NBA Finals

Essays are always time consuming, but when one has a final product, they always have that sense of accomplishment. The essay may not be perfect the first time around, but with some revision all of the mistakes can be corrected. I have improved my essay writing throughout EN100 with my writing strategies, my ability to revise, and my overall composition of the paper. When I write essays, I make sure I am familiar with my topic. By knowing the topic, I am able to explain and go further into…

The official NBA statistics show a 50% increase in three point shots attempted from the years 1995-2014. Teams used to average 10 per game but as three pointers became more common the number skyrocketed to 22 per game. This remarkably high increase of three pointers…

When the game was ours was written by Jackie MacMullan and the book was based off of the fierce rivalry of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in there many face-offs for basketball glory. “When you think you have done enough, do a little more, because someone out there is working harder than you.” Jackie Macmullan really does a fantastic job telling the story on what it was like when the game was theirs. Magic Johnson and Larry Birds rivalry was unmatched, even to this day there hasn’t been a rivalry…

own way to fly. Distinguished poet Eloise Greenfield and celebrated artist Jan Spivey Gilchrist honor the beauty of the human spirit and offer a timeless message that will resonate with readers young and old.

In the end, he became a real three-point shooters. Playing outstanding defense did not come straight to him either. He had to study…

Inside of class for my 20 time project I mostly read books and looked up things. 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…

However, he never noticed me, because I was always the last one to finish the training. I always believe that sports spirit is very important, even if you are the last one to complete the training. But that was not the case in this situation. On the final day, we were required to play scrimmages. During the games, I truly felt that “atmosphere.” My teammates never passed the ball to me, and I did not get a chance to play. Whenever I got a rebound, they just shouted “Give me the ball!” And that’s…

Peter is…

Chester High school in the Suburban One playoffs at Chester isn’t ideal for any basketball player from Southeastern Pennsylvania; it was truly a blessing and an experience I will remember for the rest of my life.
