On the Cleveland Cavaliers website, you can submit photos to the organization’s webmaster to show your love for the team. So, we sent in a photo of our son, Mason, wearing his new Cavs outfit. Naturally, guess who was chosen as the “Photo of the Day” for March 22nd? That’s right - Our own little “Chosen One.”
On November 9th 2009, my wife and I were blessed with the birth of our first child, Mason James Miller. Born 2 months early, Mason weighed only 4lbs. 1 oz. Luckily, though, he’s been doing great ever since. The above photo is an actual picture of him at just over two months old. FYI - the picture is actually real as no photoshop touchup was ever involved.
Wow! The above picture is an actual photo from 1909 of a high school girls basketball team out of Chicago. That’s right, those are high school girls from a hundred years ago…and those are also their uniforms. Regardless, the pose/look on the girl in the middle’s face basically says that she could take any of today’s players to school. Bottom line - great grandma had game.
First of all, I wish we had more action shots and camp activities to show, but unfortunately, most of those pictures came out blurry and out of focus. Regardless, the 09 ballher skills academy was a huge success. Once again, Tamika Catchings, who is a leading candidate for this year’s WNBA MVP award, was there as well as a new notable guest - Christine Baker. In case you haven’t heard of her, Christine is the author of a great book about the passion of girls basketball entitled, “Why She Plays.” You can visit her website by clicking HERE. As for the camp, everything went planned as scheduled and everyone had a great time. Overall, more than 80 campers, coaches, and helpers made the day a memorable moment for all involved. Thanks again to all who volunteered their time - your efforts were very much appreciated. Also, thanks again to Tamika for taking the time out of your busy WNBA schedule to reach out on such a personal level to so many of your young admirers. Good luck in the upcoming post-season playoffs!
