Momba's Game

We were playing to 20, and this guy used his height to bully me until he had 16 points and accidentally missed the dunk, and I got the rebound out in the three-point line and quickly took the shot to get my first 2 points. I smiled at him and said that it's time to come back. At this point, he was dead tired, and I was just getting started. I ran away from him quickly and took multiple two pointers to even the score.

On one of the plays, I quickly ran up to him, crossed him over, made him fall and stepped back to the 3 point line, and made the shot. He was so mad but remembered he asked for the match so he couldn't get too mad. I told him game point and ran back to the half-court to give him my signature finishing shot the half-court killer. ( yes I named that shot and will start to name some other moves from now on) At this point, he was too tired to catch up to me, so he let me take a shot to win the game.After the game, everyone watching cheered for Momba, and I gave me the money and said,'' good game." I told him to work on his stamina because if he hadn't gotten tired, he would have won. Of course, in my head, I said you right, no one can beat me. We shake hands, and I leave the gym. Coach K was the only one who noticed I didn't have a single sweat on my face and was thinking I probably didn't even take this game seriously from the beginning, which scared him a little.I got home to do my homework and headed to John's to get him to head to the court with me. When I got there, he was still doing his homework, so I quickly helped him finish it, and we headed out to play ball. Two weeks later, we have our second game, and only Rasta and Akua show up to watch. We play a team called the Bengals, who had a star player SF who was tall and can shoot the ball well, so Coach K had Momba heat check him all game, which crippled the team, making them unable to score effectively.We were winning by 18 points when I came in to play for the last two minutes I quickly dumped 14 points on them by making it rain from the outside which shocked them because they already thought Momba was a beast not knowing we had another hiding tiger waiting to finish them off in case they came back which made them give up on defense, letting me get some steals to pat up my stats.We quickly got the easy win, and I guess the game against me helped Momba level up because he was much better in this game than before. After the game, we went to BK ( Burger King) to celebrate. At this point, they might as well sponsor us because we always go there to celebrate. Tom's(SF) father has a small pizza shop downtown came to talk to me about sponsoring me, so I get excited and ask him how much will I be receiving.He tells me he can do $300 a month since I'm not playing too much but will raise it when I start doing more and recommend me to other businesses and look for tournaments for me to play in so I can get more recognized by the area and to make my brand more popular. So I quickly agree, and he tells me he will send over my first check and contract tomorrow.All I have to do is put a print of his pizza shop name on my uniform and wear his shop brand during games like a headband, and whenever I get interviewed to tell them, they are one of the sponsors. Easy money if you ask me. Rasta who was next to me started to get excited about the thought of making more money talked to me about being my manager while we were on our way home I agree because in my past life we grew apart slowly to the point of never getting in contact again and I don't want to see that happen again.When I got home, I told my mom and sister about the deal I got, and they were excited to see that I was already succeeding in this game. The next day I'm walking home and see a bunch of boys standing around acting like they were waiting for someone. I take a glance and then look away, one of them points at me, and they started approaching me little did they know I was a black belt in my previous life so when they asked if I was Eazy I told them, yes and they pounced on me and tried to jump me.I quickly dodged, and counter struck on all them, and they ended up beaten up black and blue, I ask them who sent them, but they wouldn't budge so I broke one of their fingers and they quickly told me it was my teammate that tried to set me up because I was becoming more famous than he was. I shook my head and told them that he is my teammate and that if they had injured me, they would have injured their city basketball team.They had no clue I was playing with the person that had sent them, but we squashed everything, and I let them go and told them I would have a chat with Darrel later to find out why he would go through such lengths to cripple his teammates. After the weekend and after school, I approach Darrel, and he's surprised to see that I look fine even after ordering the hit.I told him that his plan failed and asked him why. He tells me that he was supposed to be the star player that the team goes to when they need someone to put up points and that he liked Akua and wanted to date her, but I took all that away from him. I slapped him and told him if he wanted to be the star player, he should have practiced harder, and if he wanted Akua, he should of went for her when she was single.At this point he's beyond pissed I slapped him, so I slapped him to the ground and step on his arms threatening to break them if he doesn't change his attitude, I can see the fear in his eyes now, and he begins to beg and swears he will never plot against me and that he will be a better person so I let him go and tell him never to cross me again and if I see him misbehaving I'll take something important from him. I left him there with tears and snot all over his face hoping he has changed for good now.
