Flick often sit and think about high school and how good of a player he was but the reader never tells you how good he was in school or how his grades were.

Poor John has never met his dad. His mom sometimes calls him “the fling”. I feel really bad for john because there’s nothing more that he wants then to meet his father. John would always vent to me how he wishes his mother would just tell him who his father is. He also felt as if his father was hiding from him but I’d often tell John “your dad can hide from you, but he can’t hide from God.” I felt bad for john at times, but he didn’t have to live as a dwarf his whole life.
No one else could lead one team to six championships in one decade, and would have come out of retirement twice to come back to the game of basketball. That shows true love for the sport and the continuous stride to always get better as Michaels parents taught him. Michael was one of a kind person, and no matter how many people wanted to be like him no one could. He is one of a kind; he is the one and only Michael
I was unable to describe to Mary that her father will no longer into the room and pick her up or even tell her stories at bedtime. I also urged her brother, Edward Jr. to not try to mention it to her, but support and take care of her as best as he can. Mary was growing up and meanwhile this whole time I was telling her stories of her father and everything that happened between him and me inclusive the part with Bertha and how she burned the house down. Edward Jr. looks a younger version of his father, finally happy and married to a wonderful wife who is expecting her first son within this year. Mary enjoys going out with her friends to parties and even brings my cousin’s daughters with her.
On some days, we would miss practices and then showed up for basketball meets. Therefore, our coach was fed up and decided not to enter us in the middle school county championship. I was pissed at Coach Ross at the time, but when I think about it now, he made the right decision to not enter us. That is when I learned that if you going to play sports, you must have commitment. You must be focused on your goals instead of other things that don’t concern your sweat and hard
Nobody in the family had talked to Royal in decades until he found that Etheline was considering marrying another man in which case he told her that he was dying in order to try to get back in the family but truthfully trying to stop the marriage. In the film the parents have very unique parenting styles as well as many forms of symbolism which I will be discussing a few of these. Royal and Etheline had very different teaching styles which took two different extremes. Royal had almost completely deserted the children and had almost no involvement in their lives. That is except for Richie who had become a professional tennis player very young.
Dwayne Wade is my definition of a hero. You may know him from when he drives to the basket or pulls up a last second buzzer beater, but he’s a lot more than a basketball star. He’s a role model. Growing up, Dwayne had to deal with divorced parents. He lived with his mother until he was eight and then moved in with his dad.
Eric is the new kid in his Long Island town. After living in Ohio for all of his life his mother decided that him and his brother will go live in Long Island B/c of family issues. Eric's father had a “mental” problem, as his mom stated, and couldn't control him self from yelling and beating on his mother. After months and months Eric's mother decided that it would be best if they move away for awhile and get a fresh new start at a new life. Eric was playing basketball when he meets Griffin and his posse of hangers-on right before school begins he can tell they are a little different.
When he was just an infant, his father was out searching for food to keep his family nurtured, and he never returned to his home. Tyson’s mother seems to think that he was run over by buffalo, but no one knows for sure. It is bad enough that Tyson is an only child, but he has practically lived his life without a father figure. Ever since Tyson has been old enough to fend for his mother and himself, he has taken responsibility as the “man of the family”. He cries himself to sleep each and every night because he has no one to look up to in his life.
