Basketball and the reason why it is my life

Basketball for others is just simple, putting a ball in a hoop but for us basketball freaks we think of it is a Game of our life. People who don't play the sport can't feel the excitement, the thrill, the beauty, the pleasure, the pains, the magic that we feel when we play it. It really feels good when your shooting the ball perfectly without any hesitations and it also a downer when you aint hitting your shots. Basketball talks about sportsmanship and how you can't win if your the only one playing, in order to win a basketball game you must have teamwork, dedication, discipline, the will and the passion for it. Basketball helps persons in terms of teching them discipline and being humble, this is where i learned how to get along with people even though i just met them. I really can't elaborate the feeling when you are playing the sport, all i can say is the rush makes you forget everything! All you think about is how to win the game and putting that ball inside the hoop with grace and power. The feeling is undescribable when you float through the air holding you hand up with the ball and putting it in the hoop. I love basketball so much that even though i get elbowed and being beaten down i still play it. Eventhogh i get lots of injuries from it i still play it like nothing ever happened. The one thing that amazes me most about this game is that eventhough the players are killing thereselves in the hard court still they become friends after the game. They talk about how they made you fall from the ground but sill laugh at it like it was nothing. That is why Basketball and life for me is like the same...

Like what Neil Talolong said Life is like basketball, one must never miss any opportunity that comes and everyone must rely on teamwork. There is one thing on my mind right now, “Let’s play ball.”
