LeBron James is one of the most famous professional basketball players in the world. He currently plays in the NBA (National Basketball Association) for the Los Angeles Lakers. He has won numerous awards over the years, helping his teams win many important games.

Steven Adams also plays in the NBA, but unlike LeBron, Steven comes from Rotorua, New Zealand and is the half-brother of Olympic gold medalist Valerie Adams. That’s a pretty cool family connection, isn’t it?! Steven Adams currently lives in the United States and plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team.






Despite being born in different countries, these two incredible basketballers have a number of similarities. Both men came from humble beginnings. Neither of their families had a lot of money, and neither man grew up with a father at home. Even though they faced challenges, they were able to overcome them. Both men are examples of what is possible when you work hard and believe in yourself.

  1. Who/What has motivated you to play basketball?
  2. How did it feel once you got selected for the Chicago Bulls?
  3. Do you like your position when you play? If not what will you change your position too? 
  4. How did you feel playing the 15 seasons, was it worth the 6 wins? 
  5. Did you want to become a basketball player before this all happen? If so, what path would you go Studying? Other sports? a different career.

Superpowers!

Summer Learning Journey Task Description:

Jonah Lomu was a rugby superstar. He was the youngest ever All Black, selected at just 19 years of age. He went on to have an amazing career that included 63 caps (international games) and 37 tries. Jonah was Tongan, but spent most of his childhood in Mangere, South Auckland. He started out playing touch rugby and rugby league but changed over to rugby union and quickly made a name for himself. He was very tall, strong and fast.

Richie McCaw is another example of a famous rugby player. He was the captain of the All Blacks between 2004 and 2015. Like Jonah Lomu, he had an outstanding international career in rugby union and had many achievements. In fact, he was the most capped All Black captain, most capped test rugby player and World Rugby Player of the Year in 2006, 2009, and 2010. He has been given a Halberg Award and made a member of the Order of New Zealand. As well as being an outstanding player, Richie McCaw was also a strong leader and captain. 

For many people, players like Jonah Lomu and Richie McCaw are superheroes with extra special ‘superpowers.’

For this activity, let’s imagine that you could be a superhero for a day. What three superpowers would you most like to have?
On your blog, please list the three superpowers, tell us why you have chosen each one, and tell us what you are going to do with them.

Ok, So it's my time to explain what are the three powers that I will be!

1.) It will have to be 'Nature'. If your thinking "What do you mean by that?" and have no clue what I mean by this is. What heroes need to do is save humanity & the world, right? So I'm talking about saving the world (earth) If I use my powers to save all plants, trees, flowers and the environment it will affect life on earth to be easier to live!

2.) Telekinesis, Telekinesis is a handy superpower too. Using it to save people from danger, heights, falling & life-threatening situations (If I'm ever in one) Grabbing items in seconds make a whole group of differences, but I wouldn't like to be lazy so I'll use it for emergencies! 

3.) Levitating, Flying will be one of the coolest of superpowers! I'll just fly up into the sky and look for trouble to release.  

I still have a few more and what I mean by that is a lot more where that came from! I enjoyed this task very much see you in another blog post!
