Once upon a time there was a 16- year –boy in a small city in nothern England, who decided that rugby was not his sport but basketball was. John Amaechi and his mother knew that American National Basketball Assocition was the top of the sport and dreamed that one day he would get into one of the teams. This has never been done by an Englishman and seemed so impossible that it was almost a fantasy.
However, he studied hard to get to an American university. He also trained hard and was accepted by Manchester United junior basketball team. The MU junior coach says that it was more John`s will that his talent which kept him on the team. He went on trying even things went wrong. And he grew to 6ft 9 ins( 2m 5cm) , a useful height even in the USA , the land of giants.
In America he is studying clinical child psychology and has spent six years in and out of the school and university basketball teams. He had a personal trainer and kept working aut even when he wasn`t in a team.
This year fout NBA teams offered him a place in their `rookie` camps. He decidede to go to Cleveland. There were 18 `rookie` and just one new player need on the team. By the time the season began that one player had been chosen – John Amaechi, the boy from the small city in nothern England.

John Amaechi, a 16-years old English boy, decided that his life span around basketball. Although he knew that his British origin would prevent him from reaching his dream to become a member in the American NBA, he studied and trained hard to be accepted in an American university. He was also accepted by the Manchester United junior team, who considered his success was mainly due to his will, not to his talent. His passion and ambition pushed him to the highest peak, because four NBA teams offered him a place in their „rookie” camps and John Amaechi was the only new player accepted out of the 18 „rookies”.
