Today I am going to tell you about three of my best talents running, baseball, and basketball. My first talent is running. The reason one of my best talents is running is because my grandad and my dad were really good at running so I have running in my blood. The next reason is when I was at basketball practice we had to run 10 times up and down the court in 1 minute and I beat everybody by at least 1 half court. One other reason is that I run a 24:00 minute 5k (3.1 miles), and always get in…

Internationally I saw that some big news was also that of the biggest news in America which was 911 In sports…

17. Robert Carter - PF/C, Maryland Robert Carter is also a very intriguing prospect, because his outcome depends so much on how many of his 'swing skills' translate in the NBA. If his shooting continues development (as it appears it will) into the NBA, then his offense could be a huge plus when combined with his blooming ball-moving ability. If his interior defense is legit and he's also agile enough to keep up with quicker 4's, then his defense could be reeeally good. If his rebounding isn't…

Kobe Bryant is to be considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time. With 5 NBA Championships and an MVP award he not only backs up the fact that he might be the greatest with titles, but also as an individual with the MVP he obtained.

Kobe is a 6’6 shooting guard in the NBA that plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was born August 23, 1978. Growing up,…

Swish!!!!! There's another bucket from Lebron James, who is the highest paid athlete and who also makes 71 million dollars a year. Professional athletes take time away from their lives. They deserve to have high salaries. They take time away from their families and their everyday lives. Some athletes put their lives on the line. Just for our entertainment, but we as fan repay them by packing the stands, by cheering for them, by supporting them through every win and every lost. There are many…
