Terrence Clarke POV

"This Kid is special"

"Terrence Clarke, A 6'8 Small foward who is shocking the world with he beautiful precious Basketball skills"

"This kid is up next"

"Who's going to stop this kid once he reaches the NBA?"

"Top 8 in his draft class"

I been looking at myself for years thinking to myself after that one video they took of me at the D rich camp back in 2017. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Flashback

" Man you know. The followers on the gram is low. Twitter got like 800. You know I go around the country and nobody know me"

I look at the camera as we walk down the road.

"I'll tell you in about a couple of months. Everybody gon know who Terrence Clarke is"

"2021 starting to make it"

I drink my drink and look into the camera

"Forsho, Trust and believe that"

It was the start of a good freshman year. I had a great Senior year averaging 18.3 points per game with 5.8 rebounds per game and three assists per game as  my team Brewster Academy finished with a 34–3 record. We was supposed to go to the national prep finals but you know. A nigga named Covid had to ruin everything.

My dream has always been to make it to the NBA but my real goal is to provide for my family especially my moms. She's been there for me since I was a little kid. My father was there but wasn't there for my family at the same time. It's always been my mom, my brother, and sisters. 

My mom wanted me to go to Duke at first but she than thought about it again and said I look like a Kentucky kid.

You know how, like, Carlton Banks is more like a Duke, but I more rough around the edges, like a Kentucky. My story is like Will Smith. That's how She figured Kentucky would be perfect for me.

When I make it to the league, I'm gonna buy my mom her dream house and dream car. And pay my sisters tuition.

"Terrence get over here" My high school coach called me over. I walked over to him as I dribbled the ball over to him as he sat down.

"Yes Coach" I said sitting right beside him.

"You got to turn up this year at Kentucky, you got NBA scouts taking you seriously this year, you got stuff to prove young fella" my coach said and I nod. Coach was like a dad to me. Even though he had kids of his own. He'll always treat me and my siblings like his own children.

"Yeah I understand you coach, this year is my take off year. After that I'm gonna declare for the draft so my family can be set for life-" I started but coach puts his finger to my mouth.

"Slow down TC, you still got a year ahead of you. Focus on your schoolwork, your grades and ball. Don't let me find out you chasing around females and get into something you can't get out of. I'll really beat that behind of yours" he says sternly which makes me burst into laughter. I look at him and realized his face was the same way.

"Oh you're serious. Coach no girl is on my mind and you know this. Even my mama know this, she's the one who be asking me am I gonna bring a girl to the house for her to meet" I told him. To be honest girls wasn't a top priority in my life. I just been hooping and training if it ain't hooping it's on the game playing 2k.

Like my bro JG said "We better make a pizza pocket or something"

Had me dying when bro said that. I miss the slam classic days. Everyone was lit. I had a great time with all the top players in the country. Got to meet Pop smoke, lil Tjay, A boogie. A lot of NBA players came out to watch. That's when I knew my life was just getting started.

"Anyways just focus on those things or maybe... your mom is right to find one sweetheart in university.

"I thought you only find your high school sweetheart that's it" I said.

"No Terrence, you can find you sweetheart anywhere anytime" he says.

"Makes sense now" I said. I grabbed the ball and thought about life. Maybe a Kentucky girl ain't bad after all.

Incoming call from BJ🖤

I grabbed my phone and answered to see what he wants.

"Yooooo bro" he yells in the phone.

"Yes Bj, how can TC5 assist you today?" I asked as if I was a flight attendant. We both laugh as I hear cam'ron talking In the background.

"So Cam you ain't gonna say hello at least?" I asked.

"I'll talk to you once you give me my 10 dollars" he says mad. This nigga is bipolar.
I bet 10 dollars that he wouldn't beat me in a game of 2k but somehow he won.

"Alright bro stay mad" I said laughing at him. Cam'ron be something else makes me laugh everytime.

"Anyways we bout to go hoop if you want to come through and get some shots up before our scrimmage game" BJ says.

"Ight I'll slide through for a bit. Before y'all hang up can y'all help me pack my stuff for tomorrow" I said. I hear them talk before the phone hangs up. I'm gonna beat they're asses and give them buckets.

"Yo coach, Ima see you once I come back to LA" I said.

"Ight Tc, take care son" he says pulling me to a hug. I wrap my arms around him and hug him tight. Feels like I'm losing a part of my life.

He pulls away and we do our handshake.
I grab my things and walked near the entrance. I stopped and look around the place.

I'm really going to miss this home.

I leave the gym and go to my car. I sit down and put my seatbelt on before starting the car.

I put the address into the gps before driving off. I put on my playlist and Youngboy comes on.

Now I'm definitely gonna give these boys buckets
