My Top 5 Favourite Basketball Players to Watch

  By: A'mare Lammie Basketball is one of the most exciting sports ever, and some players just make the game even more fun to watch. They’ve got style, skills, and serious moves. These are my top 5 favourite players to watch , and every time they’re on the court, I can’t look away!  1. Kyrie Irving – Handles Like Magic Kyrie is like an artist with the ball. His dribbling is next level . He can spin, cross over, and get to the hoop with crazy smooth layups. When Kyrie plays, it’s like watching a basketball video game!  2. Stephen Curry – The 3-Point King Steph can shoot from anywhere—and I mean anywhere . Half-court? No problem. His quick release and deep threes are insane. He makes the crowd go wild and always plays with a big smile on his face. 🔥  3. Allen Iverson – The Original Ankle Breaker AI might be retired, but watching his highlights is still amazing. He was small but fearless, fast, and had handles that could break anyone’s ankles. Plus, his swagge...

If I Had a Superpower, It Would Be...

By: A'mare Lammie Have you ever dreamed about having a superpower? I think about it all the time! If I could have any superpower, it would be the power to teleport, which means I could go anywhere in the world in just one second! Here’s why teleportation would be the coolest superpower ever: 1. I Could Travel Anywhere If I had teleportation powers, I could visit any place I wanted. Want to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Boom,  I’m there. Craving a slice of New York pizza? Zap! I’m eating it in seconds. No more long car rides or boring airplane trips. I could go anywhere, anytime!  2. No More Being Late for School Let’s be honest, waking up early is hard . But with teleportation, I could wake up five minutes before school starts and still be on time! I’d never miss the bus or get stuck in traffic. School would start feeling a lot easier!  3. I Could Help People If someone was in danger or needed help, I could teleport there and help them fast. I could rescue people from...

How I Stay Organized During the School Year

 By A'mare Lammie Staying organized during the school year can be tough! Between homework, sports, friends, and chores, it’s easy to forget things. But over time, I’ve learned some tricks that help me stay on top of everything. Here’s how I stay organized and how you can too!  1. I Use a Planner I write down my homework, tests, and important dates in a small planner. If I don’t write it down, I will forget! I check it every morning and before bed so I always know what’s coming. Tip: You can also use a whiteboard or sticky notes on your wall.  2. I Keep My Backpack Clean Every Friday, I clean out my backpack. I throw away old papers, organize my folders, and make sure I have what I need for next week. A messy backpack = a messy brain! Tip: Use colour-coded folders for each subject so everything is easy to find.  3. I Set a Homework Schedule After school, I take a short break and then do my homework. I try to start around the same time every day. It helps my brain g...

What AAU Basketball Gets Right (And Wrong)

  By A'mare Lammie AAU basketball gives kids a chance to play on teams outside of school. Many NBA players started in AAU. But even though it can be awesome, there are some things it could do better. Let’s check out what AAU gets right and wrong .  What AAU Gets Right 1. More Games, More Fun Players get to play in lots of games and travel to different places. And it’s really exciting! 2. Competition Makes You Better You play against strong players, which helps you improve your skills. 3. Meet People From Everywhere Tournaments bring kids together from all over the country. 4. College Coaches Are Watching Older kids can get noticed by college scouts and maybe even earn scholarships.  What AAU Gets Wrong 1. Too Many Games, Not Enough Practice Some teams focus more on winning games than teaching skills. That can be a problem for young players. 2. Can Be Too Expensive AAU can cost a lot of money—for travel, uniforms, and team fees. Not all families can afford i...
