Cory connors '13 Recruiting Profile

The sport of basketball is known as a fun past time for any person young or old. Basketball is a great way of exercise and a great way to have fun with friends and possibly make some new ones. I love to watch and play the game, basketball is a very entertaining sport and can be played by anyone. Basketball has many positive things about it that seem to fit my interest. Based on my opinion, basketball is known as a good pastime in many people’s eyes but can also be seen as a passion for many others, such as myself.

Basketball in my opinion is the best thing I can do with my friends to have fun while burning a few calories. I see basketball as an easy way to have fun rather than sitting on the couch all day playing video games or watching television. One reason I love basketball is because you need only yourself to play the game or, you can play with teammates. I prefer to have others to play with rather than just playing alone. To me there is not only one word that I can describe basketball. You meet tons of people and you are able to play with your friends for hours without getting one thought of boredom. One thing I love about basketball is that people have many different styles of play. There are styles such as a passer, playmaker, shooter, defensive player, and dunker or highflyer. When you play basketball you feel much more confident and makes you not care much about how others think about you. When I possess the ball in basketball I have the mentality of being the best and no one could stop me. Many people have creative ideas and find new ways to trick the opposing players. Playing Basketball is very entertaining since there are endless ideas you can think of just with a hoop and a basketball. There are many reasons why I love to play the game of Basketball but I also love to watch the game also.


Basketball to me is overall the best sport out of all of the other sports such as baseball, soccer, and football. I also believe out of all these sports basketball is the best sport to watch on television. Basketball is very fun to watch on television because when you watch it you can take the moves you see the professional’s perform and add them to your style of play. I take many of my moves from professional basketball players and make them my own because they expand my arsenal of tricks. There are a variety of tricks the players perform during games it makes the games much more enjoyable to be watching. My favorite player to watch is Micheal Jordan until this day. He made basketball seem as a mere game for little kids and for them to always dream big. He still is a big role model to many kids who enjoy playing this sport such as myself. Micheal was capable of doing anything he strived for, he was a very versatile player and could get anywhere around the court in a blink of an eye. Jordan is the definition of all-around in my book. He knows how to play both sides of the game offense and defense. I see myself reaching the capablities has like Micheal Jordan if not even more. I want to play like him as I continue to get better and better every time I play basketball. Basketball is my favorite sport of all-time. There are just endless possibilities when it comes to the thought of basketball.

Basketball is a great way to get your mind off things and is also a great way to express yourself. It is a sport that can work your whole body.I see in my eyes that basketball is very addicting and makes you want to play more and more of it.    

So therefore with all the above in mind, my aspriations are to become a great Pro basketball Player  . I see myself reaching dreams that I have always had since grade three, this is to have a career with the best of the best basketball players , myself as one of them.
