Luol Deng

Luol Deng was born April 16, 1985 in Wau, Suda. Deng is a British basketball player who now plays for the Miami Heat. Deng spend most of his professional basketball career with the Chicago Bulls before getting traded to the Heat on July 15,2014. Deng has also played for the Great Britain national basketball team. Deng's poistion that he plays on the court is small forward. 

Deng is 6ft 9in and he weights 220 pounds. He went to High School at Blair Acadmey in New Jersey. After going to Blair Acadmey in New Jersey to play high school basketball, he later on went to Duke and played one year there (2003-2004). He entered the draft in 2004, Round 1 and he was the seventh overall pick. He was going to be going to the Phoneix Suns but they tarded him to the Chicago Bulls. Deng played with the Chicago Bulls for ten years before getting traded to the Cavaliers and then the Heat. 

Since his birth in Sudan, Deng has lived in Eqypt, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 2006, Deng became a British citizen in a ceremony in Croydon, which was called up to play in European competition for the Great Britain team. He first made his debut against Georgia in Pau, and France on August 9, 2007, scroing 19 points. He played with the Great Britain team at the 2012 Summer Olympics, were Deng averaged 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. However, Great Britain did not do so good with a recorded of 1 and 4. 

Deng to me I don't really like as a player. He used to play for the Chicago and the Chicago Bulls are the Heat's rivals. This is why I don't like any of the Bulls players, I mean yes, they are good but over the years, it always ends up in either a fight or some kind of argument. Now that Deng is on the Heat I am now slowly begining to like him. Since, Luol Deng has been on the Mami Heat I have not seen him yet, I have only seen pictures of him. I have not seen any of the Miami Heat play yet on Tv and I just get so busy that I don't have to watch tv. 

Deng is involved in many charities, one charity that he supports is the UK children's charity School Home Support. Deng has been reconized for his hard work towards all the charities that he puts his own time into. I think being part of a group that helps kids and other people in the world is so amazing. One charity that he has also been reconized for his hard work to is the Lost Boys of Sudan. In 2009, Deng was one of the first batch of inductees into London Youth Games Hall of Fame. Deng finally passed these's year made his way back to his home town in Sudan.
