LIfe after Basketball

After I am finished playing basketball, I still plan on working in a field that has to do with basketball.  I would like to coach possibly.  Basketball is more than a great sport that is fun to play but it also teaches a lot of life lessons, like leadership.  My coaches have taught me a lot more then just the simple fundamentals of basketball.  This is one reason I love basketball so much and I would love to keep basketball in my life even when I am unable to play anymore.

Sponsorship

The Ball State Men's Basketball Team is sponsored by Nike and get a lot of gear and benefits from sponsorships like these.  Nike provides our team with practice gear, socks, sliders, basketball shoes, travel shoes, jump suits, sweats, as well as our uniforms for games.  Nike is a top notch company that helps a lot of people and has many college team sponsorships.  This is a great benefit with playing for a sponsored team; there is a lot of free items given to us throughout the season.

Lebron James

Lebron James, AKA "King James," is a professional basketball player for the Miami Heat.  He is a 6 foot 8 inch, forward who has recently been an NBA champion, the NBA Finals MVP, and the NBA Rookie of the Year. He is from Akron, Ohio and is a three-time "Mr. Basketball of Ohio," and was the first overall pick of 2003 by the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Lebron  James has inspired me and I watch every Miami Heat game possible.
