Path to Greatness: Christian Carter's Career

[BUCKSWEATSHIRT]

Christian doesn't just want be a great point guard he wants to be the greatest. He doesn't want be somebody he isn't for the media, he's going to be his self. He wants to revolutionize the way the game should be played on, and off the court. By being his self. not trying to be a fan favorite, or being in the spotlight all of the time. He's going do everything the way he wants to do it, and not kiss up to anybody. He calls this his " Path to Greatness".

Re: Path to Greatness: Christian Carter's Career

June 26, 2014 Draft Day
This is the moment I've been waiting for all of my life. I am going to finally become a NBA player. My life long dream is becoming true, and I'm more than ready for it. I can't wait to walk across that stage and shake Adam Silver's hand. That hand shake will begin a new era in the NBA. The "Path to Greatness" will begin when that moment happens.

Later that night...

Dad: Alright son this is the moment you've worked for ever since you were in middle school.
Christian: Come on dad I don't need any cliche movie speeches right now. I know I'm ready.
Mom: You're dad just wanted to get you amped up honey.
Dad: No he's right. You're a grown man you don't need to hear any of that cliche stuff.
Christian: I'm already amped up enough. I feel great!
Mom: Well that's good honey.

Adam Silver: With the first pick in the 2014 NBA draft the Utah Jazz select..., Christian Carter from Georgetown University!
Wait, did I just get picked first over supposedly once in a generation prospect Andrew Wiggins? YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've made it to prime time baby time to shake Adam Silver's hand, and begin my "Path to Greatness"!

Re: Path to Greatness: Christian Carter's Career

Later on draft night
I decided to celebrate by going to a party some NBA draftees are at. There are a lot of them here, even some 2nd rounders, but the one I wanted to talk to most was Andrew Wiggins.
Andrew: Hey Christian, congratulations being the first pick in the draft!
Christian: Thanks man! I know you're kind of upset considering the fact most people thought you were easily going to be the number 1 pick.
Andrew: Nah man I'm just happy to be in the NBA, I mean It's not going to stop me from achieving what I want to achieve. If I would've been picked dead last, I still would want to become one of the greatest.
Christian: Same here man, I feel you.
Andrew: I mean I'm still going to be better than you.
Christian: I'm sorry?
Andrew: My NBA career is going to end up being better than yours.
Christian: No way I was better than you in college, and I'm still better now. I'm going to be way better than you.
Andrew: Dream on kid. I'm the best thing the NBA has seen in years.
Christian: OK, well my first step of proving I'm better than you will be me winning rookie of the year.
Andrew: Wanna bet?
Christian: How much?
Andrew: $10,000!
Christian: Shake on it.
*They shake hands*
Andrew: Welp, I'll see you soon.
Christian: Break a leg!

It's the day before the NBA Summer league starts. My team the Jazz play in the Orlando Summer league, so we play from July 7 to 12. I've been working out nearly everyday since the draft. I'm sure I'm going to make a mark in the Summer league, but I wish I played against Andrew Wiggins once so I could prove who's the best. I guess I'll have to wait until the season for that. Today is also going to be my first time meeting up with my teammates and coaches. I'm excited to start playing this Is what I've been waiting for ever since middle school.

Afternoon

Coach Corbin: Alright, for those of you that are rookies I will tell you my philosophy. We are looking to be a low seed in the West this year now that we have the talent. I will along the way make sure you adjust to the change of pace in the NBA. As for you people who have been on the team before I'm looking for you to be veterans, even you second year players. You should be adjusted to this league by now. You had 82 games to become prepared. I'm not going to give you any breaks if your having trouble, you have to find out on your own now. Now I will be using the Summer league to evaluate the talent on our team. If you don't fit with my team you will get cut. I'm looking for my point guard to be pass first not looking to score, the scoring role should go to my shooting guard. Small forward does everything a shooting guard does, but is not the primary scorer, and is bigger. Power forward brings strength and rebounding to the team. Center brings strength, rebounding, and size to the team. That's what we have with my starting five of Christian, Alec, Gordon, Derrick, and Pekovic. Now lets get ready for Summer league.

Trey Burke is pretty mad that I got the start at point guard. He tried to convince coach that he was the better player, but coach just told him to go prove it to him during Summer league. Trey hasn't said a word to me yet. I personally think he needs to get out of his feelings. If he's really that upset about it then he should request to be traded. I'm going to show him why coach made me the starter today in our first game against the Miami Heat.

Coach Corbin: Alright team, you guys have to take this game seriously so I can evaluate the team depth chart. Play 110% if you really want a role on this team. Now go warm up.

Time to prove my worth.

* I'm not posting box scores for summer league*

Halftime

I'm playing good right now passing wise. I haven't been looking for my shot, just been trying to get a good feel for my teammates. The pace of the game really does change as soon as you come to the NBA. Everything is so much faster. It hasn't effected my game though. Trey Burke is being a ball hog, but is scoring alright. We're losing 35- 38 though. Probably because we aren't getting to the foul line enough. We're only 5-7 while the Heat are 13-17. Other than that nothing we haven't been doing good.

Re: Path to Greatness: Christian Carter's Career

End of Game

We ended up winning 69-59. It seemed like the Heat stopped hitting shots in the second half, and weren't getting to the free throw line as much. I ended up having 14 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds. Trey Burke played terrible the second half. He couldn't shoot for ****. The rest of my team did their part though, and we got the W so I don't care.

Locker Room

Trey: I can't play off the bench.
Christian: Why not?
Trey: I deserve better than this. I was on my way to turning this franchise around. I had a good rookie season, but they don't even give me a chance and decide to draft another point guard to replace me!
Christian: Not my problem. Go talk to coach about it.
Trey: I'm demanding a trade! YOU STOLE MY SPOT!!!
Christian: Quit being a big baby!
Trey: **** you!!!!
*Trey throws a punch at Christian, but misses.*
Coach: HEY!!! What the hell is going on?!
Trey: I'M DEMANDING A TRADE!!!! HE STOLE MY TEAM!!!!
Coach: Fine! Will find a trade for you immediately. You're suspended from Summer league. Get out this facility.
* Trey packs his bags, and leaves.*
Coach: There goes are back up point guard.

After that crazy commotion in the locker room coach suspended me next game. I was pretty angry, but got over it. I'm just going to work out that day from 6 AM to 10:30 AM, then go grab some lunch. After that I'll head to the game, then after the game go work out again from 2 PM, to 7 PM. I'll call it a day after that. Then I'll be able to play next game against the Nets.

During work out, 9:00 AM

* Christian gets a call from his older brother, Carlton.*

Christian: Hello.
Carlton: What's good with ya Buck?
Christian: Man I'm just in here working out, since I can't play in today's game.
Carlton: Wait, why can't you play?
Christian: Because Trey Burke flipped out about me stealing the keys to the franchise from him, then I called him a punk, and he threw a punch at me.
Carlton: WOW. What happened to Trey?
Christian: He's getting traded, and can't play in any more Summer league games.
Carlton: Damn, so when is he getting traded?
Christian: I have no idea.
Carlton: Oh.
Christian: How you been doing preparing for another year of college at North Carolina?
Carlton: I've been straight just been working out everyday non stop. I'm barely in the house any more.
Christian: Well don't hurt yourself.
Carlton: Man I know how to take care of my body.
Christian: I'm just making sure.
Carlton: Wait, do you want to talk to Mekail?
Christian: Hell yea! Put him on the phone!
Carlton: Alright, see ya.
Christian: See you.
Mekail: What's up?
Christian: Nothing man, just working out.
Mekail: Oh you know I'm a senior now right?
Christian: How could I forget how old my cousin is?
Mekail: Just messing with you. Yea I'm going to dominate this year. I'm starting point guard.
Christian: You better be the way me and Jr worked you out since you were 8 years old.
Mekail: Yeah you write. Can't believe Jr stayed for another year of college.
Christian: I think he made the right decision. He's only 5'9, so scouts are already doubting him because of his size. He felt he needed another year to prove he was good enough to make it in the league.
Mekail: You're right.
Christian: Yeah I got to go finish up my work out, I'll talk to you guys later!
Mekail: Alright, good luck.
Christian: No such thing as luck, I already taught you that.
Mekail: What ever.

Re: Path to Greatness: Christian Carter's Career

Next Day

Well, coach didn't let me go to the game, so I had more time to work out. I was pretty upset about that. I should've been allowed to go. On top of that I got sick this morning. I think I'm catching the flu. Now I can't play in today's game. This sucks!

I went to the doctors, and they said I do in fact have the flu. Now I can't play for the rest of Summer league. FML!

Christian: Mom I'm not supposed to be talking right now.
Mom: I know, but I just had to check on my son.
Christian: Well I feel terrible.
Mom: Did you get some medicine.
Christian: Of course I did. It's not going to work right away. *Sneeze*
Mom: That sneeze sounded bad. Maybe I should let you get some rest.
Christian: OK.
Mom: I love you.
Christian: *Cough* *Cough* *Clears throat* Love you too.
Mom: Bye!
