“I can’t believe the day is finally here to see my second oldest child’s senior night; you growing up on me”, said my Mom. At this moment in my life I felt like this was the most important day thus far. For me, it wasn’t the fact that I’m a senior and I’m about to graduate, but we play our rivals, Fairmont. We are the only team that has came close to beating the undefeated tornadoes. I prepared extremely hard for this game, I wasn’t going to accept losing by any means. My started real well, I…

”, “how can you jump like that?” I am very quick playing and very good shooter too. I move very well without the ball especially cutting down to receive the ball near the basketball hoop. I have been known to make some incredible shots and insane layups. Players have asked me “how in the world did you make that shot?” Sometimes I don’t even know how I make it but I act cool like I’m used to making those shots all the time. I cannot think of another sport where you can have fun playing either…

championship against Georgetown by scoring a game-winning jump. Michael Jordan was so good that he got an award for the most points a sophomore ever scored in North Carolina with a score of 721. Michael Jordan scored most of his points with shooting, layups, and a bit of dunking. In every game he played in he would usually have the most points where more than half of the points scored were…

To achieve their ultimate goal again this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers know they may have to get past the Toronto Raptors again in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Cavs defeated the Raptors in six games in the East Finals last season to advance to the NBA Finals and ultimately claim their first championship in franchise history. Tuesday night, the Cavs and Raptors met for the second time this season, as Toronto sought to get past the hurdle that has been Cleveland of late. The Cavs had…

than they had to. Another reason I like LeBron is the energy he brings to the court whenever he checks in. He is known for his big chase down blocks and mesmerizing dunks. Last year in the finals Andre Igoudola was running down the court had a easy layup but LeBron showed great energy and hustle and blocked to set up a victory for the game and to in the NBA finals. In almost every game you can almost count on LeBron to swat some one or too run down the court for an amazing slam. One of the big…

and pick-and-pop threat, and he has only gotten more efficient in that respect over the years. His post-ups are a thing of beauty; he can spin around defenders and finish through contact, hit them with a series of jab steps and move in for an easy layup or shoot a fade-away jumper from a safe distance. This kind of versatility is a rare skill in today's NBA, especially when it comes with the body of a…

third quarter was 50-48. In a basketball game no one wants to play the game where they stall and run down the clock so I ran up and blocked her shot and ripped the ball out of her hands. I started pacing down the court as fast as I could to make a layup and thankfully, it went in like the…

varied from me being the patient, shadowing a doctor, and simply helping those in need. One Summer day in 2012, it was 80 degrees out, perfect weather to play basketball outside. I was doing very well, however it all ended when I was going for a layup and one of my friends pushed…

The crowd started to count down 17, 16, 15, 14 and we were playing good defense when my teammate stole the ball and made a layup to put the game away. We won 74 to 72. We were in the championship game hoping that we would not have to play that team again. The team that we wanted to play lost by thirty points. Everybody that came to watch was sitting and ready for…

to the basket and dished it out to Brennan who was a bully but said sorry and now they are friends and Brennan make the three pointer. Then the other team gets the ball and they run down the court but Tristan gets a steal and jump so high for the layup and ended up dunking it. So by half time Tristan’s team is up 45 to 24. The third quarter gets underway with Tristan having almost over half their points with 25 they are dominating the game. Tristan dribbles down the court and shoots a three bang…
