965 Words4 Pages

Everyone has different points of views on different subjects. This could range from a simple object to a complex idea; whatever the concept might be, everything will be viewed differently depending on the person viewing it. When it comes to sports, millions of people generate different views of a given sport. A good example is when the Golden State Warriors went head to head against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Finals. The following are two different views of the same basketball game.

It was game six of the 2015 NBA Finals, with the Golden State Warriors on the verge of winning it all, leading the series at three games to two. I was afraid that LeBron James would fail at another finals attempt, but I had a gut feeling that the Cleveland Cavaliers would pull through and tie up the series.
It was tip-off. Cleveland’s colossal Timofey Mozgov went on head to head with Golden State’s sloth-like Andrew Bogut to gain first possession. Cleveland wins the opening tip. I started to clap with enthusiasm. I could see the fear in my cousin's face that he had for the Cavaliers. I doubted that his face would change throughout the game. Well, guess what… I was right. By the time it was halfway through the second quarter, Cleveland lead by five points. My cousin’s face was filled with fear while I was filled with joy.
By the late second quarter, the game was dead tight. After every possession, I would clinch my fingers hoping that Cleveland would make a basket and that Golden State would lose a possession. This would continuously go on until half time. By the time the first half ended, my fingers were so tense that even a vice wouldn’t move my fingers one

    When my favorite basketball team, the Boston Celtics, played in their season opening game on October 17th, I would not have dreamt that I would be leaving the room in tears after having flashbacks of the biggest setback in my lifetime.

    I had to knock some sense into the team. I explained to them how important it is that we win this game and that we need to play for our team, not ourselves.

After all of the difficult work we had to do to win, we achieved the championship. I was so proud of my teammates, and I felt a sense of strong pride for my team and my school when I held our first place trophy up in the air for the whole crowd to see.
