I’m going to be the next LeBron James. Give me about 6 years and you’ll hear about me on every radio, phone, and TV. I’ll live in a mansion with an indoor basketball court and a pool. I’ll own a Ferrari, a Maserati, a Bugatti, and any other luxury car. I’ll make millions on top of millions of dollars.…
I looked up at the clock. Nine seconds. I looked up at the scoreboard. Carver 106, Ralph Bunche 104. Don’t shoot, I said to myself.…
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.…
You might not think basketball could help me academically; but it has. Leading up to this basketball game, academically, I was quite different than who I am today. Prior to this game, I did little talking to people that intimidated me, such as teachers, mostly I was just shy. However, after speaking with so many people that I did not know following the game, it has all changed. From that point on, I was brave and unafraid to communicate with teachers.…
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.…
Hero. when we hear the word hero, what do it automatically correlates with? In our generation, we hear this word being used a great deal. Throughout movies, book, and day-to-day conversations. We give people the hero title with no understanding of what the true meaning of the word.to me, a hero is somebody legendary, show great strength, and can power through any difficult circumstances.…
People watch tv and see famous celebrities and athletes and they wish what their lives would be like for a day. I would switch places with Lebron James for a day. If I were Lebron James, I could be working out and working on basketball skills all day long. I would also get to finally do his famous fadeaway and famous dunks.…
The quarterback snaps the ball i back pedal back and just watch him i saw him start running to the outside by himself i thought to myself ¨should i go try to tackle him and risk getting him space to throw the ball¨or stay put and risk letting him get a touchdown? I went with my gut and made the tackle everyone cheered foootball has been a big part of my life football would always make me happy even when i was sad and when I was sad and even my coaches would always ask me if i was ok when i was sad and they would always give me advice when i needed it. When i was little it always seemed to intrest me growing up in the seetiing i grow up in my family never really gave me the support i would like i was lost and i had no one to ask questions so…
My body is thrown across the court like a feather in the wind. Now, you're probably wondering how this could happen. Before this occurred, Harvest was beating my team, Burlington Blast, 31-30. There were 2 minutes left in he fourth quarter. My long blonde ponytail was flying back and forth as I soared down the court breathlessly.…
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.…
(I don’t know what causes me to get addicted to basketball but when I play, I feel like my body gets pumped up, driving me to release the energy. Whenever I feel stress of schoolwork or unhappy, basketball helps to ease my mind. It is also an escape from schoolwork, a source of enjoyment, and clearly a way of exercising as well.) That results that we won most of the Cup that we joined placing in the first place, second, and sometimes third.…
Basketball added fun to my life. It gave me something to do and a group to belong in high school. Instead of sitting down at home watching television and playing video games, I engaged myself with basketball practices. I learnt new skills and improved existing ones. As a result, my self-confidence and self-esteem were greatly enhanced.…
