Diary Of A Baller: Kyle Anderson Entry #8


Wassup, if you didn't know this is Kyle Anderson back again to let the public know how the week of a Ballar went. In my last entry I promised that I'd let you known how we did in the tournament in Philadelphia this weekend. It was our first tournament,(the Playaz-White). Well, we did what we do. We won the Chip earlier today. We beat some pretty good teams en route to the Chip. In pool play we beat Hunting Park of Philadelphia. In the semi's we ran past the Central Jersey Hawks, who had upset Team Kobe's 15U. We wasn't having any upset in our game. Finally in the Chip, we beat the Hurricanes from Indiana. They were good, but they had just played their semi final and had to catch a flight back to Indiana, so they played us right away. Bad move! We came out firing 3's from all over the place. Myles Davis from the right side, Myles Mack from the top, Davis again from deep in the corner. Just when they thought "the rain" had stopped, Charles Oliver came off the bench to hit two more. I couldn't let them have this kind of fun by themselves, so I knocked down a couple. At one time during this first half "rain storm" I heard their coach say to his assistant, "what are we gonna do they all can shoot". This tournament wasn't much of a scoring tournament for me, well except for the Championship when I knocked down three 3's and had 15 points. I played a lot of the 3 and 4 and I rebounded really well through out the tourney. Right now I am playing a lot off the ball and I don't mind, I just want to win.

Earlier in the week I had some games in the mens league. I played well in both of the games and most importantly we got the W. Wednesday consisted of nothing, it was A rainy day :-(. Thursday I had Playaz 15s practice. We also practice with the 17yr old team. I left practice early for the Chip in the Mens League. We played against A Paterson team who had Sadeer Mitchell and Deshawn Williams of Syracuse. Lassie (as he's known in Paterson) led Syracuse in scoring in 2002. We took the Chip by 2 pts. I didn't play that well but its all about the W.

Friday I had A day off from school and chilled out with my main man Myles Davis. The next morning, we woke up early for the ride down to Philly. Saturday we went 3-0 and same thing for Sunday. Like I told you before, CHIPS AHOY!!!!!!! Expect to always see our Playaz team on Sunday evenings. Next week were in the Spring Fling playin' 16u. I don't know 'bout playin' on Sunday in that one. Wait scratch that I'm A WINNER! Don't matter who we play. I'll let you know how we do next week, SEE YA LATER
