My friend

One of the most important things I like is Basketball. My Favorite team is the Sacramento Kings. The reason why they are my favorite team is because the Kings have a All Star Team. If you want to know any more about the Kings, you can go to there official web site at www.nba.com/kings/ .

One of my favorite players in the NBA is Mike Bibby. Why I think Mike Bibby is a good player is because he plays hard an do his best. An I like a player that goes out on the court an try to do his best, this is why I look up to him as a role model, and I like a person that has a positive behavior to all of the players this is called sportsman ship. I believe that every kid needs a role model. Who I select for my role model of 2003 is Mike Bibby from the Sacramento Kings.

Even though the kings missed continuing playoffs because of Chris Webber injury. They are still my favorite team.

To find more about Mike Bibby and any thing else he is doing this summer for Sacramento fans and any of his summer camps that Mike Bibby is doing you can all locate this at www.mikebibby.com

HISTORY of the AND 1 MIX TAPES and MIX TAPE TOUR

The Mix Tape series and the tour it spawned are the result of a collection of random events that, taken separately, wouldn't have amounted to much-and almost didn't. But accidents happen, and those that produce positive results are given the gloss of serendipity. Thank God for it.

The origin of the AND 1 Mix Tape collection came in the guise of a lowly videotape given to AND 1 in late 1998 by Ron Naclerio, the coach of New York's Cardoza High School team who spent his summers coaching AAU kids, including Rafer Alston, whom AND 1 would soon sign—the first basketball shoe endorser to get a deal without a contract from the NBA. The tape was home-video quality--jerky camera moves, poor resolution and nearly indecipherable audio-showing young Alston on the playgrounds and hardwood in and around New York doing, among a host of insane moves, his own signature move from which he earned his nickname "Skip to My Lou."

Hot Sauce is my favorite player because he is sometimes a team player an he is from my hometown Atlanta, Ga. An when he has the ball you don't know what he is going to do next. I like people that keeps you guessing and he keeps you watching the game.
