When I was 9years old I won my first ever basketball championship. It was my second year of AAU basketball.
My team was full of 9&10 year olds and we were pretty good going into the tournerment, but we were still the under dogs beacause no onw expected us to win the championship. My number was 7, which was my favorite number but it just so happened that it was one of the numbers i couls choose from, and no one else wanted it.
I had good relationships with all the other players and my coaches so everything was good. But the one person on my team I had the best relationship with was my cousin Stink well thats what we all called him and still do to this day. We were real close, when I got the number 7 he got the next closest number they had avalible which was 15. Stink was a year older than me at the time, and we were the best two players on the team well thats what all the coaches said. And this year everyone expected us to carry the team.
So Stink and myself both averaged almost 20 points a game in the tournerment, and we lead the team the championship.
In the first half Stink had 8 points and i had 5pts, we really didn't score well in the first half. But it was still a pretty close game, the score was 25-31 and we were losing. Although we didnt score much in the first half we both had 5 assist and 10 rebounds appeice. By the end of the third quater we were down 40-48, but by the last minute of the fourth quater we took a 50-53 lead with 45 seconds left.
By the time it was 6 seconds left the score was 52-53 with us up by one point, and the other team had to foul. And guess who they fouled. Me!! It was a lot of pressure but I knocked down both free throws to give a three point lead. The score was 52-55.
They had no timeouts left so they had to go for three, so they pushed the ball and went for three but didnt get a shot off because Stink stole the ball from there point guard to win us the game.
We won our championship game with Stink and I getting Co-MVP's. He finished with 24points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals, and 6 assist. And I finished I finished with 21points, 11 rebouds, and 12 assist.
And thats how I won my first ever basketball championship.
