Michael Barbuto College Writing October 2, 2013 Professor Eaton Descriptive Essay Last year playing high school football was probably one of the most entertaining and exciting things I have ever done in my entire life. The reasoning behind this is that we had an outstanding team which sent eighteen kids off to play college football. Therefore, eighteen out of twenty one people were sent off to play college football, which is pretty good in my eyes. When experiencing high school football, it is all about brotherhood and family throughout the whole entire team. This year playing football for Springfield is not the same as last year in high school because I’m not as close with the people on my college team.
My first experience playing organized basketball began when I was in the fifth grade on an after school program in the old armory. We played every Saturday morning and I remember that this is where I became the best point guard ever. At least that was the mentality I had because I thought I knew where my basketball career was headed. Little did I know at that time, the odds of me becoming a professional NBA star were not in my favor. 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.
I am a Lakers fan; it was a championship game between Lakers (Kobe Bryant) and Miami (Lebron James) on 31 Jan 2011. When I got to the place, the parking lot was full because the lot was small and there are five to six thousand people at the arena, and the location of the court was small it could only accommodate certain number of people so its “first come first serve”.

I lost everything in my house including my ticket to a basketball game.
Compare and Contrast Essay LeBron vs. Jordan “There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.” This quote, said by Michael Jordan, sums up a big part of the argument of who is the better basketball player, Michael Jordan or LeBron James. This argument is a very heated topic throughout the basketball world, so I have decided to address it by comparing and contrasting their careers and statistics.

Monday, July 5, 2010 Football and Me Essay Essay on Footbal As I could remember football has been a major part of me all of my life, Even though I have not played the sport my whole life. Pressure has been put on me to play football since the day I was born because my father was a very good football player that did not make. So I guess it was my job to pick up where he left off. Stories were often told to me about his playing days and shortly after someone would pop the big question; “Do you play ball”, or “Are you going to play ball”?
What I didn’t know was that the fact of how difficult it was going to be to overcome the feeling of being lonely, since he left me and my family.

He was the first person who introduced us how to ride a bike, how to play chess, how to play basketball. He even got me my very own basketball hoop in my backyard for my birthday, but unfortunately as time flew by life took all this from us.

Just recently, a question crossed my mind after I had watched my brothers do this routine for so long now. Why don’t these football players get paid? I wear jerseys with their names on the back, I buy tickets to their games, I watch them play on television all the time, and my brothers are constantly playing video games with the players image in it. But somehow, the only compensation they get is there scholarship. The football players don’t get any of the extra money that they are bringing in for the National Collegiate Athletic Association or for their schools.
