Jeremy Lin: The National Basketball Association Player
People might admire someone in their childhood or during their life. Such as their parents, movie star, singer or athlete. For me, the National basketball Association player
"Jeremy Lin" is the person who I respect. Why do I esteem Jeremy Lin, yet I don’t admire the other world famous players like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant or Kevin Durant? There are two reasons why Jeremy is the athlete I respect the most. First, I admire him because of his excellence under pressure. I have been an enthusiastic basketball fan since I was 8 years old. It is difficult to be a player in the NBA, especially for the Asians. Jeremy is an Asian-American athlete and it is rare in the United State. Sometimes many people might

    Lebron James Character Analysis

    On March 10th 2017, Lavar Ball, father of Lamelo, Liangelo and Lonzo, made a comment on In the Zone with Chris Boussard that intrigued and shocked the sports world. Lavar Ball compared Lebron James’ sons to all of the other children of famous basketball stars; irrelevant, and stuck in their father’s glory. Regardless of their ages, Lavar felt it was necessary to bring Lebron James’ eleven and thirteen-year-old sons into the equation. Many sports analysts are having a difficult time figuring out why Lavar brought all this attention to himself. A father and manager who has done nothing but positively influence his sons’ career, is now negatively impacting it. Analysts question whether his most famous and eldest son, Lonzo, will have a difficult…

    Lebron James

    He is an amazing player and that cannot be denied. Lebron didn’t even play in the NCAA, he jumped straight from high school into the NBA draft in 2003 which is pretty damn impressive. There is no doubt that Lebron is a great basketball player. He severely helped the Cavaliers while playing for them and his stats are up there with some of the biggest NBA names out there. His nickname “The King” is easily lived up to by James while sitting at the top with Robertson, Jordan and Bird in the history books for the NBA. He did make the Cavaliers work and help their franchise out a ton, so I guess the same could be true with the Miami Heat (Measurement). The week Lebron was to decide his signing Jill Seward from NESN said “The world’s most-talked about basketball player will sit down in an ESPN special titled "The Decision" in Greenwich, Conn., at 9 p.m. ET, and millions will be watching.” (Seward). Millions of people sat down…

    Personal Narrative: My Letter To Lebron James

    Growing up with a dad who was All-State for Basketball, and a Grandfather who played Division I basketball; I was always expected to be good at ball. I was always decent but never quite lived to expectations. When I turned 12 years old, I was diagnosed with Type 3 scoliosis, which limited not only my quickness but my ability to twist and run normally. The basketball dynasty was coming to an end as I had lost a lot of athleticism. I was always on the middle team, not very good, not very bad, but I always tried new moves; which made me hard to guard. I finally quit all sports because my back couldn’t handle the stress, and I wasn’t prepared to go into surgery. One day as I was watching…
