Activity 2: Defying the Odds [4 points]
LeBron James is one of the most famous professional basketball players in the world. He currently plays in the NBA (National Basketball Association) for the Los Angeles Lakers. He has won numerous awards over the years, helping his teams win many important games.
Steven Adams also plays in the NBA, but unlike LeBron, Steven comes from Rotorua, New Zealand and is the half-brother of Olympic gold medalist Valerie Adams. That’s a pretty cool family connection, isn’t it?! Steven Adams currently lives in the United States and plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team.
Despite being born in different countries, these two incredible basketballers have a number of similarities. Both men came from humble beginnings. Neither of their families had a lot of money, and neither man grew up with a father at home. Even though they faced challenges, they were able to overcome them. Both men are examples of what is possible when you work hard and believe in yourself.
My list of 5 questions i would ask LeBron James is:
when did you find out you were more skilled then you pairs while playing basketball
How much time do you reckon you spend training alone
who is one of your biggest motivators that have been on the whole experience with you
What would you do once you retire from basketball if you were to do so
If you were not doing basketball as a job what would you be doing
Hi again Courtney,
ReplyDeleteKa pai on making a post for week one, day three, activity two! The questions you would ask LeBron James are thoughtful, I think you would get some really interesting information from asking those questions. I especially like the one about who is one of his biggest motivators. Who is one of your biggest inspirations or motivators?
Do you play basketball or any other sports? I like to run, box, dance, and play netball :)
Have a groovy day,
Eliza :)
