Brett's heart started racing whenever he thought of it. The idea of a world championship was overwhelming. He had worked his way from high school to college and had now finally ended up in the National Basketball Association. It was his lifetime goal to be here, and to win the championship.
The dream of winning a world championship began long ago. Back then Brett was playing outside in a driveway on an old hoop. Back then Brett was playing on the smallest stage of basketball. Now he had arrived on the biggest stage. The world will be watching. His goal of winning a state championship had been with him his whole life. People often doubted him and told him that he could not go NBA and he could not win a championship. This just made Brett work harder.
He was an underdog to make it to the NBA. His team, the Utah Jazz, was an underdog to make it to the NBA Finals. People were saying that they were going to lose by a lot, because they weren't even supposed to be here. Brett was used to people not believing in him. He had proved them wrong before.
Brett was determined to prove them wrong again by winning the championship. He would fulfill his dreams. After all he had been waiting for this moment for all his life. This was his time to shine. It was his time to show all those people who doubted him that he would accomplish his goal.
