The Good Samaritan sports award. Given to one athlete that dominates during play‚ and gives back on the street. It is sometimes considered the greatest honor in sports. I believe that Stephen Curry should win the Good Samaritan sports award‚ not Zach Randolph. Stephen Curry is coming off multiple record-breaking seasons with the Golden State Warriors‚ and he teamed up with Nothing but Nets to help fight malaria in a Tanzania‚ a country in eastern Africa. One reason Stephen Curry should win the Good

I’m a highschool student in Kansas City and I’ve been wanting to let some thoughts out of my head about this playoff run‚ so I figured I could share them with you guys instead of some Chiefs fans that really couldn’t care less. Growing up in Steubenville‚ Ohio‚ we lived much closer to Pittsburgh than Cleveland‚ and the majority of my family was from Western PA. This meant I grew up as a Pittsburgh sports fan. Some of

In my sophomore year of high school I was faced with adversity on the basketball team. The coaches showed a lot of favoritism and I was not one of their players they favored.

They expected me to not perform well and wanted to punish me and take playing time away‚ but instead I worked hard and performed well enough that they could not afford to keep me on the sidelines

In the story‚ Holden does not apply himself to his education at Pencey Prep
