People coming from a different planet would think every day things we do in life are weird. What we have adapted to and think are normal look very weird to others who haven’t seen people doing things like this. Such as someone who has never shaved before would think that is very odd to shave your beard. Or someone who has never seen a drive threw would think it’s weird to have people have food handed out the window. As we think other cultures are weird we have to look at the fact that our culture is weird to others People that have never seen basketball would thing it is a bunch of people running around with a ball.…
Millions of people go to games or watch SportsCenter every day. I enjoy a good baseball game, but I’ll watch football or basketball if I get a chance. Baseball is great because of the incredible history. Even reading about the old-time games excites me. Football has overtaken baseball as the national sport.…
Basketball Nerd “If only I could beat Tommy in basketball,” I though. Everyone would laugh at him and I could prove that I am good at sports. I have recently moved in because of getting bullied in other schools. I have gotten pushed into lockers, punched in the face and even locked in the teacher’s lounge. My parents are sick of me getting bullied.…
Like all children all I ever wanted was to be big and do big people things. I engaged in a few family members that I would look up to and try everything they did. I use to pretend to go grocery shopping and being a parent at times. At the age of eight, I had worn the worst pain ever and that was watching my five, year old brother getting hit by a car while trying to cross the street riding a bicycle that had a loose chain. I remember him trying to get up and get to me, but a few adults that had witnessed the accident had told him to lay down.…
Basketball has been a part of my life as I have played it since I could remember. I was in the school’s team year after year and was even drafted for the team as high school came. However, a bike accident prior to the regional tournament took a toll on my body. The lower pelvic of my right foot was injured and could no longer withstand the stress of playing basketball. All hopes and expectations of playing in the high school team were shattered.…
Basketball To go to the tournament, I wake up early and eat breakfast. At the tournament on the court, I arrive. To get ready to play, we warm up.…
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.…
Basketball season is here again, and the College’s teams are ready to begin its seasons with several new players. Steve Shepard, head men’s basketball coach, said the team is ready to get its season under way. “We are excited about getting started,” Shepard said. “It's been a good pre-season.

I could just tell something was going to happen that night. The crazy energy in the atmosphere at the Capital One Arena made it obvious. It was the Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards with the Wizards facing a crucial game six. This game could send the Wizards home if they didn’t win. Me being a Washington Wizards superfan, I was into every second until the buzzer.…
My time in the NBA was fun because of all the thing I was able to see and do. During my time I was able to influence many people . My time in Philly was definitely the peak in my career not only because of all the success I had but also because of all the support I got. When I was picked the fans believed in me and from that point I knew I was gonna be great. When I first came into the league I wanted to be different as a player and how I present myself.…
This weekend I have a basketball tournament in Tiverton. We will be playing teams from all over Rhode Island. Last weekend I had a basketball tournament in Coventry. My team made it to the finals, but we lost to a very good team. This weekend I am hoping that we will not only get to the finals, but get into the finals and win.…
The game ended with one swing of the bat. We had just won a regional title. None of us knew what this meant for us but who cared, we were winners. After basking in our glory for all of 10 minutes, we were told to pack a bag because in the morning we left for Yountville, a small city in Northern California where many retired vets stayed. It was here that we would would play for the state championship over the next three days, as well as be our first stepping stone to an undefeated trip through state, Super Regionals, and finally placing 4th in the Nation.…
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.…
It was my senior year of basketball and it was just getting started. This was it, my final year where we were going to win State and I was going to get a college scholarship. I had prepared all summer and in the preseason, nothing was going to get in my way. Our team was smaller this year and lacked the skill we had in the previous years, but that just meant I was going to have to step up even more. I was totally ready for the season and whatever challenges we would face as a team.…
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.…
