Why I want to play basketball

by Desmond King
(leesburg,va united states)

My name is Desmond M King and my passion for basketball is out of this world. All want to do is play basketball not for the money but because this is the sport i want to do with my life. I am a young parent who wants to make my dream come true by playing basketball. I would like to take my family somewhere new and they can watch me play ball. I never got my shot in high school and i think this is a good chance that going overseas will full fill my dreams i'm 6'1 and 175 pounds. Thank you.

I've seen a lot of people give a lot of very inspiring speeches attempting to motivate people, but for this situation I'm going to say that actions speak louder than words. Become a very consistent well rounded player through hard work. Then Check out Australia's NBL / Europe league.

Desmond, follow your dream. Never, ever give up on your dreams. Remember, exposure is the key. Practice and get in shape. You never who may be looking at you.

You may want to get into a Community College and try out for the team. With hardwork, (it seems you already have determination)you'll make it.

I received a scholorship to a Div. 2 school after high school but I didn't fair well at the school. I'm now in a Div.3. I tore my ACL in my Junior year,high school. I was nominated for the McDonald All-American Team in my Sr. year. My Jersey was retired from High School. I have numerous awards and trophies. I thought I would have been drafted by now, but not YET!....LOL.... I'm telling you all this to say, it is not enough to just want to play Basketball you have to apply your self and work really, really hard. Women's Basketball is different from boys as well.
Good luck!
