Victor has the ball. We're down to 3 seconds on the clock. Behind the back, the spin move:

OH MY GOSH! THE CAVALIERS WIN THE NBA FINALS! FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THEIR FRANCHISE.
*end of flashback*
This is how it all began:
In the month of June on a certain day, I was 8 years old and walking with a basketball to the park. My stepdad was following me.
He asked me,"Do you wanna play basketball?" I just said "yeah" and we started. When we finished our 1 on 1, he said,"I'm gonna teach you the basics. The first thing he told me to do was a layup, and I mastered it, then a crossover (didn't nail that so much) and some right hand dribbles (very hard to do). In about a year, I was on a Parks and Recreation team. We only won 2 games though. Next, I was on another team but this time we won 3 games. I went to a basketball camp called Back to the basics. It was a good camp that lasted 4 weeks about the basics of basketball, the idea of basketball. I went there with my age group, and they said I was so good that I can be with the 13-15 years old group, because I was that good. After those 4 weeks have passed, they handed me a slip to go to their highest level for 1 week, where we just scrimmaged. I knew how to shoot 3-pointers, so I'd average 1 3-pointer per game, and I'll average 6 points per game. The next team I was on the most horrible team there could ever be. Every time they got the ball they would shoot the ball and it will miss. But very luckily, we won 1 game. Surprising, everyone loved my talent. They wanted me on multiple AAU teams and one coach wanted me in a very intense leveled camp. That's what my mom told me, anyways.
1 year later...
It was the season of winter and I was in 7th grade, the first day of the basketball try outs. There was about 15 people trying out. I was very nervous that I wouldn't make it. The coaches were very serious, and had no humor. They wanted us to play our 100%. They passed the ball to me, and I shot the 3-pointer and made it. At the end of the scrimmage, the coach said "Good job, sport", and I went to get a drink of water. I came back in and the coach told every one that the people who made it will be on the website at exactly 5:00.
1 hour later...
I had just finished eating dinner, and it was exactly 5:00 so I ran to my laptop, got on the website, and searched for my name. And then I looked...
