Practice has me exhausted this morning, I am a great basketball player for the Washington Wizards. You know the American basketball team. The coach was really on us today  
I love basket ball at least I used to back when Michael Jordan and John Stockton etc used to play
I met Jordan! He is also in the NBA (National Basketball Association) 
That is a once in a lifetime opportunity, sounds like you have had a full career 
Ever since we were re-branded as the Wizards in 1997
you must be an older player, at what age do players usually retire
Hopefully not too young. I'm getting up there in age! I hope not to for a while. I have been watching basketball since 1978 when the Wizards won NBA Finals, I knew what I wanted to do with my whole life. 
that is really coll most people dont have a clue never the less able to make it pro
