Basketball Monologue

He plays until it gets dark and starts as soon as the sun comes up. His mom dyes and he doesn’t tell anyone. So he’s living on his own, stealing things to get by. One day he decides he needs a new pair of sneakers for the season and goes to the Footlocker on the other side of town. When he try’s to steal them he gets caught. This forces him to either go to a group home, or get adopted right away. The Lawton’s adopted him. They are very nice but Jayson isn’t accepting them like he should. He starts off hating his new school and his new teammates. Soon he gets along with them and meets a friend named Zoe. Zoe is really nice even when Jayson is mean. Soon Jayson and Zoe are dating and Jayson finds out that Zoe’s parents want her to be perfect. A couple of weeks later Jayson over hears Zoe’s mom talking about how Jayson is a thief and a drug dealer. The thief part was right but the drugs were not. Zoe didn’t talk to him again. This made Jayson focus on basketball just so he didn’t think about Zoe. He won the league championship against his old team in the final

The day was October 8th, 2014. I hardly played. One school day, my 5th teacher, Ms. Smit said, “flyers for the basketball team on the table” ordinarily I took one. Kids from 4th, 5th, and 6th grade came to try out for the team. After tryouts, a paper next to the nurse's office was hung up. The paper sheet named those who had made the team. Surprisingly, I made the team, most likely from my height. I felt like I shouldn’t have made the team. At the time, I barely started to play basketball. I went to the practices at school and tried to make myself a little bit better, since a tournament was about to begin in a few weeks.

What do you think when you hear volleyball; serve, bit, pass, net and ball. It's so much more than that it's aggression, passion, oomph,uphill battle, and love. At first I thought volleyball was just for fun, but then one day that all changed. "Hurry up and make sure that you have everything you need," my mom shouted. "Okay, I'll be out in a minute," I replied. I promptly jammed my shoes into my bag, zipped it and rushed out my bedroom and down to the front door. My mom rushed in and said, "Let's go." We seemed to accelerate down the road. As we approached the gymnasium the car and dashed into the building. Legion points into the game everyone started to glance around frantically

          Five years later he joined a local little league basketball team named The Pellets. Shaun was the teams Center considering the fact that he was a 4 foot 2 five year old. His number was 31 and that number seemed to give his team luck because they won the next three back to back Championships.''WE ARE THE BEST'' he would yell ''Yes we are'' his coach would respond. It was like that for those three years and two other years where they lost right before the Championship game so they would not make it to the championship, but they were still considered great, but sadly the year he turned ten years old, he decided to quit basketball

Ben,Coop, and Lily came over to Sams house, what they called the court four. Then when every one was leaving ben asked sam so they went to shoot some hoops. At first sam didn't want to. But then they went they were shooting sam was running with the ball and didn't see the hole and rolled his ankle. And started to scream. Ben said its

After school one day he tried out for the middle school football team. The worst part was having to spend the end of the tryout waiting for the results. The players did all the same drills during the tryout, and now they just stood there and waited. All the boys were standing awkwardly, twitching and with sweaty palms trying

Then he felt his shoes lift off the floor and then the rest of his body came off of his gamer bean bag. At first he was scared and then he was excited. He saw Lebron James practicing basketball across the street. He decided to go show him up across the street.

So then after he was done practicing he waited till they played again and when they played again it was the first real game of the year. So when it was time to play Ben was ready for Chase and also on Bens team his best friend Sam was also very good at the sport so he had him for a back up if he needed help out there. This was also a very good game till the final seconds of it. The game was tied and it was Ben's ball and he ran down the court and shot the ball and missed. Then Chase got the rebound and took it down court fast so Ben had to recover and then Chase crossed over and pulled up and made the game winning shot. So then over the span of the next three days Ben would hardly come out of his room to eat or do anything. Then finally he came out of his room and went to the court to start practicing again but this time with Sam. They stayed out there for hours playing one on one and Ben had Sam act like he was Chase so they could find a way to stop him and so Ben could find a way to not let him get into his head the next time they played each

So Owen and their dad tried to help Russell get to start watching basketball. One day Owen and his dad were watching a basketball game, and Russell came downstairs to get his book that he really wanted to read, but his dad wanted him to watch the game. Throughout the game Russell new random facts that he read in the newspaper, even though he really didn’t want to watch the game. Owen was mad that his dad wanted Russell wanted to watch the game because that was him and his dad’s thing. He and his dad always had a special bond because of basketball, and his dad had a hard time connecting with Russell because he was a Mathlete. Instead of having a basketball game he would have a brainac competition, which their mom went to while their dad went to Owens basketball games. So instead of practicing his layups Russell would be diving into his books or next week’s homework. As Owen is trying to help Russ with his dribbling and his shooting, he came to the assumption that he was terrible at both. As Owen went for a layup, Russ was standing under the goal and suddenly he blocked his shot over and over

I was walking up to bat. All I could hear was cheering through one ear and booing through the other. I took my stance and put the bat on my right shoulder and waited for the pitcher to throw the ball. The pitcher stared me down, probably trying to intimidate me some how. It worked. I could see the twitching of his right eye as he ogled me. He lifted his left leg and that was when I knew that the ball was going to soon be coming towards my face. As I braced myself, waiting for the ball to come, the boy opposite of me flung his right arm backwards, making both crowds go silent in anticipation. I could see the ball leave his hand and come towards me. I was trying to focus on the tiny, white ball, while zoning out the crowd cheering and yelling

I wish my mom would understand that I want to go back to ice skating. I used to love it and then I hurt myself and there wasn’t any point in competing if I was hurt. So I stopped competing, but now I want to start skating again but my mom doesn’t understand that. I would rather do skating than do volleyball. She thinks that skating lessons are too expensive and that all I would do is talk gossip on Brandon Erlich message board. I wish that she would let me do skating lessons there because I want to start my skating life back up again. The thing is that Brandon doesn’t even go the skating rink that I will take lessons at. Instead he trains in California. I can’t believe that she is so worried about the money. She can send Jonny to baseball
