Time To Get Busy.

-Dawane

It Was About 5:30 When I Awoke To My Alarm. I Got Up Put On Some Jogging Sweats, My Kobe 8 Systems And Whit T-Shirt. I Ran For About A Mile Then I Returned Myself To The Hotel, WEnt Back To Sleep For One More Hour. Then When I Awoke The Second Time (Which Was 7:00) I Had To Get Ready For Practice, I Kept My Sweats On Then I Changed My White T Into My Red Slevelesss Compression Shirt. 

When I Reached New Orleans Arena I Decided To Take A Quick Picture. Afterwards I Went In Put My Practice Jersey Over My Compression Shirt, Then My Red And Blue Elite Socks, Followed By My All Red Lebron 11's. After Changing I Met Up With Chris Paul, 

"Yo Dawane" Chris Said. Did He REally Just Call My Name? I Had To Hurry And Reply,

"Whassup"

"Come Shoot With Me I Wanna Talk About Your Game"

"Yea Definitely, Let Me Just Grab A Ball"

"Yup"  I Went Over To The Rack Grabbed My Ball Then Headed Over To Chris Paul. 

"So, I'm Going To Go Ahead And Get Right To The Point. Your Game Is Tremendous. But,  What I Think You Should Most Work On Is, Now I'm ot Saying It's Horrible But It Could Use Just A Little Work. That Is Your Three Point Game. I Say This Because, Say Your Team Is In The Fourth Quarter With  SEconds But Your Coach Didn't Put The Three Point Specialists In, So It Was Up To You"

"Whoa! Your Right, You Wanna Help Me Before We Start Practice?"

"Yea No Prob Let's Start You From The Corner Over To The Right"

So He Counted Down From Three Then Threw Me The Ball I Started Knocking Down Every Shot All The Way Up To The Left Corner. When I Reached The Left Corner I Just Couldn't Make Them Go In. 

"Ahh, There We Go, That's Where We Start, Your Left Corner Three Point Game.  Ok, So What I Want You Do Is, Shott 30 Shots From That Corner, Make Atleast 20 Got It?"

"Yea, Let's Get To It" So He Counted Down Again. Ths Time I Made Most Of Them I Made 24 Out Of 30. But Hey I'd Rather Make 24 Then Miss 30.

When Practice Fianlly Started I Was Already To Go. We Didn't Do Much Though He Just Introduced Us To Some New Plays, And Then We Did Some Conditioning.
