I was a tall guy back then in the homes , so when I came to class 8 ,my buddies pushed me to join the basketball team .
So I signed up to be a member of the team . Mr Xavier was the coach and yeah he was pretty good . So we start practise ,and after few days of practise he says Mel your height is great ,but you need to move faster .So I told him Im learning and Im getting interested .And yeah i was a good shooter /good with the lay ups ,just that i moved slowly .
After a week he says mel your of the team , I felt down and sad because I was getting Interested and just had this dream of being the first five . Since then i never played basketball . Now I coach local kids in my area and my team has made it to the city basketball champions ..... Just a thank you note to Mr Xavier ( DGH Basketball coach) you may have started my dream in basketball , but you never spiced it up for me to know that deep in my self I had the talent .
