How I Learned To Play Basketball

Have you ever heard this saying, “Learning is a plant, the more sun, and knowledge, the more you grow”? What it's saying is the more you learn, the more you grow, like a plant. The thing is, I believe that everybody has room to grow as a person, and in what they know. The way I learned this myself is when I first started basketball when I played my first basketball game, and when I failed my very first math test in 7th grade.

his family members and most of my moms. JJ was there and my girlfriend was there to for me to support me. Everybody loved my dad he was a special person to me and to everybody he touched. After the funeral i felt drained and in my mind i knew i woild have to step up and be a man to my family and to become a man. My mom was still a peidiatrician at peidmont and she still gets a lot of money for her job and we still can do all the stuff that we used to but the time part is going to be a problem so i am going to have to ride home with JJ after practice. The high school still needs to find a new head coach for the team ASAP and we need a new head coach for our AAU team. I go to basketball training that northgate has called summer league and meet

He took care of me and even traveled to CVS to obtain my medication. As well as continuously checking my condition every day. No matter what time I contact him, I constantly know that he will be there for me. As of today he still lives in California, but I know that if I ever needed him he would definitely fly out to New Jersey to support me.

It wasn 't always easy living with my father, but I always knew he had my best interests at heart. When I finally entered Marymount High School, I had a burning desire to try out for the basketball team. Even though I was tall and athletic, my father wouldn’t allow me to get involved in sports. He told me a student who wanted to become a doctor didn 't have time to play games.

I have played sports my whole life. I specifically like basketball though. When I was in 8th grade, I tried out for a basketball team. I ended up not making the team, this woke me up. I realized if I wanted to play competitive basketball for a long time, I knew I had to get down to business because high school was just around the corner. I signed up for several camps, and worked really hard on my game the whole summer and before the tryout. Then tryout came around, and I was so nervous. On the 2nd tryout day, I was chasing someone down the court. When he went up I ended up blocking it, and while I was in the air, he tried to kick me. He missed and got under my foot. My foot opened up, and I had a sprained foot. I was so mad, I didn’t want

It all happened freshman year, the beginning of the demise to my love for my favorite thing in the whole world. I’ve always loved basketball, playing basketball was my favorite thing to do. I was really looking forward to tryouts and the upcoming season. I thought it was gonna be the best season of basketball that I’ve ever had and that it was gonna be filled with excitement. But it ended up being the complete opposite.

Once he made it to my first year of highschool he tried of for the varsity team I made the team and started every game all the way until he graduated high school he was a one thousand point scorer. he was offered many scholarships to come play basketball but he chose duke university. My first year of college I was already being scouted for the NBA draft My second year of college he was eligible for the 2024 NBA draft. I was drafted to the Boston celtics he was 2 overall first round pick for a four year contract for 100 million. After my contract was up he was a free agent he resigned with celtics and got my very first signature shoe with nike At the age of twenty three a

There have been several events that have affected my life. there's times that life will hit you hard that will make you fall over but you will need to get back up and continue what you started. This is how i viewed myself with my ambitious journey of basketball. I was around seven years old when I was bored at home and I turned on the TV and was skipping through the channels and I wanted to see what I was going to be able to watch. I stopped at the sports channel for whatever reason and I remember that it was a Spurs game in the NBA (National Basketball Association). I was in shock seeing people jump all around being able to run from the court coast to coast being chased down by others trying to get the ball through the basket. I saw this particular player at the time on the opposing team Ray Allen from the Boston Celtics. This man had such a dominant presence on the court just getting the ball and being able to shoot the ball in any given time in whatever position he was in either it was going to be contested or open he gets the ball its an automatic scoring machine. This got me very fascinated and i began to start watching basketball since that day. I also wanted to try basketball wanted to play the position Ray allen played a shooting guard, one that is a spot up shooter and is in charge to score from a convertible distance away.

It all started my senior year of high School, we knew this season would be rough considering we lost eight seniors on the varsity basketball team. Five of which all started every game of the year. We knew we had a tough road ahead of us but looking back we never realized just how tough it was going to be. There were three seniors going into the 2016 girls’ varsity basketball season including me. And only one returning varsity player that wasn’t a senior. We ended up with me as the only starting senior, a junior, two sophomores’, and a freshman. The other teams probably thought our coach was crazy to say the least.

Growing up having a big brother who played basketball, was a blessing. I wanted to follow in his shoes. He was 6 years older than me, but he would play with me when I was old enough to walk. Then when I turned 4 years old my mom and dad enrolled me in basketball through the YMCA. I was always felt liked I picked up on things fast and it made me want to learn more. My mom and dad both wanted me to try other sports to see if basketball wasn’t going be the only sport of I love. So, I tried football, but I told my mom I didn’t like it. I finished the season out because my mom had paid for me to do it, and she wasn’t going to waste her money. She also didn’t want

When I was young, he was there for me in many ways that I had yet to realize at such a small-numbered age. He was there for every church-league basketball game. Afterwards, he would always be waiting for me, handing me a savory fruit-punch Gatorade, always knowing

Dribbling the ball down the court everybody chants my name. People telling me “your the next big thing”,but they don't know whats going on off the court. Everybody thinks I'm just perfect, but I know I'm not. I come to school with bruises on my body and People question me on how i get them but i just tell them “i got it from the last basketball game.” I wanna tell somebody, but I'm afraid it will make things worse. Kids and teachers at the school will never understand what I go threw every day. Nobody knows my brother and I come from a broken home. I barely eat some days, because we don't have any food at home. We barely have a home left to live in. My brother and I are happy to see the bus come down the street to pick us up every week, I

As a kid growing up all I wanted to do is to be like my Dad. Whatever it was I had to do it or wear it. One time he bought a bright neon green jumpsuit and just two days later I got the same one. As I got older I began to enjoy watching sports with my Dad. It was amazing because I would jump on his lap and he would explain to me what was going on the TV, if it was football, track, or basketball. My Dad went to Kansas University and he played basketball and ran track there for all four years. Every time Kansas had a basketball game he would deck out in all of his Kansas gear making him look like a freshman going to their first college game. After seeing how excited my dad would get when Kansas played basketball, I began to fall in love with the game of basketball. At that moment when I was five I made the decision that I wanted to play basketball.

It was the month.The month the basketball tryouts came for me.I was ready to play basketball for my school.So I woke up at 5 a.m. and went down stairs to get a smooth,red colored apple to eat while I practiced my basketball outside but, then I noticed that I had to study for my global studies test.So then I quietly walk back in my house.

After he died I went on playing the sport I love football. Everytime I step out onto that field I play 100% knowing he’s watching every step I
