I am choosing to do my topic on streetball and how it is played and the way it is. I became interested in this topic because I play basketball so it's cool to learn about another form of it. The personal commection that helped me pick this topic is basketball. A situation that led me to this topic was playing basketball both on a team inside and with friends outside. Streetball is a form of basketball that isn't as serious as basketball. There are less fouls called and the players are much more flamboyant. They do moves and tricks that NBA players would never dream of doing. The street ball league is much bigger than the NBA but the players aren't as talented in the catagories needed in the NBA. Pretty much anybody can play streetball.

This artice talks about how Vietnam won't stamp the new Chinese passports. The say the maps are wrong so they refuse to stamp them. It has to do with the argument over islands in the South China Sea. China says that the islands belong to them but Vietnam does not agree. This argument has been going on a long time between these two countries.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/basketball/20142109 This article is about a young basketball player from Great Britain. He was drafted to the NBA in 2006 but he couldn't go right away due to contract issues. He will be making his first appearance in the NBA tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. He feels honored to even be on the same court as famous players such as, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and Pau Gasol. He is the highest draft pick to ever come out of Great Britain. Many players come from overseas however. The European league is the second biggest league in the world behind the NBA. Sometimes undrafted players from colleges in America will go overseas to have a career. If you are not drafted you have three choices to make: Go to the NBA D-League, go overseas, or give up on the game. Most players will decide to go overseas because it pays much more than the D-League. (The average D-League players make around $30,000 dollars a year) The reason some players choose the D-League is because it is much easier to get to the NBA through the D-League than to go overseas. This was not the case however for Freeland, it was much easier to play overseas than to join the D-league.

I agree that life is more than just high school. If you get a bad grade you just need to get over it because it's not the end of the world. I learn a lot more outside of school than i do in school. Having fun and friends matters because if you're bored in school you will have trouble learning. Even though Morgan isn't a top notch private school, we have the same chance to succed as kids at those schools.
