Magic lead the lakers to nine finals appearances and won five of them (Amerman). Also Magic never averaged…

yourself can affect other people around you. These choices can make or break you. My first pivotal choice that I want to talk about is my decision to stop playing basketball. I played basketball since the 3rd grade. My 8th grade year, I was coached by Coach Drushel. He called me Devinstein because he said I had a high basketball IQ.…

played basketball? I have been playing basketball for 9-10 years. When I was younger I found out how to be very successful in the game of basketball.

I’m meeting Kyrie Irving! He’s meeting me at Oracle Arena at the end of the NBA finals, game seven. Plus, he said i get to sit with the team. He is the best basketball player in the NBA right now. It is the fourth quarter, and it's tied with one minute left to go. They inbound it and give the ball to kyrie. Kyrie splashed a three in stephen Curry’s face. I went crazy. Then curry took it up and missed a three point shot. Then lebron took it up and just held it until the buzzer. They are NBA…

are young. If a young player can develop good fundamentals and playing habits before the bad ones become second nature, they have a realistic chance of becoming the best player they can possibly be. In basketball, the most overlooked aspect of the game is defense. Kids love to watch their basketball heroes put the ball in the basket, essentially ignoring any efforts to keep them from doing so. Great offensive players like Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler, Kareen Abdul Jabbar and Stephen Curry will…

Basketball has always been my best sport. I started playing in the ninth grade, and everything was going great with practices and playing, except for one game Then everything changed. It all started on game day, in the big gymnasium. Freshman games usually do not have a lot of people compared to varsity, but they were still very nerve wrecking. “Hustle in boys!” our coach shouted. “Deandre, I want you guarding 11,” he demanded. Quickly, the team ran back to the court, and went into position. The…
