Chapter 211 - His Airness

After spending a crazy night with Riri I had to be up bright and early the next day for a game with the Houston Rockets. This was when Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming were playing together, luckily I wasn't going to be playing against them in this game. They were a good team at that time with young men, the big guy Yao and Tracy were unstoppable.

They had me matched up with Aaron Brooks, who was a good point guard but he definitely wasn't going to stop me from scoring. When we came on the court all we heard was screams, girls cheering, the media taking pictures. I had to give them a show today and which I did by the end of the first quarter we were up by 30 points.

This was no longer a game but we were just destroying them little by little. I went to sit down for the rest of the game and even before that, on one of the plays I had stolen the ball and was the only one running down the court since the Houston Rockets rookies and sophomores had given up so they didn't even bother chasing after me.

I decided to give the crowd a show as I ran up full speed and jumped from the free throw line gliding in the air as I stretched both my legs out ċȯċked, my right arm above my head and stretched out my left hand. I was going to do the Jordan dunk. All I saw was flashes going off as the cameramen were enjoying this scene.

I swear it was a whole minute that I was in the air, it felt like I was touching the clouds and that nobody could stop me. My teammates and even the Houston rocket members had their mouths wide open as they looked in admiration. I floated through the air and slammed it as hard as I can and jumped back down, looked back at everybody and raised both of my arms as the whole place went crazy.

"Wow Steve did you see that dunk!" the commentators were excited. 

"That's the next Air Jordan right now" 

"What can we call? the second Jordan?" 

"That dunk was incredible, it looked just like Jordan, maybe he even did it better". 

The commentators were just beyond excited and the fact that somebody can mimic Jordan's dunk and make it even look better.

"It seems like his training with Dr J helped him a lot with his dunking skills, this is quite incredible feat and his ratings are definitely going to go up" 

"He's not only going to be known as a shooter but also a dunker, hopefully we'll be able to see him in the dunk contest as well as the free 3 point contest, Bob what do you think?"

"I think that was amazing Steve, this kid is great he's going to walk on clouds in the future, I can't wait to see what he does, let's get back to the game then".

In the second half I was just sitting on the bench bored as hell we're up by 30 points so was there no point of me staying in the game. 

I told Coach that I was leaving, he quickly shook his head and said" you have to stay till the end of the game". 

I yawned but listened, I didn't want to get on the bad side of the coaches so I just sat there and watched till the end of the game.

Nick added 10 more points in our win as we defeated them by 40 points. This was a crazy game well not for me but it seemed like Nick had gotten better, he might have been practicing all day yesterday while I was just enjoying myself with Riri.

During the halftime Riri had come and performed since she was in town and promoting her new album she thought why not perform for free since her boo was also playing in the game. I appreciated her for doing that and I watched her perform, she even walked up to me during her performance and gave me a kiss which the crowd went crazy over.

The guys that were sitting there were shocked they couldn't believe that I had scored such a superstar singer and after the game they were all asking if we could all hang out with her which I denied saying that she had to leave town soon, she just came to see me yesterday.

They got so mad at me because I was able to hang out with her the whole day yesterday and they didn't even get to see her up close or for me to introduce her to them.

After the game I quickly dipped out not paying them any mind and met back up with Riri at the hotel. We had a little fun before she had to go catch a flight in the middle of the night. I escorted her to the airport and while on the way there she told me how she was proud of me and how my stocks are growing and the business is in good hands that we should continue working hard.

After sharing a passionate kiss we parted ways till the next time we met.

The next day I had a day off so I decided to go to check out some jewelry I wanted to get a Jesus piece and also look for wedding rings as I wanted to propose this year. We had a few months free before the NBA started so a wedding was to be planned. I wanted to surprise them and take care of all the planning that way they won't have time to make it too big.

I just wanted family and friends to be present and nothing more. I couldn't wait to propose to both of them as it seemed like Paige wasn't that serious and I didn't know her for long so I'll hold off on her and see what's going on with her. I think I'll go visit her since my last game of the summer league is tomorrow. I'll go see what's going on with her before heading back home.
