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.
