Basketball isn’t just a sport to me it’s my life. My dad was a coach of a boys team when I was first born, and my mom and I would always go to his games. In fact, his whole entire team signed a little plush basketball for me. I think that basketball is somewhere floating around my house still to this day. My dad, was the person to get me involved in basketball. I mean I was three, it’s not like I told him that I wanted to play basketball.

All I remember mostly is that I felt unstoppable during most of my games. I felt on top of the world and that I was the greatest 5 year old basketball player. I was also a huge ball hog, when I had the ball you know I was never giving it away. I also felt that I was a scoring machine and I would dropped 20 points a game, but in reality scoring an average six to eight points, which is still very good for a 5 year
