Trigger

The pounding of metal getting pounded shoes unloading a powerful force on  the bleachers, like a squadron from the army. The hot sun reflecting off the metal benches, gave the feeling like I am I in an oven. Making it to the top gave you the swag that you just climbed mount Everest. Then the second pause you took your teammate catches up and gives you a friendly nudge saying "come on man keep moving before coach see, I don't want to be doing any more of this shit" simultaneously I made a hard left towards the opposite side of the rails seeing my fellow teammates heading up as I started to head down. Some looked ready to fall on the ground others just keep forcing there body to keep lifting each foot to the next step.Comes to my head every time I play basketball; doesn't matter if its pickup or organized the hard work that left me unable to walk up the staircase to class the next day. When I feel tired on the court I tell my mind toughen the FUCK UP! The level I was pushed too, with dehydration ready to kick in anytime of practice. I knew I have been through worst my body was capable of getting through this game the next one and so forth, my friends laying down after each game resting chugging there bottles of water of Gatorade. I stood tall wouldn't touch any water till I won and deserved that water. Sometimes I had black flashes I just shut my eyes for a second and forced me through them. I wasn't ready to reach my limit, my mind was giving up, my body was too. Something in side me kept me moving like a robot. Up the court and back down; I wasn't just running aimlessly I kept up the hustle dived for ball kept my hands up trying to tip a pass. Sometimes I enter this "zone" where I lose feeling in my legs, I could just keep running and nothing slowing me down my fatigue disappeared. It was very similar to blacking out after having to much to drink, I knew I was at this state but if you asked me the next day what I did I couldn't tell you a damn thing.

Laker or Celtic?

Wow what a start up! I feel like I am at the football practice, I may have never played high school football, but just reading the first page I have the image and thoughts like I was actually there. I played basketball in high school and I can relate to the start of the second page lung on fire cotton mouth. What a vivid picture the pale girl who just made love. The descriptiveness is great examples of what needs to be put in my paper.

I wish I could of seen the golden age of basketball with Worthy Magic Jordan even Shaq in the prime, that would of been something, My dad tells me he took me to a Heat vs. Bulls game of course it was after the come around of baseball lockout I believe in 1998 or so I was probably around 5. So I don't remember a thing.
What I don't like how the two sides Lakers and Celtics refers to democrats and republicans it is a game I don't want to hear anything about politics. Yet what scares me is people do think the way of the ten questions.
Then again I wasn't there if race was really looked at as Lakers vs Celtics wow. The culture really is so different each there own way of style which creates different attitudes. The article is written in a bias manner when I read it I see the idea that Lakers are young and fun and Celtics are old and boring.

I hope the elephant stomps Saban

Dear Saban
Unfortunately I have to with drawl back on this post, due to the fact I am blogging for my college English class and he is also a die hard Bama fan. I bet right now you feel great top of the world 2 National Championships in three years and your team is ranked no. 1 once again. But I wont let you think all is well, See I am a Miami Dolphin Fan and I am sure that is not heard of very much thanks to you. Look at what you left them with, do you see what the players you passed on and who you took. Have some balls you sack Drew Brees Drew Brees!! Im done I don't want to say anymore!

Fuck Off, Alex

Life without sports

Can you imagine what life would be like without sport? How would a male keep up a conversation with a man that he just met? What would we talk about sewing? Women weren't that big of sports as they have become, maybe we should as them for some advice of what we could talk about. At rush week talking to members of the Fraternity we go the usually intro hey how are you etc. then we asked where we are from and major. But after that sports played a pivotal role in the conversation, sure I mean we could talk politics and how the weather is but what enjoyment is that. Thank all the blessed humans that can preform that art so well.

Articles

3 on 5 what a way to to introduced into the world of sports, just reading that article I will remember that event for a life time. The Poem explains so much in such simple short amount of a Friday night high school football game with the parents watching.
These memories are embedded in their minds for a lifetime, just as the first sporting event is in mine. The nostalgia is so vital to these pieces recalling the detail of the basketball game to such detail even though it was so long ago.
I cant believe that the basketball story is not even heard of, It is understandable with the place and time of the event and who was playing but after what happen and winning the next game too I fell like they should of got more credit then they did.
Sports can be brought to whole different limits, you could look at that article as even though it looked impossible from the start and when it was unfathomable to think when they lost there best player and then another. Life goes the same way it looks impossible and it cant even be done not a chance but you have the spirit and the heart to make it happen and it will. Its called an upset for a reason right?
