It was a lovely afternoon on the 15th of December at Oracle Arena in Oakland. It was game seven in the NBA finals series and it was the most important game of my life. Mickey Bebb in the bright blue jersey just before tip-off. Before the warm up we got to talk to Mickey about his journey to the NBA. “It was an amazing journey. When I was just a small kid our little village got bombed. So all we had for a house was a tiny little shelter. As I got older I got really into basketball and ever since then basketball has been my passion and my dream was always to play for the Golden State Warriors. So here I am on one of the world’s biggest stages!” Mickey is a 20 year old basketball phenomenon. He has luscious short black hair and bright blue eyes. His hobbies are… basketball, gaming, youtube and watching the beastly All Blacks.
It is tip-off and Surprisingly enough it is his birthday today! Looks like for Mickey’s special day he is starting. The tip-off goes to warriors and Mickey finds his six foot 11 center Luke Atienza for the easy bucket. With his first assist of the game the Warriors were up 2-0. At the middle of the first quarter Mickey got taken out of the game when the score was 14-25 to the Boston Celtics. The Warriors were getting smashed! Mickey stayed off the rest of the quarter. When he came back on at the start of the second quarter the warriors were somehow losing 24-40! Then he went on. The first play in the second quarter I pulled up for a three and I swished it! Then I went on a hot streak and score 16 points in the second quarter! And my awesome teammates racked up 16 points as well in the second quarter! At halftime the score was tied at 56 all. In the locker rooms the coach was telling us all the set moves and what we need to improve and keep up.
At the start of the second half I got off to a horrible start! I went 6/18 in the third quarter! I had a terrible third quarter and our coach took me out for most of the fourth quarter. But when he subbed me in there was 10 seconds on the clock and we had the ball. With ten seconds left on the clock it was now or never! We were down by two we either go for the tie or the win. I will always go for the win so I pulled up for a three with two seconds left on the clock in the defender's face! As I watched the ball fly into the air my heart was beating as fast as a hungry cheetah who hasn’t eaten in two weeks! I SWISHED IT! WE WON THE NBA FINALS!!!!!!! After the win I was named finals MVP.
