It's the end of the fourth quarter the Brooklyn Nets are up by fifteen. There is no way that the Lakers are catching up now. All the fans are going crazy! There was a timeout called by the Lakers and there is now music playing for a dance off with the crowd. These two best friends decide to stand up and they start dancing and then they get on the jumbotron! Then the Brooklyn Nets win the game and he two best friends are so happy!

The half time show is having the best or dance move competition. Ted had looked at Andy to give him a sign to what they were going to do. They stand up starting posing and dancing with having all their friends and strangers being embarrassed that they are near them. For all that effort that they did, they never did end up on the big screen. Poor Ted and Andy, how happy was everyone else.

There is a Brooklyn Nets game going on. Two of the fans have had too many beers and they are currently under the influence. They are sticking out because they are one of the only people in the stands that are wearing white jerseys. They are very good friends and they have been planning this game, so long that they went online and bought matching jerseys. The sunglasses the guy on the right is wearing them because he doesn't want his family back home to recognize him and to keep his identity safe from the FBI.

It's a cold night in Brooklyn, New York. The Nets are beating the Miami Heat at halftime by 12 points. The dance cam comes on and the whole Barclay center goes crazy trying to be on the jumbo tron. The two guys in the picture above are demonstrating on whats it like seeing yourself on the giant screen. The other fans are Heat fans and are mad that their team is losing at the half.

It is a big game, there are lots of people in the stands. One team is clearly winning and the other is not. Two men stand in excitement for their team unlike the people around them. These people must be cheering for the opposing team.The two men standing are very excited and drew the attention of a camera man towards them. They didn't seem to mind that the camera was present because they were so excited about their team doing well.

It's half time at the Brooklyn's Barclay Center and the Nets up by a lot. The screen above the court that shows random people and the music is blasting. These to best friends were having the time of their life and the camera pointed to them. while the people around them thought they were crazy they didn't care they just kept going.

Going on halftime at barclay center here in Brooklyn where the Brooklyn Nets fans are going wild! It’s time for the dance cam, the fans are having a good time as they watch these two Nets fans dance for the camera from the big screen. If you look to the right of those two guys there is a man on his phone he’s probably a Timberwolves fan pouting about getting destroyed tonight.

Its halftime of the Brooklyn nets basketball game and they are up by 30. During halftime they are playing music so the crowd is starting to dance. The nets fans are really dancing because they are winning.

John and Bob laugh at each other as they begin to dance in the stadium. The big screen lands on them so the whole stadium can see. The people around them laugh at John and Bob but they don't care. They are having a fun guys night.

Sweat and stress is spreading through the basketball court. The NBA will experience one of the most stressful basketball games in a long time. The game is tied with the Brooklyn nets and the Oklahoma City Thunder at 112 points. Everybody in the stands is now either biting their teeth of wiping their sweat on their shirts just waiting for their team to have a miracle to win this game. Nets fans are standing showing off their jerseys to hopefully give luck to their favorite team. There are 8 seconds left in the game and the Nets get the ball. They drive down and the Thunder steals it! They score to gain two points making it 114-112. The Nets have one chance to score, they run down the court desperately trying to score and one of the players shoots a three and… he misses and the Thunder win the game.

This picture could mean that the team team they are rooting for scored a point. Or the camera is on them, and they are showing off their moves.

It was a cold august night at Ann Arbor, Michigan. The score was 34 to 26 Michigan in the lead against Michigan State. The quarter back made a final touchdown me and my buddy rose from our seats we stood up and made a dance. We saw below us was a camera so we then decided to make a pose for the camera.

It was the semi finals at Berry High, Wimberley Texas. A cold night but warm in the gym, 5 o’clock pm. The air was thick and the stress was growing. I heard the crowd screaming in the gym from the bleachers. I felt the pit in my stomach grow. We were all sitting on the benches in the locker room. I felt the walls closing in. It’s fine. I’m fine. It happens every game, it’s normal, right? The pregame panic was just walking over me. It was time. We headed out towards the gym and we huddled right at the edge before we had to head in. All eyes were on me. I mean, I am the starting forward of our varsity basketball game, and I was only a sophomore. Sure, it was great. Having straight A’s and everyone wanting to be my friend. So, no one expects me to be unhappy. It’s almost like I’m not allowed to be unhappy. The doors opened. Everything got loud. The crowd was screaming and it was time. I don’t remember anything. It’s just a routine though. Panic attack, everything fades to black once I step foot on the quart. I broke out into a sweat and my breathing quickened. I had to get out of there. I was all to much. I broke. I felt my coaches hand on my shoulder and looked up. “We don’t have time for this, Winners don’t quit. Now get out there and win.” I shook it off. I gotta win. I was born a winner, right? Cis white straight male. Just, maybe not straight. No, I’m normal, I’m average. I gotta be. I gotta be forgettable. I gotta be. Cause I’m a Texas grown winner.

For all the silly things I have done with my friends You would never expect to see me dancing I may dance in my sleep with all y friends, But when I finally decided to emerge from my dreams. I caught myself dancing to our favorite song. Waving my hands, Making funny faces. We continued dancing. Funny faces, Twin shirts, Silly glasses on my face. I was having the greatest time of my life. The music playing we pointed and started doing the hokey pokey. No one else was dancing. They were just watching. Watching us making a fool of ourselves. It was worth it. Having the greatest time of my life.

Its 23 Coventry 20 Hawaii at Mccoy Stadium today was the national series of town baseball. Coventry Rhode Island vs Hawaii coed finals, it's the final countdown. Then all of sudden people start yelling Vilola. It is last inning, if we strike out this one we win but if she gets a home run they get the boy on 3rd and the girl on second and the other boy on first that would be a grand slam. 2 people in white there my parent say destroy her i throw the ball my fathers decide to dance as soon as it leaves my fingertips. Then she hit it. It was a home run. She runs at it my father start to get mad and stop dancing and glare at all of a sudden she trips on 1st base and cant seem to get up. She broke her leg and can't complete the homerun my parents yell “good jobs chris”. But i decided to help i pick vilola up and carried her to second base she taped her good foot on it then to 3rd and finally home they win then she said “thank you”.

Alexa lays in place in bed, her jersey hanging on her closet door. Alex closes her eyes and thinks back to all of the practices leading to this day. Game Day. She begins to get herself ready for the day ahead. Before leaving she takes a good look at herself in the mirror. Hair tied back, jersey, leggings, backpack, and duffel bag with her uniform. She turns the corner and sees her two father's preparing eggs and she thinks of how much she loves them. They notice her presence and take her into their arms for a quick family good luck hug. Remembering to remind her how proud they are of her for everything she's accomplished. They send her off to the bus and reassure her they wouldn't miss her first game for the world. School drags on as the intensity of the first game of the season comes closer. Flashbacks to all of the sweltering summer practices. Her daydreaming is interrupted by yet another alarm, but this alarm was the school bell. Last period is over and reality is hanging over her. Extremely nervous for what's ahead she hesitates to walk to the gym. The team continues to work on drills until game time. Seven o'clock hits and they have to go off the field to prepare for a grand entrance. With her heart racing, she jogs back onto the field with the team and sees all the people sitting in the stands. But the sight of her dads, standing and dancing cheering her name gives her a rush of confidence. She know with the support of them this game will be a piece of cake.

Two men stood up, their smiles growing by the minute as the football player raced down the field. “TOUCHDOWN!” the announcer called and the crowd went wild. The timer buzzed and the Warriors were going to the college football playoffs. Kenneth Davids grinned as the team crowded around him, slapping his helmet and yelling. Their faces glowed from the light of the football stadium as they ran into the locker rooms. The Warriors had never been to the playoffs, not since, well, ever. Kent was going with the flow of the crowd when suddenly, a burning sensation raced up his leg. He cried out and fell to the ground, clutching his right shin to his chest. Players streamed around him, going to fast to stop and help. He curled into a ball to protect himself from being trampled, the pain in his leg growing. There was a ringing noise in his ears and he could hear his heart beating louder than the band. He tried to make a sound, but he couldn’t hear himself. “Kent! Kent!” A voice was calling his name, but it sounded like they were talking through a wall of water. Kent tried to respond, but he couldn’t. He closed his eyes and let his consciousness fade. The next morning, the newspapers had a single bold headline: Star Quarterback of the Warriors Gets Leg Injury. Below that, there was a second headline: Kenneth Davids Will be Unable to Play in the Playoffs. *The football team and the player are completely fictional.
