best player all game, it’s time we catch him off guard,” he said. I answered with a head nod, because my mouth was paper. A 6 foot 4 inch guy shouldn 't have any trouble guarding a guy 4 inches shorter than you, right? WRONG. I have been playing basketball since 5, and I’ve learned size is not always an advantage. If a guard is quicker than you, and has a reliable outside shot, then you have to worry about guarding the perimeter AND the drive to the hoop. Number 24, Mark Lewis, was exactly this…

not bounce higher than a soccer ball. A volleyball is filled with compressed air by the pump used to inflate the ball. When a ball hits the ground, the air inside compresses a little more, momentarily, and the elastic stretchy properties of the basketball skin lets the ball flatten slightly at the bottom. The volleyball is filled with air, that helps it bounce up when the force of its weight from gravity hits the ground. The materials a soccer ball is composed of, has a high degree of…

Struggle To Recover Ever since I started playing, I’ve always loved the game of basketball and the exhilarating rush that it gave me. My favorite aspect of it was being part of a team and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces as the ball went through the hoop and we scored a few points. One day, I began to have chest pains; thinking that it was completely normal for an athlete, I ignored it and continued to play basketball. The first time I couldn’t breathe was in practice a few years back, I…

Visualize being a kid again, just getting out of school, and starting to walk home. The walk home might be a little different for other young kids, especially those living in poverty. One out of five kid’s lives in poverty and one out of five kids won’t graduate on time. For many of these kids, not graduating on time or dropping out of school is inevitable. Non-profit organizations are providing a safe place for young kids to learn and grow, in particular one foundation. Americans should support…

One of the most memorable things I have are my all red Derrick Rose Adidas basketball shoes. These shoes mean a lot, for they represent a whole season of basketball. A whole season of my last year playing aau basketball with girls I grew up with. The shoes remind me of all the games and practices that we had together. Every free throw, every jump shot, every layup, every three-pointer I ever took in my last season. All the memories I made with my team. Remembering all the crazy things we did at…

Topic A The summer of my junior year was spent living, breathing, and thinking basketball. In order to be as prepared as possible I attended the PGC basketball camp at St. Mary’s university. Before signing up I was a bit hesitant considering the fact that I had never attend a camp like that before and I had never been around people of different races. Though I was skeptical I gave my mom the go ahead to sign me up because I was going to do anything in my power to make the varsity squad. It was…

The studies taken by American College of Sports Medicine showed that training after an injury can prevent getting the same injury again. This means that if someone works out and gets stronger where the injury had occurred, most likely they won’t have that same injury again. Listening…

Could you imagine making millions upon millions doing what you love? Well that’s what professional athletes do. They make more money than they know what to do with. Professional athletes should not be paid as much as they are. The people and fans going to watch them and support them, can hardly afford a ticket. Don’t forget about the famous ballpark hot dogs either, but those will cost you an arm and leg. Of course, you need a souvenir so people know you were really there. It will all start…
