“The Big Dipper” scored his 80th point with 7:51 left on the clock. The crowd went crazy because he has already broken his old points record of seventy-eight.

My schedule consisted of waking up early every day and taking a 1.5 mile run, followed by taking 500 jump shots, a similar exercise Kobe performed during his high school career. Conquering the fear of failure became an imaginary bond between Kobe and I. I knew that working hard all summer honed my physical and mental edge on the court. When tryouts came around, the odds were against me, as the team roster had been established, but I did my best Kobe impersonation and played harder than anyone else on the court. I made the team because just like Kobe, I wasn’t going to fail. This experience taught me to have fortitude, and to always strive for my dreams.
The clock was winding down and the game was all in my hands. I dribble to the basket and I am wide open. I shoot and nothing but net, I made the shot. Little to my knowledge I found out I shot at the wrong basket and put the other team up by two with one second left. The game was all over and I just gave the other team the winning basket.
We were the underdogs in this game. They were the best team in the county at the time, because they had a running back that nobody can hit, and they thought they could just run all over us. All that week during practice we were plotting to stop them. This game was an away game so after school that Wednesday we went to the locker room and I got prepared for the game, then we got all our stuff together and headed to the bus. On our way to the Henry County stadium, I was getting focused on the biggest game of my life.
His grades fell and then fell again. Most of his grades were ok but his English grade stayed bad. He started wrestling in 11th grade after finally telling himself that it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks. He was beginning to realize how strong he was and came up with the game plan “if they not stronger then I am then they can’s slam me or get me in an uncomfortable position”. He would go into every match determined not to lose and would come out victor.

It was only two hours after my summer basketball team played in a national qualifier for the Amateur Athletic Union. My shot was off and I needed more practice, so I went to the park to play and practice. I spotted my cocky and jealous friend with another team on the pick-up court, and I was determined to put him in his place. After a little while of playing, he had the ball at the top of the key and tried to cross me over. I tapped the ball in to the backcourt and raced down to the other basket, trying to beat the older guy who was late getting back on the previous play.
