Personal Statement
Every since the first time I played basketball, I feel in love with the sport. I tried out for our middle school team in the 6th grade, and i didn't make it. So i played with the older kids at the community gym that season, while my friends were at basketball practice. They use to pick on me for not making the team, but I knew that I had what it took for me to make it. The next year came around, and I tried out again. I played my heart out at try-outs, I ran as fast as I could in the running drills, and I hustled like no other. Within the next couple of day, they put a list up on the school's news board, but this time, my name was on it. From that point on, I've been playing the game. I want to go to the EuroLeague one day and show people from across the world what Shavon is about. To me, just thinking other types of people from all over the world knowing me and what I do drives me everyday.
