Elijah just finished his basketball season this past weekend & received his 1st trophey. This boy of ours lives, eats, breathes basketball. Grandpa Ricky gave him a bunch of VHS specials on Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, & Larry Bird and the boy has watched them all multiple times. He has already incorporated one of Magic's infamous behind the head passes into his game. Elijah recently was grounded from his loved sport for one week for some behavior hickups. We needed to remind him that people are more important than that game & the way you treat people. His biggest worry during the grounding was "I might not get into the NBA because Im not practicing." He is 100% serious about this sport. This passion started as a baby. When grandparents would ask for gift ideas for Elijah . . . . all we could say was "Balls"......that is all he wanted to play with. We are interested to see where his commitment & passion for this game takes him.
