The Next Larry Bird

by Douglas Thomas
(Crisfield, Maryland, U.S.A.)

Hello. My name is Josh Thomas. I live in U.S. I'm from Crisfield, Maryland 21817.

I just turned 19 on January 4th. I was born 1990 and I am a current freshman at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

I do not play for the team because i missed try outs. I will try out next year. I have been playing ball for 12 years. I am a shooting guard and I have a really nice 3 point shot.

I played all four years for my high school and in tenth grade i was on jv and won the mvp and averaged 25 ppg. I am 6'2 and weigh 180 lbs. I am pretty quick for my height and have some handling skills.

I have great court vision and know how to move well without the ball. I am unselfish but i don't fold under pressure. My defense is pretty solid also.

People around town know me well, but I am often called J J Reddick and Larry Bird when I am playing ball. I can contend with the college players. I have attended Keystone state basketball camp 3 years straight and was nominated for most improved player.

I don't have an attitude but I do stay focused on winning. I held the Crisfield record for 3 pointers in a game which was 9 including 4 in the third quarter.

I can drive pretty well also but my strong points are shooting outside and defense. I want to travel across seas and play ball because there are so many more opportunities available.

I'll do whatever it takes and I know i have what it takes to make a name for myself and play ball with the big boys. I can be a true asset and bring a positive attitude to any team I play for.
