Recommended: The importance of motivation in sport

Mrs. Brock, Mrs. Brock you are and always will be my favorite teacher and coach. When I first started basketball believe it or not I was terribly nervous to have to try out. The first day of tryouts was over and I realized how much fun this journey would be. Your passion and dedication shines and everyone on the team looks up to you. Let me start out by saying I’m going to miss you so so so so so much. You helped me in basketball so much by pushing me to be my best. Although there are sometimes where I didn’t believe in myself you did. Also, thank you for keeping me motivated when I wanted to give up. I will never forget how you can always make anyone smile anytime. I have many memories that I will never ever forget about basketball

  • Michael Jordan Persuasive Essay

    1654 Words  | 4 Pages

    It’s one of the greatest debates right now in modern time sports. Who is the greatest basketball player ever? Is it His Airness, or is it King James? The debate on whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the greatest basketball player ever is a prevalent topic in sports news daily. Many people believe that LeBron James is the greatest basketball player to be currently playing and also the greatest player to ever have played in the NBA. My theory, however, is that rather than LeBron James, the greatest basketball player to ever have played the game is Michael Jordan. Although I agree with the claim that LeBron James is the best current player in the NBA, I believe that he is nowhere near being considered better than Michael Jordan.

    Most players that enter the NBA draft early are 19 or 20 years-old. They are going to end up playing against 25-year-olds that are stronger, faster, and that have had more experience than they have. Along with more experience, they will not be as physically fit because one or two years of college will not do it, and high school will not do it. For example, Lebron James. He is considered one of the best to have played the game, and he went straight out of high school. Imagine if he had gone to college, he would be so much better. So if they leave after the freshman or sophomore year, they will be about five or six years behind and that will make it harder to get a spot on the bench.

Players with ample NBA
