1st Day Questions

Throughout the book I was surprised how well everything worked out for Larry Bird. Even though he played a little bit in junior high it seemed like he was making most of his shots. Once he found out he was good at playing basketball, he decided to join the school basketball team and during his sophomore year, he was put onto the varsity team. He was injured last season but by working extremely hard, he was able to make the team on the day of their sectionals, and it just so happens that he got into the game and it just so happens that he was the one to make the final free throws to win the game.

I don't really have a similar connection to Larry Bird because I never thought about becoming the best player in the game whether it's football, basketball, or soccer. I haven't put a lot of effort in the sport I play and I don't feel that sleep was a rude intrusion on practice time. So me and Larry Bird have nothing in common as of now based on how far I've read my book.

Quotes that will stick with me:

"First of all, sports was a big part of our lives --- every day."

"My feeling about passing is that it doesn't matter who's doing the scoring as long as it's my team"
