It's Drakezilla here,and today I'm writing about Hoop Dreams ,a documentary about these 2 teenage boys Aurther Agee and William Gates.Your going to read about the difficulties Aurther and William face when they are chasing their dreams to play in the NBA. So, when you read this it will make you relize life is not fair.

William Gates an average African-American teenager from the projects of Chicago. But people didn't know that he is a great basketball player and now people are starting to reconize his talent. This guy named Earl Smith wants to sponcer William and William goes to one of the best basketball programs in the state, St. Joseph. William starts his first 2 years of High School really good, exspeacily in basketball, but then in his Junior year he toor a ligament in his knee. Oh, also in that same year he had a baby girl at 17 years old. In his Senior year of High School he signed with Marquette University, but he quite playing basketball in college because he thought now basketball was job,so he became a social worker.

Aurther Agee lived in a neighborhood close to the projects. In the begining of the documentary Aurther was this short, little skinny dood, but later he got tall and buff. Earl Smith also sponcered Aurther and Aurther went to St. Joseph. But after a year Aurther's parents couldn't pay, so Aurther left and went to Marshall Metro High School. Then after 20 years of marriage his dad left because he was doing drugs and got arrested. Then Aurther's dad came back and asked everybodys for forgiveness, but Aurther wasn't ready to forgive him, but finaly he did. In his Senior year his team placed 3rd in the state and later he went to Arkansas State.

Aurther and William face many of the same incounters. When they were at the end of 8th grade Earl Smith tried his hardest to to help Aurther and Will to sign to St. Joseph and he did. Aurther did drop out of St. Joseph, but they they both did great in their basketball programs. At the end of the documentary they both needed to improve their grades if they wanted to go to college and they both did go to college. Sadly they both did not make it to the NBA.

Aurther now has 2 kids and his own sports line called Hoop Dreams. William is a father, a husband, and now social worker. Now I hope you relize life is not fair. The Drakezilla signing off my computer.
