Streetball on EPS (Entertainment Podcasting Sports)

In my opinion, streetball players are outstanding. I would watch a streetball game first before the NBA. A street baller’s moves aren’t allowed in the NBA. It’s looked at as entertainment. Well, isn’t all sports entertainment? In my opinion, streetball can be just as serious as the NBA. The rules are just different. But they all shake n bake and slam dunk. Streetball is just a different game. Streetball is more exciting to me because of the speed and quickness and moves not allowed in the NBA in a streetball environment. The street players seem more talented than NBA players. I want to talk to you about one of them whose name is Aaron “A.O" Owens.

His nick name is AO. Aaron is an American streetball player from North Philadelphia. He was born March 20, 1974. AO was on the AND 1 Mixtape tour from it’s creation until 2007. He played basketball at Henderson State University in Arkansas from 1998-1999, where he graduated in 1999 and was a Division 2 All -American.

It is said AO was ahead of his time and was from an era right after the Harlem Globetrotters became a household name. After watching a basketball clip of Aaron Owens, I could see a Harlem Globetrotter player in him. In my opinion, he was very quick with the ball. Owens appeared to have real fast moves. He had a lot of energy. Owens was quick to the rim. That’s what any basketball game needs. His position was guard, and I think he would have been the best in the NBA. In my opinion, I think he was the best anyway, and sometimes the best don’t get the opportunities that they deserve. I’m Gail Nobles and you’re listening to Streetball on EPS.
