sectional, and maybe a chance at regional. That's when I get offered. A man in a nice crimson suit comes over and asks, “Son, I think you have the talent and ability to play at Indiana University” Right then and there I would accept that offer. At Indiana they have the best coaching and history of any other team in the nation. Playing there is my childhood dream, just running out on the court and playing other teams across the nation. But first, I would have to finish my high school years with one more year left. With my senior year coming up, I knew that I had to play extra harder than before to show the Indiana scout the capability that I have to play at Indiana. We would maybe win sectional, but not the regionals. After the season was over I would move on to the next chapter of my life. At the first day at practice I would meet all my new teammates, and coaches. When they ask me what number I wanted to be, I would say #24. I would chose this number because it was the number I started out with at the start of my career. My first game of my college career was about to start and I played great throughout the season and even won Indiana’s 6th national championship. Then after one year in college I was going to the NBA draft and got drafted by the Indiana Pacers. I played alongside Paul George and Jeff Teague. I would play at least 20 years in the league before retiring and ending my basketball career for good. At my time at Indiana I will win two championships, and 6 MVP awards. Then someday become a sports commentator after I retire from the

    The (2-8) Los Angeles Lakers are in the valley of the sun, Phoenix, Arizona, to battle the (5-4) Suns. The Lakers, led by an all-around effort by Kobe Bryant, Jordan Clarkson and a defense that held the Detroit Pistons to 37-percent shooting from the field helped the purple and gold notch their second win of the season and first home win of the 2015-16 season. While in Phoenix, time permitting, the Lakers could view Camelback Mountain, for a challenging hike on Cholla trail, also a visit to see the preserved Victorian-style homes in Heritage Square.
