Dreamer

 Dear Mr. Jordan, 

     From Naismith and the effort of America to the game of Basketball became an worldwide sport, up to you, Mr. "Air" and dreaming to play like you Sr.. Therefore the name of the Dreamteam in 92. Where kids wanted to drible like Magic, shoot like Bird, pass like Stockton and score like you Mr. Jordan. It was not about a Dream of pickying players but, to kids dreaming how to approach the game of basketball.

    I dreamed to play like you Sr., I slept with the basketball, I went more hours on the court, and woke up 6'o clock for practicing.

    Now I am old. But at the same age you went back to court and made this game alive again. Maybe I go to the gym again just to play as you an like you Sr.

    But what I really wanted is for my greatfather to went see me, in a game of Basketball. Which happend most for my efforts but for the inspiration I had on you and also other players. The gym at Flamengo once "Algodão" and now "Algodãozinho" was mostly for me a place were my greatfather came to see me... more then a place for me to go to the NBA. 

    My greatfather who played at Botafogo wanted me to try out for Botafogo, and the team that would be made there with the great "Marcelinho"... I actually tryed out for Fluminense, went on a bike to Vasco da Gama... and I met my greatfather on basketball game at Flamengo...

    The thing is, as most of those 90s kids should have done to you Mr. Jordan... you made my life better, as dreaming to play like you... but as did the game of basketball, and my greatfather.
