Hey guys! I think i'm getting a hang of this diary thing..my dad helps me a lot. I had a game with my Gauchos team in Queens at the IS8 tournament. Didn’t feel well and tried to play, but I felt weak. So, I just sat and supported my teammates. Came back home and my temperature was 103.8 smh. My dad took really good care of me by giving me medicine and keeping me hydrated. I slept almost the whole day. I drank some Theraflu (which I have never had before). The next day I woke up a brand new person, it fixed me right up lol. I was happy because I felt like crap the day before…so thanks to my dad for always taking care of me when I’m sick if I’m with him, my mom always does as well.

We have an away game today with my school team and I forgot what team we played, but the gym was so small lol they didn’t have a 3 point line. I had 11 points that game and it was a blow out.

Today we have another game, but this time it’s at home in front of our home crowd. I love home games because my classmates really support us and even the girls team stays to watch us play. Also my dad’s friends usually come out and support as well, like both of my god fathers come support, Rondu and Walter, my mom, my dad, Mylo & Percio, who are brothers who grew up with my dad, my uncle jay, Dun Dun, who is another close friend of my dad, and Jaime. It’s great to have people who support you and want to see you doing good on and off the court.

Stayed with my dad this weekend and my baby sister, who I love so much. She lives in New Jersey. I also have a game at IS8 again in Queens. My dad couldn’t make the game because he had to take care of my little sister Aly’Joi, so my coach Dante and CJ picked me up. We won both of our games and we’re in the championship against Rens next Saturday coming up or the following Saturday since we going to be playing in Maryland at the MIT tournament Feb.17-18th. I’m mad I can’t make this tournament because it’s my little bro’s birthday party the same day as the tournament. I’m sure my teammates will hold it down for me.

So today is Valentine’s Day and it’s the day of Love lmao. I always try to make sure I get my mom something for Vday to show her my appreciation of her giving me life, always taking care of me and teaching me right from wrong. I love both of my parents the same. No in between or one more than the other. I love you MOM & DAD. Today I also had a game at school. The game was no competition as we won 56-26. We played without two of our players. One broke his ankle at recess and the other rolled his ankle at a game. We are going to need both of them for the playoffs if we are trying to win it all.

Good morning guys, so today is my little brothers birthday! He turns 5 today. Happy birthday RJ, I love you! We are having a big All-Star birthday for him tomorrow at Gauchos and everyone has to dress like basketball players with jerseys or any type of basketball gear. It’s going to be so much fun and so many people will be there. Unfortunately I am not able to go to Maryland with my team because my mom wanted me to attend my brother’s party since I’ve been away for his past few birthdays. So I’m happy that I’m able to be there for my brother, but also sad I can’t go battle with my teammates at the MIT tournament.

Today is the party for my little brother. Me and my mom and family been doing a lot of last minute touches for the party. Plus my dad took me to a morning workout since I wasn’t able to go to Maryland just to kind of keep me in shape and still work on my game. The decorations came out great for the party. We had a lot of food and a lot of family came and a lot of my friends as well. We had a great time.

I slept till like 11 am…I was exhausted from the party. Relaxed for a few more hours then my mom took me to my dad’s house so I can spend some time with him. I found out that my team, that’s in Maryland, is playing really well and they are playing against the #1 team in the country, The DreamChasers, for the championship. I’m super excited that they made it far without me.

They ended up losing by 4, but I feel if I went on that trip we would’ve had a greater chance of winning. All in all I’m happy where we are playing as a group and we are really rooting for each other.

I’m out of school for a week and my dad told me that he was going to have me workout with a new trainer called Coach A. He runs the GuardFam training program. I always knew who he was, but never trained with him. I trained with him for an hour and I loved it because it was non-stop and intense. He has so much ambition for the game. I will definitely keep training with him when I have the time.

Today I have a pretty busy day. First at 10 am me and my team have a championship game in Queens for the IS8 winter league. Then later on in the evening, I have an All-Star game I got invited to play in for “Real Skills” in Long Island. We ended up winning the championship game and I got MVP which was a great accomplishment because it means I played well enough to help my team win.

The All-Star game was fun and it was packed with people from all over. Everyone got uniforms and some kids got free Adidas sneakers. Thanks to D from “Real Skills” for always supporting the youth all over NYC. We had all the top players from NYC under one roof from grades 3rd to 8th. My mom, little brother, little sister, my dad, my uncle and my grandfather all came to see me.

See you guys next month
