Some play for the hype, some play for the perks. some play for the fans. But the true ball players play for the love of the game. For me basketball was more than game. All my friends were up to no good, started makin trouble in the neighborhood. Got in a couple bad fights and my mom got mean, told me get my act together or im off my travel team.

Basketball kept my grades up. All my coaches stressed academics and we all had to take SAT classes in order to get Nike to sponser us.  From Cali, to Disney to Ohio and Singapore basketball has helped me explore different cultures and people across the world. Basketball introduced me to the girl of my dreams but eventually took her away . From top 100 camps , awards dinners handshakes from congressmen there was no better honor than seeing my little brother outside getting shots up after my game trying to be like his big brother.

To you its just a game to me its a way of life.

1. Ello chap

My name is Sean. i like to live . i never have bad days. i think alot of things are funny. Call it immature but im just living. the question asks who i think i am, but thats lame. i know who i am. Im me thats it. You can only be yourself, the moment you try and live like somebody else, your no longer an individual and can never truly feel fulfillment in life.

2. Top 3 concerns in college..

a. Winning a CUNY Championship

Basketball is one of my passions. Its more than a game to me. Its taken me around the country and helped me to meet many different kinds of people. Ive only known the seniors on the team for like 6 months but they are already like family to me. I’d like to see them get a ring within there college careers and ill do whatever it takes to make that happen.

b. Balancing Schoolwork, Basketball and Nightlife

I like to go out… alot. i usually try and limit myself to thursday through saturday but sometimes things come up you know .  I like to get my homework and workouts in first so this way i dont have to worry about the next day.

c. Cooking

I moved to Manhattan about a month and a half ago and i literally buy every single one of my meals. Easily spent well over 2 grand on food alone. My parents always send me money so its not really a problem but sometimes i just want a homecooked meal. I cant cook for my life. If its not microwaveable its not in my repertoire.

3. Gain Weight

The biggest difference between high school and college for me is having to gain weight for basketball. In high school the weight of players doesn’t really matter you can get away with being skinny. However in college you really have to gain weight and get stronger and more explosive.

4. Not a chance
