Poems for basketball players trying to make it to nba

 Started out young, ballin' in the park,  

A hoop dreamer, shootin' shots in the dark.  

The pavement was cracked, the rim bent low,  

But his eyes were on the future, and the game’s glow.  


Every dribble, every sprint, every fadeaway,  

He felt the fire burnin', like it could never decay.  

From the playgrounds to the courts of high school fame,  

He was just a kid with a bigger claim to the game.  


The crowd screamed loud, the lights shone bright,  

But behind those cheers, he was fightin' the fight.  

The grind was real—long hours, hard sweat,  

Every missed shot was a lesson, a debt.  


The road to the league? It ain't paved with gold,  

It’s bruises and cuts, it's the stories untold.  

He had the talent, the skills, the heart to break through,  

But the pressure’s a weight that no one knew.  


College came next, the bright lights, the stage,  

He balled with passion, he balled with rage.  

But the scouts were cold, the competition fierce,  

And every rejection, it hit like a spear.  


But he kept goin', didn’t stop, didn’t fold,  

Chasin' that dream, even when it got old.  

Tough days, lonely nights, doubt in his chest,  

Wondering if the grind would ever bring him the best.  


But that one call changed it all, like fate on cue,  

A draft pick, a chance, the NBA crew.  

The jersey was his, the dream in his hands,  

But the work was still real, the hustle still grand.  


Now he’s in the league, but the journey ain’t done,  

Every game’s a battle, every rival’s a gun.  

It’s highs and lows, it’s pain and glory,  

But he writes his legacy, he tells his story.  


From the streets to the spotlight, the hard knocks to the cheers,  

He never gave up, despite the fears.  

Every baller’s dream is to make that climb,  

To turn his grind into a moment sublime.  


It’s the love for the game, the heart in the play,  

The work that you put in, day by day.  

No matter the losses, no matter the fight,  

A baller’s dream is to shine in that NBA light.
