Nevertheless, I continued on with my dad’s support and mentoring to be the best player the Arkansas River Valley had ever laid eyes on. Now that I had my goal of becoming an NBA player in front of me, I wanted to know how to get there. I began by asking my dad questions about salary, work environment, would it be easy to grow as player and what type of education I would need. NBA Salary Expectations As I continued throughout junior high and High school, my attention was quickly drawn to the amount of money that professional players made for playing a sport they love. Salary expectations for this profession exceeded my wildest dreams and I couldn’t even begin to imagine what I could do if I made that kind of money.
Sherman Alexie has brought himself into his writing by including some of his personal experience in this young adult novel. In the novel, a underlining plot in the story is Junior’s run through his freshman basketball season on the Varsity team at Reardan High School.

Ryan Peete English 1A Ramos 1/16/13 Minorities Trials And Triumphs Based on the true story of Coach Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) and high school basketball team the Richmond Oilers, Coach Carter helps out a discouraged coach as he takes on the job as the new head coach; However, he slowly begins to apply his hard and rigorous workout routine to show the young athletes how to stretch not only the body but the mind as well. When the team and the parents cause animosity about how grades aren’t more important than basketball, Carter locks down the gym and ultimately canceling practice and games in an attempt to make the Oilers winners on and off the court and strive for a future. In the film Coach Carter, Carter although insensitive to the n-word, strives to teach young minority student athletes to respect each other, gain an education and lose their stereotypical thug personas. In the film Coach Carter the n-word is used very loosely and asserted throughout the movie by the diverse group of athletes to identify each other as brothers are friends, not knowing they are being bias, not only to themselves but to others around them as well. Timo Cruz one of the primary actors in this film has shown himself to be a lost street thug who has no aspirations in life but to play basketball and sell drugs.
Of course it is a risk coming back to college and not going pro; one might get hurt so badly that they cannot even play the sport anymore. But what is worse: getting hurt in college and still being able to have that degree to get a good job, or getting hurt in the first years of pro and not have a degree to fall back on. This kind of thing does happen every day but it does happen. For example, three years back in the NBA draft there was a guy named Gregg Odem that left college as a freshman and was selected first over all in the draft. Gregg is in his third year in the NBA and still has not played a full season; He has been hurt every year.
Ellis’s team would often face intolerance and prejudice, for example after warm ups, they would come back to find their stuff moved into a corner, and one time a parent from another team said to Ellis, “you have basketball, track, football, boxing, and now you want swimming!” Despite discrimination Jim Ellis’s team has sent at least one swimmer every year to the Olympic trials and has been nationally recognized by the release of the movie Pride, based on Jim Ellis’s team and how they overcame prejudice and discrimination. Most Americans believe that since the abolishment of slavery and the passage of Civil Rights legislation, that racism, prejudice, and stereotyping is no longer an issue. Despite modern advancements, and using Jim Ellis’s story as an example it is evident that racism, prejudice, and stereotyping are still prevalent in today’s society. That’s why stereotyping is a problem and must be reduced. When we discriminate against others and put them down just because we were using are cognitive and not getting to know people for who they are is when there is a problem.
Some teams will meet at a player’s house and spend time bonding together as a team. This initially helps the team prepare for the game tomorrow. I believe this is the biggest ritual that they do the day before the game. This brings the team together before the game so they act like a team. From my own experience, I played volleyball my freshman year and we lost almost every game because we didn’t play like a team.
