Honestly, I never liked sports but my parents forced me to play them so I wouldn't just sit on the couch and because I looked athletic. By looking athletic I mean I was…

NBA players are fully deserving of their salaries because they train extremely hard, provide entertainment for many people, and help the growth of our economy. It’s easy to victimize…

There I was standing in front of that shiny maple, endless, terrifying basketball court. My hands felt like I had literally submerged them in a bucket of water. My heart was pounding uncontrollably.
