Basketball

      I do not play basketball but I watch it. I remember I was talking about Stephen Curry in class once and my teacher said, "What do you know about basketball? I don't see you in the gym everyday shooting hoops." Obviously this guy is completely clueless. I would not mind playing basketball at all. I do not play because I am not good at it, and I am not good at it because I do not play. I think if I put some effort into it I would be decent.

     When I watch any basketball game it is filled with excitement and rush. Especially the games that have overtime. I do not think that basketball is the most intense sport out there, but I definitely like it more than football, volleyball, soccer, etc. There is just something about a ball going through a hoop and making that swooshing sound that is very satisfying. Or when someone makes the game winning shot and the crowd goes wild that gives you chills. I think everything about basketball is perfect. Even when I am not watching it I am thinking about it. How a certain persons shot looks, how people could improve on different things, the body movement a player does when they either make or miss a shot, the way people pass the ball. It's almost like you could see it in slow motion through your mind over and over again.

  2. Basketball is life to me. I love playing basketball. Everyday, when I'm not in the gym, all I want to do is be in the gym shooting or playing a game with the younger grades. It really fills me with excitement and pleasure knowing that I am good at basketball. I love having the thrill of making a three pointer in games and playing good defense during games. It is like I have my own mind state when I play basketball. I wouldn't know what to do if our school didn't have a gym. Honestly, I would go crazy if we didn't. My point is I am never going to give up basketball and it will always be my number one sport and favorite sport to play aside from volleyball, soft ball, and others.
