Today i'm going to to talk about one if my favorite movies which is called thunderstruck. I really like this movie because it is really funny and its about basketball. Even though it has a bad rating but if  you watch it it will be really good.

The movie is about a kid called Brian Newall, he is not good at basketball and he was always insulted  at school because he sucked at basketball. He was also called air time and got insulted until one day he went to an OKC  Thunders game with his dad. It was halftime show and the lucky guy gets a chance to shoot a half court shot and get a prize. Brian was the lucky viewer and he shot a terrible half court shot and hit the Thunders mascot.

On the way back he met with Kevin Durant and talked to him. Suddenly their talents switched and Brian got really good and Kevin Durant played horrible. Brian was cheered on at school and became the school's basketball team "go to guy" because of his skills. His coach suddenly respected him and he go a new girlfriend. One day Kevin Durant visited his school because his agent told him that his talents was switched with Brian and spend time with the school.

Then after a few months Brian figured it out and switched his talents back to Durant. Brian won his schools basketball team championship with a game winning shot.

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

This quote really inspired me because this is the way we should play the game the more you fail the more you achieve. I've known his quote since I was 6 and It really inspired me to do more and not be afraid to fail. 

" Good,better,best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is best"
 - Tim Duncan

I really love this quote it tells us to practice and work hard for everything. It tells us to not be good, not be great but to be the best every time.

"Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you can do for your teammates."
-Magic Johnson

This quote is all about teamwork and I think that teamwork is the most important thing in basketball. Magic Johnson showed that by passing and showing amazing team play. He inspired the world to help your teammates and not be sell fish with the ball.

In Friday I read a book about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. The 2 greatest players in the world. I read about how they started their rivalry at college and became best of friends when they retired. The point of the book was the greatest rivalry in NBA history, which began in college. Larry and Magic were competing for the NCAA championship, Michigan state which was Magic's team won the championship in finals against Larry bird which made their rivalry carry on to the NBA.

Magic was drafted the number 1 pick by the Los Angeles Lakers and on his rookie year Magic helped Lakers to win an NBA championship. While Bird was busy with the Celtics he always checks on Magic's stats sheet and same with Johnson. But after a while bird thought to himself, Magic already has 4 titles and he didnt have any and said "I've got to get one of those".

Bird quickly carried his team to the NBA finals and their rivalry heated up. Magic fought Bird a lot fo time for an NBA title and one day they got a call to do a commercial together. Magic and Bird shot a Converse advertisement and from that day began their friendship.

After years of intense rivalry something happened. Magic was flying in his airplane to a game when he got called and was told to come back to get checked. When he arrived he was tested and proven he was HIV positive. He was planning on retirement and he quickly told his agent to tell Larry and his friend Arsenio Hall about this. Magic retired because of HIV.

I didn't finish the book but that's all I read...

Im about to tell you a tragic story about my school pants. I ripped it. It was Tuesday afternoon i was playing basketball with my friends and then I accidentally ripped it in the middle part but luckily no one noticed even myself. So i went back to class feeling a little weird and cold.In my English class i was doing an activity called comprehension box and then i noticed something. why does my pants feel weird, but when I checked it was fine. But it felt a little weird though. Ten minutes later i talked to my friend next to me Aca. I asked him "ca does my pants look weird?" and he said" no it looks fine"

So i decided to check for the third time and then i noticed it was ripped near my bottom. So I talked to Aca again and said I ripped my pants. So I went to Ibu Meg and said that I needed to go to the bathroom because I ripped my pants  and its urgent. So I changed into my PE pants and looked like a year 6 primary student or lets just say i look different than everyone else and thats the story of how I ripped my school  pants .

Hi everyone in Friday I read a magazine called SLAM. It think it was really interesting about how they talk about the playoffs and how the San Antonio Spurs won it easily. It really explains about each game about which players were amazing and which players were not.

They also had a section about this year's NBA rookies it talked about what they will bring to the NBA teams and what is they're weakness or why team will be glad to have them. I really like this year's NBA rookies because a lot of them are really young and they are very athletic( Good at Jumping, speed, and able to make amazing dunks) a lot of hem are all about potential.

I also read about NBA players last year and why are they so special. One of my favorite NBA player, was talked about which is Victor Oladipo. They talked about his energy and how amazing and surprised everyone that he had a really good rookie season.
