Basketball has been the highlight of my highschool experience. I was eager to join the program freshman year of high school. I had a blast making new friends and looking forward to going to school because I loved basketball. I tried out again sophomore year and made the JV team. I grew a strong love for basketball that every time I'd play, I'll instantly be in a good mood. I was the goofy one out of all my teammates and wasn't shy to have fun. The JV team had an instant bond because of my big…

Basketball Basketball is more strenuous than people think. It requires a lot of stamina, patience, and skills. Most people view it as something anyone can play and be good at immediately, but it's actually more complicated than that. Basketball being such an unpredictable and such complicated game makes it so much more difficult to play and get a lot of success in. Most people underestimate basketball and think it's a lot easier than any other sports, but that not really the reality of it and I…

Every kid who plays a sport, has someone they idolize and eventually they will want to be just as successful or maybe even more successful than that person. But what makes that person successful? Is it the money? Is it the fame? Is it the flashy clothes and cars? Well, while all of that comes along with the success, it does not make an athlete successful. What makes an athlete successful is their talent, but also their determination, desire and their leadership qualities. The God given talent…

The person that is my role model and that i look up too is Kyrie Irving point guard for the cleveland cavaliers. Kyrie Irving is a person so dedicated to the game of basketball. Kyrie Irving also loves helping people in need on and off the basketball court. He has also achieved so many things in this young career at the age of 23.

He grew up loving the game and trying to be the best that he could be. But when high school came around his skills weren’t enough for varsity. After not making the…

league, yet the Cavaliers front office failed to surround him with talent. Mo Williams? Boobie Gibson? Ilgauskas? Please. They brought in Shaquille O'Neal in 2010, but that was when Shaq was way past his use-by date. If you've given a team seven years of your absolute best and more, and they can't repay you with anything, can you blame LeBron for leaving to South Beach? However with Kevin Durant, instead of Mo Williams he had an All-Star Point Guard, Top 5 player in the league superstar Russell…

It is that time of the semester, the Org Fair! Even though it is not as much fun as the Fall Org Fair, it is still an important day in the semester. It gives the opportunity of recruitment for the clubs on campus. For me, it is quite a busy day. For Dawg Pound, I am trying to promote the final stretch of basketball games as much as possible, as both teams are fighting for a home playoff game. There has definitely been some life the last two home games for the Dawg Pound, as attendance as level…
