Legends
PROMPT- Do you defend or challenge this statement: “When legends die, dreams end. When dreams end, there is no more greatness.”? Use evidence from history, your readings, etc.
I am inspired by the sound of a dribbling basketball, by the sound of squeaking shoes, and by the sound of a basketball swishing through a hoop. I can still remember the time when The Celtics almost beat the Lakers in the NBA Championships. I was ten years old, in Tennessee, watching the All-Star game with my relatives. We all sat on the couch, eating and watching the game. I remember the time KG did a slam dunk on Kobe Bryant; the crowd went wild. My relatives were rooting for the Lakers while I was the only one rooting for The Celtics. My feelings for the Legendary Celtics are clear but some believe “When legends die, dreams end. When dreams die, there is no greatness.” I strongly disagree with this statement because of my strong feelings for The Celtics, because of what George Washington did for our country, and because of the wisdom my grandfather gave me.
The first reason why I disagree with the quote is because The Celtics are a strong team that took control of their destiny. The Celtics were willing to try as hard as they could to attain their goal of winning the All-Star game. For example, every time KG left the court when his team was losing, he said something encouraging to his teammates in the finals. Because he would not allow the team’s dream to die, he was took control of the team’s future. In addition, during the pre-game interviews, the rookie, Rajon Rondo said that his team would win the All-Star game. He scored 50 points for his team in the finals, proving that when one believes and acts, they could accomplish what they set their minds to. Because The Celtics displayed a tremendous amount of fortitude, they believed in themselves and never gave up. The Celtics will always be a legendary team.
Additionally, George Washington was a tenacious man. He never gave up
