List of things journal 1a

“List of things”

Top 10 basketball players of all time
  • Michael Jordan
  • Kobe Bryant ( my opinion )
  • Magic Johnson
  • Kareem Abdul Jabbar
  • Julius Erving
  • Larry Bird
  • Bill Russell
  • Oscar Robertson
  • Scottie Pippen ( my opinon )
  •  Hakeem Olajuwon
Michael Jordan that's all I have to say and to billions of people that's all you have to say. He is immediately identified with basketball whether you watch the sport or not, everybody knows who much like Lebron is (as much as it pains me to say it) or Kobe Bryant. These names are the 1st thing that comes to mind when you think of basketball and Vice versa. He lead the Chicago bulls to 6 champion ships including two 3-peat's, along with many other accolades. He changed the game of basketball forever that's why he my number 1 on the list.

Top 10 basketball player on the planet (currently playing)
  • Kobe Bryant
  • Dwayne wade
  • Kevin Durant
  • Carmelo Anthony
  • Dirk Nowitzki
  • Chris Paul
  • Derion Williams
  • Tim Duncan
  • Steven Nash
  • Brandon Roy
My favorite player in the NBA is Kobe Bryant, allot of people dwell in the past and don't like him because of his cockiness, the fact that has just a winner, or because people can’t accept the fact that has the closet and thing to Michael Jordan that we will ever have. His fire, passion, and love for the game along with a work effort above below none make him a great player. Which is why so many people want to see him fail? His exciting game winners aren't bad either, the best closer in the game for the past decade. There is a reason Lebron is not on the list.

Top 10 receivers of all time
  • Randy Moss ( my opinion )
  • Jerry rice
  • Cris Carter
  • Paul Warfield
  • Terrell Owens
  • Marvin Harrison
  • Michael Irvin
  • Art Monk
  • Andre Reed
  • Isaac Bruce
I picked randy moss because to me no receiver has changed the game the way moss has. Basically he can make a shutdown corner look like a high school db. the way other receivers get by people with power or quickness ( he has thoughts things) but if you back off him 5 10 yards even 15 and try to stay with him hell blow right by you. And as for a jump ball you can forget about it he grabs although many people say rice but if moss and Steve young and Joe Montana + about 20 years in the NFL he could do twice as much in my opinion.

Most feared hitters of all time (NFL 10)
  • Dick Butkus
  • John Lynch
  • Ray Lewis
  • Steve Attwater
  • Lawrence Taylor
  • Jack Lambert
  • Jack Tatum
  • Ronnie Lott
  • Night Train Lane
  • Brian Dawkins
My choice of people I want to talk about is john lynch. Has the kind of guy who if possible (which I don't think ever happened) you had the ball you want to avoid him at all cost. He could really plaster you to the ground, just flat out turn your lights out. He wasn't that fast and wasn't suppose to be in the NFL but he put a mark on the game with his huge hits and power. The way he hit you forced fumbles all over the place. He was truly a forced to be reckoned with.

Things im afriad of
  • god
I put god becuase im not really afriad of nything else . dispite what people say ive been through alot so ive seen it alot. i have yet come accross anything thatsignificantly comes my way. one of my friends mentioned never playing basketball again but i could do rehab for an injury. there are so many insperational storys about thing like that so i would never doubt myself that i couldnt do the same 




Things that make me feel at peace
  • basketball
  • music
  • family ( rarley lol)
  • football
  • my game system 
I say basketbal becuasewhen im on the court its the one time of the day that you cant bother me. nobody can come on the court and say or do anything thatwill throw me off my game . Ita my inpenitrable force field . when im on the court i block all the destractions out.school, girls, annoying friends everything. its my santuary where none oranything can bother me.

Top 5 worst rappers recently
  • Vanilla ice
  • Dem franchise boys
  • Shaq ( lol)
  • Soulja boy
  • k-fed
  • waka flaka flame 
The guy I want to talk about is everybody favorite Shaq, the movie shazzam was pretty funny has a shoe in the basketball hall of fame but when he tried to rap it been just embarrassing. The favorite one anybody even remembers was when Shaq dissed Kobe, but it was more memorable because of them being ex teammates and the lead up over the year. This escalated it to the point where Shaq had to rap asking Kobe " Kobe tell me how my a** taste " it was a good laugh but in all honesty it was a pitiful effort at a sudden career change.

Top 10 favorite cartoons back in the day
  • Rugrats
  • Scooby Doo
  • Tiny Toons
  • Animanicas
  • swat cats
  • Doug
  • Hey Arnold
  • Rockos modern life
  • Batman he animated series
  • Ren and Stimpy
I loved Doug not to many people remember it because it went off of TV in the mid 90's while the other stayed on until the late 90's.I think personally the old cartoons are way better the new ones are so ignorant and don't teach the kids anything. Its fun to laugh and watch some of them but the old cartoon actually taught you something and had life lessons. Unlike the shows to day which kids copy off of and learn how to act like fools.

Top 5 favorite snacks
  • Fruit rollups
  • Fruit snacks
  • Popcorn
  • Chips
  • Ice cream
My favorite snack is probably ice cream. Although I only eat a few favors, vanilla (favorite) chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies & cream. It’s just so good and cold. I eat it anytime of the year you just can’t have enough ice cream, to me that's just one of those things that really does it for me. I love ice cream that's why it’s my favorite snack.

Top 10 things I do everyday
  • Shower
  • Deodorant
  • Listen to music
  • Play my ps3
  • Fool around with my IPod touch
  • Talk with friends
  • eat & drink
  • sleep
  • Face book & aim
  • watch games on TV
Ill picks the last o where I watch games on television. I don’t watch alt of v unless its basketball or football season. Nothing else really interests me. In fact it annoys me, shows like gossip girl, jersey shore, and other reality TV shows are annoying. its not real and the fact that almost all of America watches and believe that its true s obnoxious.......grow up like we all know they edit and change things in show biz and half of the things are not real. That why I like sports what you see is what you get everything is real cant change anything you’re watching. There is the occasional bad calling by the refs but its part of the games and the suspense is what makes it fun to watch.

Top 5 favorite times of the year
  • Christmas
  • birthday
  • thanksgiving
  • summer
  • spring
Ill pick Christmas with addition to getting a few weeks of work or school, I think it’s the livest holiday. Their parts of my religion not to mention so it’s a special time of year for everyone in my house hold. I love the time you get to spend with distant family that you only see once or twice a year....how they still mange to get on my nerves is beyond me but never the less its fun. Presents don’t hurt either.

  1. I love reading more about your passions and I feel like I'll probably learn more about basketball from reading what you will write about this year!
    This is a great start, but I have a feeling that you could be far more diligent with your grammar. You started out checking, but by the end of the assignment, it started slipping a bit! Make sure to double check your work....you don't want to get a lower grade on an assignment just because of a few misspellings, or lowercase letters.
    8/10
