My first topic I experienced with is when I became a Washington Wizards fan. My father took me to a game back in my freshman year of high school where the Washington Wizards went head to head up against my favorite team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Being a Sixers Fan since birth, I never came to the game with any expectations to ever root for the Wizards. Well my Father has one of the coolest jobs in the world where he interviews athletes. Following the Wizards victory of the Sixers, my Father introduced me to his world. He took me down on the court and into the Wizards locker room to meet some of the players. It was then that I was introduced to Gilbert Arenas, my new favorite athlete. As I met him, he turned into his locker to grab something, it was his shoes that he wore that night. He then handed them to me asking if I had a sharpie. Quick to act, my Father pulled one out of his coat pocket and handed it to him. He then signed the shoes. Ironically, Gilbert Arenas attended the University of Arizona, the same school I attend today. Ever since that night I have been a die-hard fan of the Washington Wizards.
Current Thoughts on this Topic:
- What is your favorite basketball team?
- Who is your all time favorite athlete?
- Have you ever had an experience that changed the way you felt about something?
- Have you ever stepped foot inside a Professional Sports Team's locker room?
