idk i feel like an avg player and i can potentially be really good not NBA but sumwere else overseas..sum1 went up to me and told me i was sick cus all i ever talked about was ball.im that kid that comes outta no were and says "did u see that dunk kobe had last nite" and go on and on about it. I would rather go to the gym and take a million jumpshots then lift on a friday den. go to the movies or parties. basketball consumes me i use to have perfect grades and ever since ive gotten serious with skool and aau. i cant think of anythin else..

Not to the point of preferring it over parties or going to the movies, but it has dearly affected my near perfect grades. Last year I finished 7th grade with Honors, this year I was 4% away from failing History.

well not just basketball, training altogether. Each day it is like 4-5 hours of training and playing basketball.

6-8am basketball skill training at school monday to friday
monday-wednesday: spring league games
tuesday-thursday: night league games
friday, saturday, sunday: shoot around

its a lot more simple in season.

Yeah man. All my time is spent on reflecting on my game of basketball, plotting out a individual schedule and thinking how to become better.

and ı start shooting well again. I see basketball not as a sport ı see it as my best friend

Thing is, I'm not the best. I didn't even make the team this year, and basketball STILL consumes me. Hopefully all the training I'll do in the summer will pay off and I'll be good enough to be able to go back to studying more efficiently, without as much bball practice when school starts again.
