Basketball to me is a great sport that you can play any time. Basketball is the sport where you get to show off what you have been working on, on the court. Basketball is a sport that is easy to learn how to the play and the rules that follow. Basketball is not just like soccer wher you can play it, but not watch it. You can do both. Basketball is enjoyable while watching and just watching the players makes you feel like you can do what they are doing and just fly and crossover on the court. Basketball is great competion wise, meeting new people, and just the environment that comes with it. Basketball is like an addiction, or unstoppable love. I love it so much, that when coach subs me out, I get mad and think in my head, what did I do wrong. Basketball is just like a game, that controls the heart. If you lose, your heart pops. If your team in is in OT and they are down 1, 2, or 3 points, your heart is filling with air and it can't take it anymore. If you win, you are just relieved. Basketball is a sport you can play at any age, or weight. There are 400 pound players who could were and are amazing on the court, Escalade and Brave Williams.
Basketball has been the number one sport where I really figured, if I want to be the best, I have to do more and work more. In football, I had my dad's genes, but not even genes, I was just talented. I had a great arm off the bat, and when I played quarterback it was like there was no pressure when I played. In baksetball, it was different, I had to work. It was a long road and still is a long road. I was sweating and working everyday rain or shine for 3 hours to 4 hours a day. I wake up at 5 and go for a run and then go back home. I get my weights, jumprope, and basketball and work by myself and just work on dribbling, post moves, shooting, and vertical. I would finish up and then do my stuff throughout the day and be back at it by 6 and stay out there until 9 or 10p.m. I hated the work and all of it because it starts to hurt and you are pushing yourself every inch of the way. Plus, people never give you a break even when you start to become better than they thought you were and in the road there is a lot of struggle, but success and I loved the sport still. There is no other like it. There is no other sport that I had more dedication and commitment to.
