No one is successful in life without opportunity and hard work: ““Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good” (Gladwell 42). The two coincide and are the keys to triumph. Even if a child is blessed to have a father who plays basketball professionally, the child will never succeed without hours of practice. It is those who seize opportunities that
Imagine you were in the NBA and it is the finals and it is the last round of the finals and you were down 15 points and 10 minutes left and all the odds are against you. That is what Shaquille O'Neal does he does the unthinkableand beats the odds. Shaquille O’neal is one of the many great basketball players. He has had so many achievements, a lot in basketball. He is a great player in this project I will talk about his birth, his early life, high school, college , in the NBA, and retirement. This project is going to take him through his life, so here it is.
He was unstoppable, amazing, and crazy talented, but how did he get his amazing talent, let me tell you. Steph was born in Akron,Ohio, but was raised in charlotte,North Carolina where his father Dell Curry played for the Charlotte Hornets.

He's already amongst one of the greatest shooters of all time so what else does he need to do in order to become basketballs GOAT? Steph Curry is the complete player when it comes to being a point guard. He is amazing dribbling, court vision is phenomenal, a floor general, can defend, a smart player, and he can finish at the rim with his famous floater layup. That's without talking about how he has the deadliest jump shot in the history of basketball. All the NBA teams that play the Warriors have it in their pre-game talk to stop Curry from shooting 3s because they know how perfect he is at them, and yet he still goes out onto the court and drains 3 after 3 after 3. He's like the perfect machine. NBA team's in today's game like to play a zone defense and Curry destroys every defense with his 3 point shot.If you give him even the slightest amount of space he will sink those 3 points but if you get too close he will run past you and sink his floater layup or create an assist for himself. When a fan asks "Who are the greatest shooters ever in the NBA?" 2 names almost always come up, Reggie Miller and Ray Allen. Both are amazing players, but we all know that neither one of them reach Steph Curry right now, even when they were in their primes. Reggie Miller and Ray Allen could not be the floor generals for their team even when they were in their prime, they were simply scorers only. Then you think who was the best point guard shooter to play and it has to be Steve Nash. At this moment in time in Stephen Curry's career it’s easy to say that he is the better player of all 3 of the mentioned players in all aspects which are that Steph is a better shooter, dribbler, and

How do you solve a problem like basketball pro Stephen Curry—the guy breaking records for consistently scoring three-pointers? Note that the question here is not how to defend Curry. That’s a problem for other people, and we wish them the best of luck with that! But how do you write about a player with Curry’s peculiar skillset? Badly, for the most part.
