For all of you basketball junkies out there who have not yet noticed, NBA.com is currently running a section under the name of My Amazing Journey that brings together 30 current players to reflect on their life journeys before making it to the NBA as part of the league's countdown for the new season’s tip-off. Presently at mid-way through the list of the chosen players, already big names like Steve Nash, Yao Ming and Dwayne Wade had joined in to share their life-changing experience and the highs and lows they have gone through to fulfill their dreams of playing their beloved game at this highest level. Questions like ‘To what lengths would you go to for a chance to play basketball, even if it were just a shoot around’ and ‘What is your favourite childhood basketball memory’ will never fail to catch the readers, certainly not if you are a basketball or for this matter a sports fan. Add a winner-in-build-up’s mentality and attributes to that, there you get a perfect, impeccable match-up of a reader and a piece to read. You might not quite get the idea just yet, so my suggestion would be just have a go at the above link, randomly select a player or two of your choice for their stories and enjoy.

Nice right? I like the way the questions really try to bring back memories to those players. BUt if you've read through all of them, I must say that some of them didn't give that much effort to cooperate- their answers turned out to be lame and went totally out of the scope. Hilarious in a way. Yao Ming for instance, when asked if did it ever strike him in the middle of the game that he's made it to the NBA, his answer was simply 'No'. At least make up the stories la. Hahaha.
