One situation in which I overcame adversity is making b-team basketball for White Knoll High School. Basketball has always been a love of mine. I first fell in love with basketball when I went to an Atlanta Hawks game with my dad when I was 5.

NCAA Basketball: More Passion is Better Entertainment Devon Grandberry The game of basketball is full of excitement and wonder. Anything can happen at any given moment. Players get hit with deadly crossovers, a game winner sinks into the basket, or someone dunks the ball with all the force they have. That is what any type of basketball game gives you. The NBA is one of the best basketball leagues in the world. These players play for one of 30 teams. They all play with a goal, to win the NBA championship

One big trade that really helped the Memphis Grizzlies was when the acquired Pau Gasol’s draft rights from the Atlanta Hawks. Gasol went on to play six and a half season with the Grizzlies, scoring over 17 points per game in each season. He also made the All-Star team, and led Memphis to a pair of playoff berths. Many teams look for these types of draft-day trades to

1. DeMarcus Cousins- Sacramento Kings DeMarcus Cousins has been the league’s best center for the past few seasons. Night in and night out, Cousins produces at an All-Star caliber level. Unfortunately he hasn’t been recognized for immense talent due to the ineptitude of the franchise he plays for (yeah, I’m looking at you Sacramento). Last season was Cousins’ best, he finished the year with per game averages of 26.9 points (4th in the league), 11.5 rebounds (5th in the league), and 1.4 blocks. He

Most people can’t get that amount of money in their lifetime. In my opinion athlete’s salaries are way too high for what they’re doing
