When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James. Paul's favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions. Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said,"If Bogues could make it, why not me?“ Our coach was not so sure Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him Everyone knew Paulhad real skills,and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn't get a chance. This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn't lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he’d been waiting for. How others including himself evaluate him?
