Activity 2: Defying the Odds [4 points]
LeBron James is one of the most famous professional basketball players in the world. He currently plays in the NBA (National Basketball Association) for the Los Angeles Lakers. He has won numerous awards over the years, helping his teams win many important games.
Steven Adams also plays in the NBA, but unlike LeBron, Steven comes from Rotorua, New Zealand and is the half-brother of Olympic gold medalist Valerie Adams. That’s a pretty cool family connection, isn’t it?! Steven Adams currently lives in the United States and plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team.
Despite being born in different countries, these two incredible basketballers have a number of similarities. Both men came from humble beginnings. Neither of their families had a lot of money, and neither man grew up with a father at home. Even though they faced challenges, they were able to overcome them. Both men are examples of what is possible when you work hard and believe in yourself.
For this activity, I am going o imagine that I had the chance to interview LeBron James, Steven Adams or another basketball player of my choice.
On my blog, I need to tell you guys who I would interview and then provide a list of five questions that I would like to ask my chosen player. Here is my list of questions.
My player: Lebron James
1. What was your favourite team when you were growing up?
2. What's your favourite food?
3. Who is your favourite player other than you?
4. Do you like any other sports?
5. Do you have any brothers?
