My favorite movie is Love and Basketball. The way Sanaa Lathan plays the part of Monica is like they were one in the same. Hearing the name of the movie may have you thinking it is about the love of the game of basketball, when I'm reality it's about the love two high school kids have for each other and the love they share for basketball. Their love for basketball and one another are connected In a way. When they're on good terms they both have good games, but when every thing is wrong it…

Outside of class I watched videos and worked on my poster for my final presentation. The reason I chose basketball history was to be able to learn more about the game and it’s history. I also picked this topic because I really love basketball and I’ve been playing it since I was three so I have grown to like a lot. Another reason I chose this is because one day I hope to play college basketball. One thing I was hoping to learn from doing this project was to see which team won the most…

I thought to myself, “I’ll play a quarter or two, get used to the hoops and court, then rest and prepare.” The game started, and as a starting varsity…

decided to write my essay on was my basketball coach my senior year, Brian McIntosh. He only coached at my high school for one year, and prior to that he was an assistant coach at Emporia State University. Taking his expertise and leadership skills McIntosh helped take my team who had struggled the previous season and give them a last and successful season. He changed the atmosphere of the program and that year held the best record my school’s girl basketball team had seen in a long time. When I…

In Chapters 3 and 4, “Trouble with Geniuses”, Gladwell argues, “extraordinary achievement is less about talent than it is about opportunity” (76). Gladwell targets his audience by introducing Chris Langan, an individual that we may recognize and relate to since he has been on television news and game shows as well as in magazines throughout the last decade. He is “the public face of genius in American life, a celebrity outlier and one that “many call the smartest man in America” (Gladwell 70).…
