You Tube Sensation to Sign Proffesionaly in Australia?

Garrett Steinger grew up dreaming of playing in the NBA like so many young children do. There was not a day that went by in his young life that he didn't spend working on his game. When most kids his age were eating chips and playing video games, lil' Garret could be seen at the town park practising his lay-ups by moonlight.

As Garrett got older it was clear that he had a gift, and that gift was basketball. Anyone who saw him play would have sworn that he had sold his soul to the devil. The way he could handle the ball and lay it up on the fast break was something few had seen before. People came from as far as two counties over to watch him work his roundball magic.

It wasn't long until the college scouts started showing up. NAIA division two, NAIA division three, you name it, they were all there. Garrett had the world at his feet and he knew it. His parents urged him to go to college but he had bigger plans. Even though he was projected to go early to late seventeenth round, Steinger signed an agent, bought himself an Escalade and declared himself eligible for the NBA.

When draft day came and went without anyone even mentioning Steingers name, he was devastated. It seemed his carreer was over. That was until his dad put a video of him playing in the local mens league on YouTube. The video has become a viral sensation already notching up 120, 267 views at the time of this article.  International scouts worlwide have studied it.

My sources say several Australian teams have already contacted Steinger for the up coming 2010/11 season. There web site (http://www.nbl.com.au/) makes no mention of him yet, but look for some news regarding this in the next couple days.

From the shattered dream of the NBA to the beacon of hope that is the NBL. Good luck Steinger, the world is watching.
