[college] basketball!eren

—ᡣ𐭩 headcanons a/n: guys i’m back in the waiting room (& it’s fkn hot today)……… let’s write some headcanons!!

a few points i've made in my bf!eren headcanons:

in basketball games against certain colleges, bf!eren gets so fired up and aggressive and lippy. he talks so much shit on the court (he's known for it), and isn't afraid to take shit either (which pisses off the other team, and the whole cycle starts again). but, it's a bonus for you when he gets off the court because he's looking extra hot..... and he knows it...... asshole

you wear bf!eren's spare jersey to his basketball games

bf!eren with a chain under his basketball jersey, his hair tied back and a thin headband, tape on his dodgy shoulder......... oh lordy

bf!eren's post-game meal is 3 big macs and 2 mcchickens AND a kids nugget meal (he wants to give you the toy that comes with it because he’s cute) but don’t forget dessert!! he sips his *diet* coke as a palate cleanser and then inhales an apple pie

bf!eren gets a job coaching a kids' basketball team, and that is a canon event

now i will elaborate....

basketball!eren wears nba jerseys in everyday life with sweat shorts & dunks/vans/birkenstocks (with socks) he is an effortlessly stylish college athlete ok he can pull off anything

basketball!eren has a piece of sports tape around his wrist with your name written in marker <3 (points to it whenever he scores if you aren’t there (e.g. games on the other side of the country), otherwise his finger is on you in the crowd)

whenever his favourite team is playing (call him basic, call him a bandwagon, but my man is in love with steph curry, so you know he supports golden state) & he can’t watch at home on the tv, basketball!eren sits and watches it on his phone (warning: he will speak to the phone like the team can hear him so keep an eye on him in public, especially at the library because he will yell)

basketball!eren got mvp in sophomore year (jean was like 2 points behind him) and he holds it over jean’s head because he is cheeky and a dick

basketball!eren wears a suit to and from his games (specifically a navy one with a white shirt, no tie, and its just so rahhhhhh) with his headphones on and a large cup of black coffee

now, i don't want to expose basketball!eren here, but in his headphones, only on game days, he plays taylor swift & rihanna

basketball!eren texts you nonstop when he's on the bus/plane to games (because connie is his seatmate (he loves him to death) but connie knocks the fuck out on these trips so eren gets very bored)

basketball!eren wears his hair in 2 styles when he plays: completely tied back with a thin headband or fully out with a thin headband (frothing over here sorry don't look at me: heavy emphasis on the 2nd style though)

basketball!eren has like a couple hundred thousand followers on instagram because he's a college basketball player and he's good and hot as fuck

basketball!eren posts photo dumps once a fortnight as a wrap-up for that time period because his life is so crazy hectic that he always has content for a new dump (i wish he was real guys)

basketball!eren loves loves showing you off (private but not secret on social media) & buying you gifts (instagram stories of your wrist with the new bracelet he gifted you for your birthday)

basketball!eren gets drafted in his senior year of college :') (chooses to graduate first and then go to the nba - he wasn't studying biomedical science for nothing!!! (not that he needs it anymore.......))

basketball!eren gets rookie of the year in his first season (crying)

 Kevin Durant Shines as USA Basketball Opens Olympic Campaign with a Big Win

Kevin Durant, the champion forward for USA B-ball, was as of late informed that Spencer Haywood was a piece annoyed — however flippantly — about Durant crushing his Olympic scoring normal record. Durant, ever the great game, got over it with a smile, saying, "Spencer will be OK. Records are intended to be broken. Someone will take mine, as well."

What's more, with the manner in which Durant acted in the U.S's. 110-84 triumph over Serbia, it seems as though his records could remain in one piece for some time. The four-time Olympian didn't get to play in any of the five warm-up games because of a calf injury, yet he was back furiously. Off the seat, Durant was basically relentless, hitting 8-of-9 field objectives and nailing each of the five of his three-point endeavors, wrapping up with a game-high 23 focuses.

"Gracious, man, [the miss] felt incredible leaving my hands. I certainly needed to complete the game great," Durant said with that mark grin of his.

Durant's Record-Breaking Profession

Kevin Durant isn't simply one more player in the group — he's the top scorer in USA Ball history with an amazing 435 focuses north of 23 Olympic games. This incorporates a stunning 156 focuses during the 2012 London Olympics, establishing a men's standard. Spencer Haywood, who recently held the record with 145 focuses from the 1968 Mexico City Games, should offer his appreciation to Durant's accomplishment.

Notwithstanding his Olympic accomplishments, Durant likewise holds the record for the most elevated focuses per game during the Olympics for USA Ball with a normal of 19.8. We should not fail to remember his presentation in the 2010 World Cup, where he scored 205 focuses in nine games for the U.S. gold-decoration group. That is a significant commitment to the game!

Durant Beats Injury to Lead Group

Regardless of certain difficulties, for example, the expulsion of forward Kawhi Leonard from the program during the instructional course in Las Vegas, Durant's mentor, Steve Kerr, never questioned his worth to the group. Durant missed the show games because of injury however was anxious to get once more into it. After a 5-on-5 scrimmage in Paris, Durant felt prepared to get back to the court.

"I would have rather not botched the valuable chance to get one more opportunity at a gold," Durant made sense of. "I knew such countless extraordinary players planned to commit, as well. Along these lines, I needed to associate with those folks too. You're out there with the best mentors and players. It's unimaginable. I simply need to be on the floor, man. Being with the folks, getting better consistently, and venturing to the far corners of the planet — that is perhaps of the best involvement with ball."

Ruling the Game Against Serbia

In their initial round of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the U.S. gone head to head against Serbia at the Pierre Mauroy Arena on July 28. Serbia, drove by 2024 NBA MVP Nikola Jokić, took a mid 10-2 lead over the Americans. Durant, who ordinarily isn't a seat player, entered the game with 2:33 left in the principal quarter, as the U.S. followed 19-14.

Durant burned through no time having an effect. His previously shot, a three-pointer, went in only 17 seconds after he checked in. By halftime, Durant had scored 21 focuses on amazing shooting. He helped push the U.S. to a 58-49 lead at the break, scoring 15 focuses in the second quarter alone.

"The subsequent gathering came in and gave us a major lift. KD was sensational. It's practically similar to he never thought twice, a training, a game or anything. That was a decent beginning for us," U.S. forward LeBron James said.

"KD was unimaginable in the primary half and gave us a major lift," U.S. watch Stephen Curry added.

Durant's Heavenly Presentation and Future Objectives

Durant didn't miss a shot until his 10th and last field objective endeavor. At the point when he left the game in the final quarter, the horde of around 27,000 at the Pierre Mauroy Arena acclaimed him. Durant later referenced that his body felt perfect and that he was excited to add to the group's prosperity.

Looking forward, the U.S. will point toward the South Sudan on Wednesday. Durant has no second thoughts about falling off the seat and is prepared to adjust to anything job the group needs him to play.

"I let Mentor know that anything he really wants me to do, I'll adjust to anything," Durant said. "It's forever been fun attempting to adjust to new jobs and everything that the game is attempting to say to me to do."

A Get-together and an Excursion

Durant's down against Serbia was additionally outstanding for his warm gathering with previous Brilliant State Fighters partner Stephen Curry. The two traded a genuine hug before the game, thinking back about their past triumphs. Curry and Durant, who brought home two NBA championships and made three NBA Finals together, additionally shared some personal time together in Las Vegas during instructional course.

"We certainly discussed a few great times we had together," Durant shared. "[Curry is] Simply a unimaginable person. I'm anticipating getting to know these folks on a more profound level as of now."

Life in Lille and Then some

The USA Ball groups are as of now playing their fundamental games in the Lille region, remaining there the prior night games. They practice in Paris and will probably play in the quarterfinals on August 6 (men's) or August 7 (ladies'). Durant, who has visited Paris previously, is encountering Lille interestingly and is amped up for the outing.

"I'm amped up for being in Paris. I've generally cherished France and its way of life. So whenever I get to visit another spot, another city, I'm down," Durant said.

Adjusting Gold Awards and NBA Titles

Durant is pursuing his record fourth Olympic award with the intensely preferred USA Ball group. At the point when gotten some information about what holds more weight — a gold decoration or a NBA title — Durant offered a smart viewpoint.

"You don't look at them. It's two unique things," Durant made sense of. "It's two unique mountains you must ascend. It's high tops in the two of them. In our reality, a NBA title is more regarded. However, in certain regions of the planet, the Olympic level is more regarded."

"Thus, I esteem both on the grounds that triumphant is significant. I love my USA B-ball family and we'll check whether we can go get another," Durant finished up.

As Durant gears up until the end of the competition and his forthcoming NBA season with the Phoenix Suns, where he'll play close by new partners and another mentor, he stays zeroed in on the two his Olympic and NBA objectives. The street ahead is loaded up with commitment and energy, and Durant is prepared to handle everything.

No idea how Penny Taylor makes the Naismith list...actually, I do- this is what happens when you're married to Diana. I can definitely see how she gets accolades for being on the Australian national team, but in terms of the WNBA, she's...solid, had a strong career. But basketball hall of fame? No. It diminishes the prestigiousness of the award when they give it to just anybody. This is a miss.

Wow! You're very upset. You have a lot of emotions about Penny Taylor becoming a Naismith candidate.

Where are your paragraphs about all the other candidates? Do you have anything to say about them? Or do you focus all your negative energy on Penny? What is it about Penny Taylor that awakens the rage wolf inside of you? Do her championships upset you? Her All-WNBA and All-Star selections? What about her Olympic and World Cup medals?

What about the fact that she is the 2006 tournament MVP responsible for Australia's only international basketball gold? Australian men and women have never won international gold in soccer. Australian men have never won international gold in Basketball. But Australian women have won international gold in basketball due to the efforts of a woman named Penny Taylor.

There are tons of NBA players in Naismith who have careers like Penny's. So I don't think Penny's basketball career actually inspired this tantrum of yours.

I think you just have an obsessive hatred for the person Penny has chosen to spend her life with.

Leaving Thunder, Bucks off the NBA's Christmas game list has those teams feeling snubbed

Neither will play on Christmas Day this year. Bah, humbug.

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer Oklahoma City leads the Western Conference and has a MVP candidate in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Milwaukee has the NBA’s leading scorer in Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Furthermore, why I specifically chose Cleveland Cavaliers is not only because the design I want is simliar, the reason I can think of it straight away is becuase of him, he made the most classic serier in the NBA history in my opinion, which is Warriors vs Cavaliers, this made my childhood.

He is the GOAT (Geatest of all time), the only one LeBron James, he is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "King James", he is widely recognized as one of the best players in the sport's history and is often compared with Michael Jordan in debates on the greatest basketball player of all time. James has won four NBA championships from 10 NBA Finals appearances, having made eight consecutive appearances between 2011 and 2018. He also won the inaugural NBA Cup in 2023 with the Lakers, three Olympic gold medals as a member of the U.S. national team, and the Olympics MVP in the 2024 Summer Olympics.

In addition to being the NBA's all-time leading scorer and ranking fourth in NBA career assists and eighth in NBA career steals, James holds several individual honors: four NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, four NBA Finals MVP Awards, the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, three NBA All-Star Game MVP Awards, and the inaugural NBA Cup MVP award. He has been named an NBA All-Star a record 20 times, selected to the All-NBA Team a record 20 times (including a record 13 First Team selections)[3][4] and the All-Defensive Team six times (including five First Team selections), and was a runner-up for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award twice in his career. The oldest active player in the NBA, he is tied with Vince Carter for the record for the most seasons played in league history, with 22.

Go back to personal branding, same reason as the post before, so In will consider the colour palatte into my logo.
