What is your favorite NBA team? Why?
|
Orlando Magic - I have no good reason to like the Orlando Magic I have always like them. I like a couple of other great basketball players on the team. I am not a Dwight Howard band-wagoner. I just like their team. |
Who is your favorite NBA player? Why? |
Dwight Howard - I just love how great of a defensive player he is he plays so aggressive and is a great role model in basketball. I also like the way he can kiss the rim then dunk it. He also put a superman cape on and dunked it from just about the free throw line. |
What has been your greatest moment in basketball? |
When I come from behind I do a clean powerful swat someone. I also liked it when I stuffed my Dad when he was shooting a three pointer. |
What has been your most embarrassing moment in basketball? |
I shot the the tieing free throw and they inbounded the ball and I stole it. I drove in for the easy left-handed lay-up and I missed the layup. We still won 23 -21, but I was so embarrased for missing the easy layup to give us the lead. |
Do you plan on playing high school ball? College? NBA? Church ball? |
yes I want to play all of the above I want to play high school, college, and NBA because i just love the sport and it is so much fun. I would love to play church ball when I get old like my Dad. |

We’re by two points three seconds to go the other team goes for the three to win and I do a powerful swat on them. |
