Basketball Fix!

Bobby Light was a senior in college at Pittsburgh University. He played basketball for all 4 years he was there and won the NCAA Basketball Championship 2 years in a row when he was a junior and senior. When he graduates college he well enter his name in the NBA draft.
It was the day of his graduation, and all of his family, friends, and his girl friend were all there supporting him. After the ceremony was over he went to his friend’s house to hang out with his friends.
Then Big Cat asked him what NBA team did he want to go to?
Bobby said “It doesn’t matter to me as long as I can play basketball.”
Then Bobby asked “Where do u want to go Big Cat?”
Big Cat just said “I don’t know.” “Yeah I know what u mean” said Bobby.
Then Filipe walked in the room to see what everyone was doing. Filipe is the party animal of the group. He was always getting in trouble with people, and he was the school’s mascot for the basketball team. Where ever the team went he, went no matter what.
Filipe wanted us to go to a party on the other side of campus. He said that the party was for the seniors and only the cool kids were going. Big Cat said that “He would go but would drink because of basketball.” And I agree with him all the way. I wasn’t going to throw it all away just because of a party. When we got there a lot of people were there. Some were drinking some weren’t, and Filipe started drinking the second we got there. Some people kept coming up to bobby and asking him to sing his one hit wonder “Dirty Girls part 2” but bobby didn’t want to because he was shy. Then Big Cat said “come on dude it won’t hurt to sing it. Everyone will love it!” “Ha-ha alright ill do it.” said Bobby. After the song everybody cheer and for the rest of the night everyone had fun.
The next night the school had a ceremony for Bobby and Big Cat they were going to retire their numbers and hang the NCAA Basketball Championship banner in the basketball court. The ceremony started at 7:00pm, so Bobby and Big Cat had to be there at 6:00pm to rehearse his speech. Bobby drove his ford f-250 to the school and met up with Big Cat.
” I didn’t know that there would be these many people here I thought that there would only be like 100 not 500!” said Big Cat.
“Yeah I know!” said Bobby. While the ceremony started Bobby and Big Cat started reading over their speeches. Then Coach Dixon introduced Big Cat first to the crowd and he read his speech. Then Coach Dixon introduced Bobby. The crowd started cheering as loud as they could! After his speech they put up the
NCAA Basketball Championship banner. The banner read” NCAA Men’s Basketball Champions 2009-2010. Back to Back Champions 2008-09, 2009-10” Then they put up Big Cat and Bobby’s banner. Big Cats Read” WICKS with 10 under his last name, and the year 2006-10 that he played basketball for the Pittsburgh Panthers. A had 2008-09, 2009-10 champs.” Keith Wicks is Big Cats Real Name. Bobby’s read” LIGHT with 00 under his last name, and the year 2006-10 that he played for the Pittsburgh Panthers.”
“The banners well stay there forever.” said Coach Dixon. The crowd did a finally standing ovation for the team.
A week later was the NBA Draft. Bobby didn’t know where he was going to go or even if we was going to go. It was the 1st round and Bobby was nerves as heck! The first 9 teams all righty knew who they wanted to pick so it went fast. Then the announcer said” With the 10th pick the 2010 NBA Draft the Miami Heat picks Bobby Light from the University of Pittsburgh! The crowd started cheering as loud as they could. Bobby couldn’t believe that he was going to play beside Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh! After he went up on stage he could of left but he wanted to see where Big Cat was going to go. It was the 2nd round and Bobby couldn’t believe that Big Cat didn’t go yet. Then it was the 10th the 2nd round then all of a sudden the announcer said with the 10th pick in the 2nd round of the NBA Draft the Miami Heat pick Keith Wicks from the University of Pittsburgh! Big Cat and Bobby couldn’t believe what just happened they were in complete shock! They knew that that he was going to get drafted, but no one thought that it would be to the same team with Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh! This had a good season written all over it. That same night they met with the owner of the Miami Heat, Micky Arison. Mr. Arison said”
I’m glad to have yinz on my team. Are yinz both happy with your draft?” Big Cat and Bobby both said ‘Yes sir!”
“Good I’m glad” said Mr.Arison.
Then Mr. Arison said “Try to get down to Miami so that yinz can meet the team and the coaches. I think they will be happy to meet yinz.”
Big Cat and Bobby both said that “we will be down has soon as we can.” “Good” said Mr. Arison.
Later in the same month Big Cat and Bobby flue down to Miami. Where they met Mr. Arison at the airport. He took them to a nice fancy house where they could live as rookies but they had to pay rent too. They could do whatever they wanted to do. After they got unpacked they got a call from the Coach Pat Riley.
Coach said “to meet the team at American Airlines Arena at 8am.”
Bobby said “ok we will be there.” The next day Big Cat and Bobby met Coach at the front gate.
Coach said “Good Moring” and walked them to the locker room where the team was at. Coach introduced the team to the rookies, and showed them their lockers. Bobby’s was next to Lebron James’s and Big Cats was next to Dwayne Wade’s. Then Bobby looked in his locker and seen his number 00 jersey and got kinda started to cry.
Big Cat ask “What’s wrong Bobby?”
Bobby said “That if he ever went to the NBA that he would be number 00 for his dad and he couldn’t believe that it came true. That one day he would wear 00 for his dad. I wore it all through college and high school but it never hit me till now.” Then LeBron and Dwayne walked in and introduced themselves to Bobby and Big Cat. They couldn’t believe that they were on the same team as them. LeBron and Dwayne showed them the court and the gym. “The whole arena was amazing.” said Bobby.
LeBron laughed at him and said” I said that too when I first came here.”
After the little tore they met back up with Coach at the locker room. Then Coach asked “Bobby why do you Call Keith, Big Cat?”
Bobby started to laugh and said” when we were rookies in college we were playing the Kentucky Wildcats, and a player on the other team said was talking trash saying that he sucked and that’s why he didn’t start. Well then coach put him on against the player that was talking trash and Keith had a fast break away and dunked on the player that was talking trash and I said that was one Big Cat! And it just stuck.”
Coach, LeBron, and Dwayne started to laugh. Then from then on the whole team called Keith, Big Cat.
The next couple of month before the season started Marie and Bobby got enough money to buy their place. Well it was the first game of the season and Miami played the Lakers in Miami. It came down to the finally seconds the score was 89 to 90 Lakers. With twelve seconds left on the clock Dwayne dribbled down the court passed to Big Cat with nine seconds. Then he passed to Bosh at the top of the key. Then he passed it to Lebron on the wing which was on the left side of Bosh. Then with three seconds left on the clock Lebron passed it to Bobby on the other side of the wing and shot a three pointer. The buzzer went off and the ball was still and the air then SWOOSHES! He made the 3 pointer for the win. The crowd went crazy! The team stormed the court. They beat the defending champs and no one thought they would.
Well later that night Marie had a special surprise for Bobby. Well a couple of weeks later Marie started to feel sick. She took a pregnancy test and found out the she was pregnant. Bobby was there when she took the test that she didn’t have to be afraid to tell him. 9 months later Romeo Light was born. Well after his 1st birthday, Bobby was coming home from a game and caught Marie packing her things and she said that “she was leaving him and Romeo.” And that’s all she said.
And got in her car and was gone. Bobby couldn’t believe what just happened. He called Big Cat and told him what happened. He came over and he and Bobby talked the whole night. Big Cat told Bobby to come leave with him and his family. Big Cat had 2 kids with his wife, Nicole. Nicole helped with the baby and stuff.
It was the start of their 2nd season. They lost in game 7 of the NBA Finals to the Lakers. Has the season went on Bobby got over Marie and was back to normal but with a son. The Heat barley made the playoffs this year. But they put up a fight beating Boston, Orlando, and the Cavs. Well they met up the Lakers again in a game 7 but they weren’t going to lose this time. There was eleven seconds left in the 4th quarter, and the score was 95 to 93 Lakers. Dwayne dribbled down the court and passed it to Bosh who passed to Lebron with five seconds left then he passed to Big Cat down low and then Big Cat passed to Bobby at the top of the key with two seconds left. He was going for the win not the tie. Then he shot it over Kobe and the ball soared throw the sir like in a dream. The buzzer went off it was win or lose. And the ball was dead on target with the score being 96 to 95 Miami. Bobby couldn’t believe his eyes. They won the NBA National Championship! Bobby was named the MVP of the game, playoffs, and season. He was the first to do this ever.
After the game Big Cat went up to bobby and said “Basketball fixes everything!”
