Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 3 Activity 2

Activity 2: Defying the Odds [4 points]
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.
For this activity, we would like you to imagine that you had the chance to interview LeBron James, Steven Adams or another basketball player of your choice.
On your blog, tell us who you would interview and then provide a list of five questions that you would like to ask your chosen player.

  2. Kia Ora Lukas,

    Good job thinking up some interesting questions for Lebron James. I’m sure that Lebron James is constantly learning and developing his basketball skills so he can play better. Do you watch the NBA at all? My boyfriend is a big fan of basketball so there is always a game of basketball on our TV whether it’s a game from New Zealand, Australia or the United States.

    Did you get the images from the Lakers website? It would be a good idea to attribute where you got these images from, so the person who owns the photos gets credit. Check out our quick tutorial about how to correctly attribute photos here: https://sites.google.com/site/summerlearningjourney/cybersmart.

    Keep up the awesome work!

    Blog ya later,

    Dani
