Seth Curry graduate of Duke University has began to make his impact on the game and NBA. Coming into the league after college, Seth has had opportunities to play for different NBA teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers  and the Golden State Warriors.

Seth has really flourished in the D-League and continuously developing his game and becoming better. Seth has always had the talent to play and shooting ability and it’s awesome to see him come into his own.

This summer he played for the New Orleans Pelicans Summer League Team which was undefeated until the quarterfinals of the tournament where they lost to the Phoenix Suns. Seth’s play throughout the tournament proved why he deserves to be in this league. Averaging over 25 points per game, he solidified his chances to earn a spot in the NBA and for the Pelicans at that. He will be a good asset at that.

I am so proud to see how far he has come and where he will go. This is only the beginning for Seth who has been on a long journey to really show what he can do. It is exciting and I am excited for him.

People may think I’m only a supporter of Seth because of his brother Stephen, Nope certainly not the case. I’ve been watching Seth since college wanting to see him in the NBA for a long time and now it is his time and he will leave an impact so if your not watching him you better just keep your eye on him. 🙂 He will surprise you.

Everyone’s journey to their career goal will be different than the next person, so it is all about hard work, persistence, faith, belief, and most importantly confidence that you will accomplish what you put your mind to.

Personal Short Story:

I am now senior in college. I will be graduating from Radford University with a Bachelor’s in Marketing. At one point I felt like I wouldn’t get to this point and wanted to just give up. Giving up only puts you at the bottom like the rest , but I had to just buckle down and not worry about the timetable to finish school. So now I was able to experience college and help make an impact rather than just wanting to leave. One of my biggest goals was to finish college and now I am 2 semesters away from achieving my goal. Never let anyone or anything stop you. Only you stand in the way of your destiny.

Good Luck to Seth on the next steps in his NBA Journey!! 🙂 I will be watching!

In the past few weeks, I have discussed many players such as John Wall, Stephen Curry, Lebron James, & Chris Paul.

It has been a lot of fun to read and write about each players accomplishments and what they will be doing in the offseason.

With the draft already taken place and new talent among us for the upcoming season, I will be highlighting a few key players who were drafted and how their impact may or may not help the team they are on.

I enjoy what I do and look forward to receiving your feedback.:)

Lebron, Lebron James

A man, husband, father, friend and a phenomenal basketball player.

2003- Lebron was drafted into the NBA and wowed us with his spectacular dunks, shots and years later game winners.

I personally wasn’t a fan of Lebron at first, yes he is from my hometown of Ohio and yes he is a great player but I was and still am a die hard Washington Wizards fan.

From 2005-2007 Cleveland and Washington crossed paths and of course I went for Washington. I actually got the opportunity thanks to my dad to attend a few games during Lebron’s first stint with Cleveland. I must say watching him in person is way better plus my respect for him began to grow.

side note: I love attending basketball games of all sorts,but my favorite are NBA Playoff Games. 🙂

As you all know Lebron left Cleveland in 2010 and took his talents to Miami where he won 2 rings and yet again earned my respect and likeness for him. At this point it is really hard not to be a fan of Lebron. ( My family would be happy lol)

In 2014, however Lebron decided he needed to return home to help his city rebuild and bring a title to Cleveland. Although it didn’t happen in 2015, I am sure Cleveland will see a title within the next 2-3 years.

I love the city of Ohio and I can’t wait for the day a title of any sort is earned for the city! It’s coming but for now we will have to wait.

One of my favorite Lebron moments was when he won his first title in 2012 and I saw the relief in his face not only that but how happy he was. The media who can be a fireball finally let up a bit because now he was a champion and you couldn’t tell him anything.

Lebron works hard on and off the court and I’m proud of him for never giving in to the haters and always proving time and time again why he will be in the hall of fame once his career comes to a close.

To all the Lebron fans this is for you!! I wanted to show appreciation for a legend, talent, and honestly an amazing guy!!

Thanks for reading and be sure to be on the lookout for next week blog.
