Let Me Tell You a True Story...

I wanted to play in the NBA. I really did. And my only way to get there was to win a scholarship. Combined with some great basketball skills and determination. I'm pretty sure, back then, I had what it takes to make it to the pros.

The only thing left for me I guess, was the scholarship. This scholarship was given to sophomore students ("I needed this scholarship so I can go to America because I'm from Macedonia")

For two years, I'll be settled in a family and continue my education there. And in case I'm really good at anything, they'll offer me a chance to stay there ("so that the NBA scouts will hopefully notice my skills").

So what I was doing, was preparing myself for this scholarship for two years. And the day came, when I walked into this building, just to check the exact date when this testing would occur only to hear this cold lady say...

"there is no scholarship program anymore".

If I was one year older, I was going to be the last generation to have a chance to win a scholarship.

Ouch.. You have no idea what it felt like. It felt like my life was changed, completely.

Everything I dreamed of for several years was ruined that day.

So what? That doesn't have to be your case. Maybe you are not pursuing the NBA or a pro league. Maybe you wanna play college bball. Maybe you wanna play the game cuz to you, it's more than just a game. Whatever you aspire to be, I truly wish you that you succeed.

This website is made possible with the help of many writers who genuinely LOVE the game and they LOVE writing about it. It's made for YOU. You are the reason.

From the heart,

Trajko Dangov,
Fellow basketball lover

P.S. Back when I was playing for a team, I wore the number 14 but since Vince Carter Jersey is 15.. yeah, you know what I mean:)
