Marcus creeps up, slowly dribbling the ball looking at me like I’m his prey. He shoots.
“Pong!” I spiked the ball right into our house. The ball crashed against the side of our brick house. I am so glad I missed the window this time.
“Yea baby, I’m on fire today! WOOOO!” I said, holding my right fist up in the air.
“You're so cocky Julius,” Marcus said, rolling his eyes with an annoyed look on his face.
“I’m just trying to get fired up for the game tonight against Duke.” Grayson Allen is the number one ranked player in the country. I am the number two ranked player and I play for Oregon.
“Next point wins Juls.” Marcus says while passing me the ball.
“Swish,” went the ball.

And I heard that the GM’s from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, and the Phoenix Suns. Good luck Julius Bell-Adrien and Grayson Allen” Lebron posted.
“Marcus, this could be my shot to get into the NBA. If I have a great game I could have a chance to play in the NBA!”
“No way Juls that’s awesome if you, if you meet Lebron can you introduce him to me?” Marcus said with a smile from ear to ear.
“Sure bud”.
“Tweet, tweet tweet, tweet tweet” my Twitter was blowing up with posts. I scroll down and see these hateful comments, “The only reasons the GM’s are going to your game is to see Grayson play, You have no shot.”
“ Wait till you play Grayson Allen he’s real competition.”

He kept hearing a thumping sound outside. He went outside to find a small, young Isaiah shooting basketball alone. He told him he was friends with his younger brother, Curtis, so Jason went back inside. ““Then it’s like 10 p.m., and I hear it again,” Terry recalled, his voice rising. “I go back out, and Isaiah is still out there shooting all by himself”” (Rudick).

By the ninth-grade, he realized he was not going to grow anymore, so he decided he wanted to be the best under-six-foot player there ever was.
“If we are shooting the ball well, we can beat anybody. The playoffs are fun and the kids are excited.”
