My first step

My first step on the court was when I was a little toddler! My brother took me out to Sunset park near main and 50th. While I was enjoying the playground I watched my brother practice his basketball moves. It was the first time I had seen how the game was played. I slid down from the slides and headed over to my big brother watching him from behind the hoop. He was crazy about the game he had so many basketball shoes and posters of Jordan and Pippen! It was the first time I stepped onto a court with a ball in my hands. I was so weak I don't even think the ball reached over my brother's height! So, I ended up being my brother's dummy...I tried chasing him, grabbing him, but he was too fast for be obviously -_-. As I grew older and older I tried giving myself as much time to be able to play on the court. Me and my brother have gone through many basketball scrimmages against other people who enjoy the game. We try to play like Jordan and Pippen, fast and smooth. Every time I step out on a court, I try to improve my level to the highest it can be. Watching highlights from the NBA always give me the urge to go out and play. Jordan, Iverson, James, Kobe, Wade, Pierce, and all the other great ball players give it their all every single game no matter if it's the playoffs or not. That's how I try to think every game, practice, or a scrimmage.
