He drives into the lane… step back move… and a SHOOTS FOR THE WIN. Welcome back forum, tonight I was at a loss for a topic to blog about and found myself on NBA.com watching highlights from a recent New Orleans Hornets game when I realized that my topic was staring me right in the face. I love sports from cricket to football. Although my favorite sport is basketball I’m a football player at the core. The thing about sports is when played competitively it will bring about both the best and worst in people, but when they’re played as for fun they become a source for activity.
I am incapable of playing a sport just for fun, I have got to win. If I don’t win I try to think about what I could have done better so that next time it doesn’t happen again. I play football for my school Fletcher’s Meadow Arrows, and when I’m in practice and I miss a tackle I slam my head and think about how next time I can tear the guy apart. Sometimes my competiveness overcomes me and I become a very horrible person, for example this summer while playing basketball with some of my close friends I aggressively grabbed a rebound causing my friend to fall, my actions eventually went on to a conflict where we were on the verge of exchanging blows. If I don’t win I will do anything I can to win. But thankfully I’m not usually a sore loser, if I lose a game my disappointment will quickly transfer into optimism. Some of my idols in sports are LeBron James, and Michael Jordan. I appreciate each of these athletes for different of reasons. LeBron James, although widely disliked now for his actions over the summer is one of my favorite athletes because he’s just a perfect example of how talent mixed with hard work can pay off. Michael Jordan’s is not only renowned for his athleticism but also for his mentality towards the game: He played an NBA finals game with a severe flu, the Utah Jazz gave him no room to breath but through his will alone MJ propelled his team to victory.
