Do you play sports or watch them on TV?  I love sports! I play basketball, volleyball, and cross country.  Mostly, I play basketball, and I watch basketball and football on TV.  Everyone in my family either enjoys playing sports or watching them.  Today, I am going to tell you about my favorite NBA (National Basketball Association) players.  My three favorite NBA players are Stephen Curry, Zion Williamson, and Trae Young.  

My favorite NBA player is Stephen Curry.  The reason I started liking Curry was because of my brother; I always wanted to copy him, and that was one way I did it.  But now, I love Curry because he is a great player, and his specialty is shooting, just like mine.  Stephen Curry also holds the record for three-pointers in the NBA and the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association).  Secondly, I love Curry because he is spectacular at basketball and is in the top five for rankings; he sits at number 5.  Lastly, I adore Curry because he has a great attitude on and off the court, knows that his skill comes from God, and thanks him for that.  I believe that anything anyone asks Curry to do, he will do, even if he feels he can’t do it.  He still has confidence and tries it.  Those are the reasons I love Stephen Curry and his skills. 

My second favorite NBA player is Zion Williamson.  Firstly, Zion went to Duke University, which is my favorite college, and he was the best one there.  Secondly, Zion is very tall and can dunk pretty gosh darn well, which I love.  He was named NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2020, meaning he was one of the top five players from his draft class.  Lastly, he was the youngest player to ever get drafted into the NBA, which is crazy surprising but amazing for him to accomplish.  Those are all reasons I love Zion and adore his extraordinary basketball skills.

My third favorite NBA player is Trae Young.  First, Trae Young is much like me; he is small and an amazing shooter.  Many people are drawn to him because he is small, and they don’t believe he can be any good, which is something I am strongly drawn to.  He didn’t let that stop him; he continued to practice and improve his game, showing everyone what he could do.  Now, look where he is: the NBA.  Secondly, this guy can shoot anywhere on the court, short or long.  No matter how well you guard him, he still shoots and makes every shot.  Lastly, he has only played 3 seasons for the Hawks and is already moving up the rankings; he is currently ranked number 12.  That is amazing to think about because no one believed in him and thought he couldn’t do anything, but he believed, and that is the only person that matters.  Those are the reasons why I admire Trae Young and his confidence. 

In conclusion, my three favorite NBA players are Stephen Curry, Zion Williamson, and Trae Young.  I love all these players because I can relate to them and they are some of the best basketball players in the world.  Consider watching or playing sports; you won’t regret it!  Don’t forget about your family; encourage them too!
