Personal Narrative: Thunder Vs. Warriors
“Ever since I watched Steph Curry’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, I’ve wanted to be at every Warriors game,” I thought to myself while lying in bed. Shortly after that, I fell asleep. I started dreaming about how to build a time machine with a ritual. It started off with me going into a dark and quiet room and closing my mouth. Then I said where I wanted to go and the date of the event three times. Right at that time I woke up. I thought to myself “I got to try that! But I don’t have a dark room.” I looked around and then remembered I had an attic. I climbed up into the attic and turned off all the lights. Then I said the first event that came to my mind three times. Thunder vs Warriors on 2-27-16, Thunder vs Warriors on 2-27-16,Thunder vs Warriors on 2-27-16. …show more content…
I sat there for about a minute and nothing happened. I got up to go turn on the lights. Suddenly, the room room became to shake and spin. My head started spinning rapidly. Then, everything stopped all at once. When my head stopped spinning, I looked up. In big bold letters I saw Chesapeake Energy Arena (Thunders basketball stadium). I looked down at my hands and saw a ticket for tonight's game. I was in awe. The game was about to start so I hurried to my seat. The seat I had was one of the best seats in the stadium (courtside view). I was about to it down but then saw Steph Curry giving out signatures. I eagerly got up to go get a signature. When I was next in line I realized I didn't have anything for him to sign! Luckily I still had my ticket. I was very lucky because the game was about start and I got the last signature. I quickly sat in my seat ready for the game to

    Life is comprised of a series of learning profound learning experiences. On that stands out occurred last year in seventh grade. Two friends and I decided we wanted to try something new, to learn how to play basketball! We made that decision mainly because we wanted to do an activity together for the winter term, and seventh graders didn't have the option of doing the winter school play. We were very hesitant; only one of us had any experience playing basketball, and we didn't think it would be very fun to run up and down a court trying to get a ball in a hoop. Still we kept an open mind and began to learn how to play.…

    On May, 8, 2015 I sat in front of a glowing T.V. watching the Cleveland Cavaliers play Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. The clock was down to three seconds and the Bulls had the ball on the left sideline. The scoreboard read 96-96 as Derrick Rose caught the ball at the top of the key. Derrick released the ball with a flick of his wrist and sent it towards the hoop. The ball rotated backboard was illuminated by a bright cherry colored light as the time expired on the clock. The basketball rotated through the air in a paced that seemed to be slow motion. The ball hit the glass and fell into the net softly. Derrick’s teammates rushed the court to celebrate with an excited look on their face, but Derrick had a look on his face that didn’t show…

    When I first arrived at Rotunda D I thought to myself great I get to stand the whole time because there is not one open seat. Dean Nickels started the event off by introducing Scott Naggy, head boys basketball coach. Naggy then talked a little about how they recruit players for South Dakota State University. He then introduced two of his players. The first was from the West side of Chicago, he talked about how he would play basketball to escape from the hardships of growing up in West Chicago. The second player was from Michigan, he explained how basketball was the main sport played in that area. He explained how the teachers there didn't care how the students do in there class they will just pass them to get rid of them. He…

    I awoke one morning feeling like it would be the greatest day of my life, but little did I know that everything would change within the blink of an eye. It all began when I decided to go to the park to practice some soccer. I thought that I was prepared for everything; however, as soon as I shot my first goal, a helicopter came in from out of nowhere. It appeared that it were going to land right on top of me.…

    The intense roaring of the crowd gradually faded into the vast abyss of his mind. As the last seconds ticked away, his breath got heavier and he knew that it was now or never. He knew he had to make the shot, he could not just mess this one up. At that last moment when the ball left his hands flying into the air, time seemed to have slowed down as the buzzer went off simultaneously.…

    It had been a long and tough game. The sun was beating down on us and we were all tired when all of a sudden the game’s time limit ran out. We were all tense because no one knew the score. The ref said that the game was tied. We all exhaled. We hadn't even realized we were holding our breaths. That meant we all had to do PKs (Penalty kicks) until one team won.…

    “What are you guys doing here?” I asked them and they just stared at KD and me. The stares started to get awkward and we were just standing there so KD passed the ball and told them to check it up. I was guarding Trey burke, point guard for the Utah Jazz and a former Michigan Wolverine so you already know I had to ball up on a fellow Michigan fan. I started off guarding him, but it was so hard! As soon as he got passed the ball he drove to the basket pushing me out of the way with ease and scored an easy bucket. “Can I get a foul?” I asked in disbelieve. They just rechecked the ball and we played on. The next play KD was defending Exum and got a steal off a pass that he tried to throw to Trey, he sprinted to the rim and drew both of them in so he kicked it out to me and I was wide open for a jump shot, I pulled up and knocked it down from downtown! The score was 3-2 with KD and I in the lead, I checked the ball and called for a screen, KD came up and set a nice screen that got my defender completely stuck, I took the opportunity and drove in for quick layup. The score was 5-2 with us in the lead still. After a few plays the score was 8-8, a tie game, I checked the ball and dribbled to the corner, "Screen, screen!" I yelled as KD came up for one, I went the other way tricking Trey and I headed for the basket but Exum wasn't having it this…

    Throughout my childhood I would avoid books as much as possible simply because I never enjoyed reading like others did. When I did read, it would be because I discovered a really good series. Other than that I wouldn’t read because I never grew up with being read to, so I didn’t find it enjoyable.…

    On January 26th, I made a huge error in my basketball game against West Central. To anybody else, that game might have seemed unimportant- insignificant really. They were not a conference rival or a sectional team. To me however, this game was very significant because I used to attend that school. At that game, I played all of my friends from kindergarten to fifth grade. I hoped that I didn’t make a fool of myself. I hoped to do amazing so that all of my old friends would see what a great basketball player I had become. I hoped that I would make a play so amazing that everyone would remember it. While I would certainly not forget the play I made, it was not the spectacular one I had dreamed. My gym teacher- Mr. Prairie asked the class, “Who’s ready for the basketball game tonight against West Central,” and I wondered if I was. Because of my insistent worrying I could not manage to make a play through all of gym class (we were playing basketball)…

    For as long as I remember, I have been raised with a basketball hoop. This hoop stood firmly, looking down at the trees secured by patches of cement in my backyard, in my neighborhood, Dorchester. This hoop was my center of faith and tranquility surrounded by gunfires, shattering windows, car alarms. As a girl, I learned not to adventure any place else other than this hoop because going beyond its faded lines on the concrete is an unknown world full of hazards and danger. And when I did cross these seraphic lines, I could sense the bittersweet emotions running throughout the neighborhood, my home.…

    My heart won’t stop racing, I don’t know why and, My eyesight starting to fade away slowly like I had glaucoma. All the surrounding noise around me by the crowd had me going deaf, then I started to sweat from all the pressure around me like a morning workout. I was zoning out of nowhere, and then I started to realize I was nervous as heck. The crowd started to go wild when the announcers started to announce the starting five for each team. That’s the pressure I get every game I played that year of my freshmen year in my high school basketball games. I loved playing freshman basketball because the road trips we went to together. the thrill you get out of the games we played and lastly the team was like a family to me.…

    When I was young my dad and I played Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam. The television we played on was horrible. It was one of those 1970's pop out power button the only twelve channel kind. The picture was far from sharp, but it got the job done. My Dad and I had to use a special adapter that plugged into the co- axle on the television. The TV my dad and I played on and the difficulty at which it was to set up just adds to why these games have memorable qualities for me. My father and I would play Mortal Kombat which is a game with blood and gore and finishing moves called fatalities. “Finish him” signaled the end of a round where my father would initiate a fatality. A fatality involves insane things like ripping someone's head from there neck with…
