Currently, the NBA Playoffs are happening right now and I am really excited to see the end result and how far the Denver Nuggets go since they’re my favorite team. I don’t know what next season is going to be like since the season is all messed up now since the pandemic.

Right now, it’s the summer before i go into 7th grade. It will be hard to adapt to online school for the whole 8th grade but hopefully it will go fine. I do miss playing basketball with my friends and just seeing them in person. Plus, I can’t wait to go back to regular school and go in public.

The NBA season is coming back on July 30th and I’m really excited and since it’s optional for the players to play or not, I hope my favorites will and am curious how well the players will do since this quarantine. They called it a bubble and its interesting that you can watch the players vlog their trip readying for the season.

Today was my last day of school until summer break and it is unique. Hopefully this will end soon because I miss playing basketball with my friends and going out in public. I am curious about how my summer will turn out and hopefully not too bad.

“The Last Dance” is a documentary about the Chicago Bulls in the 90’s especially Michael Jordan. I recently finished another episode and loved how it showed inside the locker room and we can learn about what the NBA players do before and at halftime of games. I love this documentary and would love more like these in the future.

“Holes” is a book by Louis Sachar that is about is sent to a juvenile corrections facility because he got accused for theft. I did watch the movie and I liked the movie more than the book. The book has a lot of action and showcases the life at a juvenile corrections facility. The main character, Stanley, has a tough life there and I like these books because it gives us an imagery of places some of us haven’t been before.

“The Last Dance” is a documentary that talks about inside the Chicago Bulls in the 90’s. Especially Michael Jordan. The documentary talked about his ferociousness and determine to win.

I loved the documentary and I hope there is more documentaries that are inside an NBA Team or player that I can watch next.

“The Final Four” is a book by Paul Volponi that is about what the Final Four is and how important the games are. The games are intense because of the respect they will earn and will be remembered if the team your on won.

This book resembles the Final Four in real life and how intense the games are. I don’t watch much NCAA but I sometimes tune in to the Final Four to have the feeling of excitement and intensity.

Reading is only fun if you read books you enjoy. Here are my favorite types of books to read.

School Books: I love school books because it’s like something I can relate to and can have an exciting plot.

Fantasy: Fantasy books also have an imaginary and exciting adventure and it is like a dream. Anything can happen in it and you can follow it.

Basketball books: Basketball books are fun to read because you can learn more about the NBA, or have a plot based on a basketball game.

“Fish in a Tree” is a book by  Lynda Mullaly Hunt. The book is a sad story and has a great life lesson. The book is like Stargirl. They are different but it’s not a bad thing. Everyone is different in different ways.

I like books like these, that have a realistic problem and a lot of conflict. I love this book and would like to read more like it.
