The Ball There I was standing at the three-point line, ball in hands, three seconds to go, down by two, it's the championship game. I'm double-teamed, woosh I let go of the ball. "Ting!" The ball starts rolling in the hoop. Beep! Buzzer goes off, swish the ball goes in. The crowd looked like the running of the bulls, stampeding right at me. Crush, big center picks me up. All the sudden it feels like a mosh pit. The team is getting lifted up. The coach said pizza on me so the team rushed to the pizza parlor and pigged out on all sorts of pizza. Pepperoni, C. bacon, cheese, meat lovers, veggie, and pop. One night I was walking and dribbling the ball to practice and "Flash" I was Rasheed walking to practice. I get to the Rose Garden where I saw all the players I finished practice but I couldn't get out of Rasheed's body, now I was kind of freaked out, it was like I was in a haunted house but I couldn't get out. I tried to dribble the same way I was when I went in Rasheed's body. I was so mad I got in my car and drove to Scappoose. I could see myself walking to practice so I stopped. I got out of the car walked over to me then Rasheed started talking to me but in my body but right when I touched the ball I was in my body and I asked if he could come to my practice and he said sure. So the whole thing started because of that marvelous ball. So I got free tickets to every home game the next season. Somethimes I can go into other players not just Rasheed Wallace. I still have the ball that I won the game with. Baseball and Football that is a whole different ballgame. by Chance
At the pizza parlor I got the championship trophy. It was magnificent. It had shiny gold and silver even a guy at the top. During the pizza party I clutched the game winning ball. It felt like a surge of elctricity went through my whole body. Then all of the sudden I as 6'5" and I had a blazer uniform on. I was Rasheed Wallace at the playoff against L.A. Lakers. Beep, the buzzer goes off the lakers have the ball so I run and start guarding Kobe Bryant. He takes the shot "wham" I stuff him. I got the ball so I run down the court pass it to Scottie Pippen, he takes the shot "swish" he scores. At the end of the quarter the score is 37 to 34 blazers lead. In the 2nd quarter I run get the ball, jump as though I was soaring like an eagle. Clunk 2 points go on the score board, I did it, I slamdunked the ball. At the end of the game the score was 113 to 106 the Blazers won. I, or Rasheed scored 42 points during that game "Boom" then I was back in my old body and I asked the team if they would sign the magical basketball.
