Once I won my first grand final I new I chose the right team.

What are your strengths for your position?

Lebron, my fans really want to know what your favourite position is and why?

What influenced you to become a basketball legend?

Well you know Magic Johnson Yes. He was a b’ball legend and on his adds he would say ‘practise every day if you want to become a basketball legend like me.’ So that’s what influenced me.

Fire bolt Review

The Fire bolt is an international standard broomstick and used in the wizard and witch sport, Quid ditch.

It is 36 inches long and has metal handles and pedals. The broom is made of ash wood and birch twigs.

Who makes the broomstick is still unknown although it has great speed and can reach 150 miles per an hour in just 10 seconds. The Fire bolt has a great turning ability, as it turns so fast that it feels as though the broom is doing what you’re thinking instead of controlling it.

There aren’t many negatives and it is the best broom so far.

I give it 9½ snitches out of 10.
