Hello,
My dream or my vision or my real hope is to be a real successful basketball player in either in NBA or EURO ball. i really want to be a basketball player to play for a basketball team. I really do like the game a lot. Always in the search to be better in my game. Always learning of great players from the past and present. I don't know why i like the same sport as my dad which is squash. I do play squash but is seems that it doesn't stream down in my blood. Basketball flow into my veins and always had that burning desire to play basketball.
I know i'm sometimes play emotionally at the basketball at times. Cause i desire to be better at the game. It will be cool, if i get the chance to play in NBA for a basketball team. Imagine, someone you know has gone to the NBA and you know him personally. People will be dieing to know how he is, what he likes, and questions will flow about that person. And the money that NBA gives is just wonderful. If i become a NBA player, hope i will be someone, who can influence the world. A malaysian christian basketball player playing in this team doing some amazing numbers on his record. i know i can't be as great as jordan or kobe or lebron or larry bird or any other NBA player. But someone with great passion for the game.
And the money, i know money is good but i think that i don't need all the money i earn. I can give it to my church for greater good for God's kingdom. The money to help so many lifes to be save their souls for Jesus Christ. Maybe i just have 1/4 of my earning the 3/4 for God's kingdom, if i get to join the NBA or if i'm earning big loads of money. Then maybe make a christian NBA basketball team to go around using basketball to reach out the world, telling Jesus Christ as who He is and the wonderful things that Jesus Christ can Give. Wouldn't it be great.
Everyday i have been dreaming about this. Since the day i first play basketball, i have been dreaming about it. I can imagine the announcer calling me into the basketball court. "Now, this guy, who is from all the way from Asia, standing at 6feet tall, playing the point guard position. Many have nickname him 'flameOn', he brings a firely passion into the game. Now presenting, wearing the number 8 jersey, Joooooeeeelllllll PPPPPaauuuulllllll"......music play. Seeing the crowd as i slow jog in, all standing up, cheering for me. Feeling so electrify and the burn. Give the crowd a good, well deserve game. Commenters saying like "Wow this guys is one amazing fella. He is from malaysia and everyday he says than he train hard and then he came here to actually to study but one of the NBA scouts saw how he play and he was blown away of how this guy, Joel plays in college". "And quickly sign he on to a NBA contact". "Well, i guess he is a role model and a pioneer for kids all over the world especially Malaysia". "i think many NBA scouts are going to head down to South East Asia to scout on new talent to bring into the NBA". "He really put Malaysia on the Map". "And you know what buddy", "what", "he doesn't just play basketball, he helps full time in churchs, bring someone that is influencing people to follow Christ". "He is one strong believer in Christ, well buddy i think i want to be a christian too, is not because of him but he has show how God is wonderful to many people lifes". "Yea, you are right buddy" and so on so on so on. I think it would be cool.
I know many people of you guys and even my parents say i can't make it. Saying like NBA is a Blackman sport is not for you Yellowman. They will outrun you, out play you, out jump you, and etc. You have to be at least 6'2 feet tall to play basketball. You can't dunk. So much Negativesness. No wonder people are narrow minded. And just full of negativeness. I have just block all this thoughts and just move on as God leads me. If God really wants me there, He will provide the way. I know many also have encourage me on this. But yet again, is all God decision which i also must make. Well is my dream, my vision. =)
Every night i can just hear the people cheering, seeing people getting save, and lives change. i see me doing like 17.3 points per game, 2.3 steals per game, 2.9 rebounds per game, 6.4 assist per game. i know is not amazing numbers. But is something realistic. I wish some NBA scout would be reading this post and he will fly down here to search for me and ask me to show him some moves that i know, and whether i would able to play the NBA. I will be praying for it.
Dear NBA scout, if you are reading this post, feel free to contact me at zenderzous@yahoo.com to make arrangements to meet. Don't try to fake me out. If you cheat me, God will know and God will never forget. God bless
Yours sincerely,
