Hello, my name is J. Ball the 3rd. I am 16 years old. I have a mother, a father, a younger brother, and a younger sister. My mother's name is Janet and she is a business lady. My father named is J. Ball the 2nd and he is a Basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers. My little siblings’ names are Quinn and Kayla.
One day, I was just in my bed. When I woke up, I realized that I hit a MASSIVE growth spurt. I used to be 5’9, now I am 6’5. “LET’S GO!!” I said with excitement.
Quinn came in my room and asked me, “Jaydon, what is all of this commotion!?” I told him everything that happened. He was so proud of me.
My dad came in and was surprised about the results I got. “OH MY GOSH, IS THIS MY SON!?” my dad said.
I responded, “yes sir.”
He said, “Bae, call 911 there’s a grown man in my house.”
“No wait dad” I said. He looks at me in disbelief and stood beside me.
“LORD HAVE MERCY SON!!!” “Soon you’ll be taller than me and your mother.” He’s right, because my mom is 6’8 and my dad is 7’1.
My mom came in my room and said, “Wow son, and people was talking about you’ll never get tall, now look at you 6’5.” “Now go downstairs to eat breakfast then after breakfast, we can talk about what type of skit videos you should create” said my mom.
I went to the mailbox after breakfast. When I look in the mailbox, I saw a basketball flyer. It said, “Hello everyone, in Beverly Hills we have a basketball tournament this Saturday at 3:00pm there are 8 rounds, and the winner will get $10,000,000.”
I went back in the house and told me parents about the basketball tournament this Saturday. My dad told me, “Sorry bud, but I have to be at the Staple Stadium at 3:00 because I am going to Memphis.”
But my mom was willing to take me to the basketball tournament. I was so happy and thank her.
It was Friday morning, I’m still asleep in my comfy bed.
“WAKE UP!!!!” my dad yelled.
I rolled over and fell on the floor.
“Dad, it’s 5:00!!” I said to my dad.
He told me, “Ok so, we have one whole day to practice.”
“Ok dad” I said back to him.
It’s six o’clock in the morning. My dad turned the background into a Basketball Arena.
“Alright son now come over here and practice your shooting” said my dad.
“yes sir” I said to my dad.
I didn’t miss any shots and my dad was so proud of me.
“Ok son, now dunk” said my dad.
I asked him, “You sure dad?”
“Heck yea boy!!” said my dad.
So, I went up to the half court, ran up to the rim and jumped as high as I could. Then I dunked the ball in the rim.
“LET’S GO!!” I said with cheer and pride.
Me and my dad was so happy. After practice, we went to Panera Bread. Me and my dad ordered a Grill Chicken Wrap with a Banana Smoothie.
“Hmmm, this food is delicious” I said to my dad.
My dad responded, “It sure is, it sure is.”
After we left Panera Bread, we went to the basketball court in Beverly Hills.
“WOW! This place looks amazing” I said in excitement.
“It sure does son” said my dad.
Me and my dad spent the rest of the day practicing until the sun went down.
The next morning, my mom took me and my friend to the tournament. When we got there, there weren’t that many people there. The people that were playing were either shorter than me or the same height as me.
Someone came up to us and said, “Hello my named is Shawn and I am playing in the tournament.”
I introduced myself to him, “Hello Mr. Shawn, my named is Jaydon Ball and I am also playing in the tournament.”
Shawn walked up closer to me and said, “Well Jaydon, I’ll see you on the court.”
I responded, “Ok I hope to see your Naruto looking behind lose.”
Shawn growled at me like he was a rottweiler.
The host came on the court and said, “WELCOME FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO OUR ANNUAL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AND WHOEVER WINS THIS TOURNAMENT GETS $10,000,000!!!!”
Finally, the host called me, and my friends named, “JAYDON BALL AND CARMELO SMITH!!!!”
It was me and Carmelo against 2 players on the other team. Me and Carmelo got the ball first. I ran to our hoop, Carmelo tossed me the ball, and I dunked the ball. The crowd went crazy.
It’s the 3rd quarter and we are winning 30 to 12. Carmelo tosses me the ball again. I ran to our hoop and someone from the other team tripped me. I landed on my back and I was in pain. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play anymore, and I was rolled out on a stretcher.
My friend ran over to me and said, “hey bro, you’re going to be ok?”
I nodded my head and told him I’ll be better than ok.
I went to the hospital and my doctor told me I’ll be ok. He also told me to be careful next time and take a break from sports for a week.
Of course, I was upset and wanted to say some unnecessary things to my doctor. Instead, I just listen to him.
Back home, I just went to the movie room to clear my mind. Of course, I’m not going to be sitting on my butt for a week. I’m going to practice everyday so I can come back better and stronger next time.
“JAYDON!!” said my mom.
“Yes ma’am?” I responded.
“Come here” Said my mom.
I responded, “Ok mom.”
In the kitchen, my mom was whipping up some organic meats and vegetables. It looks so good.
My mom asked, “How are you doing.”
I told her, “I’m doing great.”
“Well, that’s good to hear” said my mom.
“Now, dinner is ready go have a seat” said my mom.
I took a seat and ate my food. After dinner, I went to the movie room to watch some YouTube videos.
The next morning, I heard a knock at my door. When I open the door, it was my friend.
“What’s up bro” I said.
He responded, “Nothing much.” “Hey, you remember that tournament yesterday?”
I responded, “yeah, what about it?”
He said, “Well…. I won!!”
I said, “What??”
“Yep, anyway I came here to split the money with you” he said.
“OMG, really?” I asked him.
“Heck yea, after all you are my best friend” he said.
I really appreciate this bro” I said to him.
I’m saving my money to buy a house in Bowling Green, Kentucky. After I buy a house, I am going to give it to my grandparents. I already brought a house in Louisville, Kentucky.
