Basketball is a very aggressive‚ fun‚ and intense sport that I like to play. It was created by James Naismith in 1861. He also designed the first football helmet. The first basketball game was played in 1891 at what is now Springfield College. My favorite position to play in the game is defense. I love to play defense because it’s so fun to block the other team’s shots and also I like stealing the ball from them and then scoring a layup. I also like to play offense because it’s so exciting when

On January 26th‚ I made a huge error in my basketball game against West Central. To anybody else‚ that game might have seemed unimportant- insignificant really. They were not a conference rival or a sectional team. To me however‚ this game was very significant because I used to attend that school. At that game‚ I played all of my friends from kindergarten to fifth grade. I hoped that I didn’t make a fool of myself.

Culture tells me that the only teams I’ll ever make are the math or chess team. The only arena I should dream of playing in is Carnegie Hall as the next musical prodigy. No one‚ not even my own family‚ expected me to play basketball. Even if there is a quiet voice whispering inside you to try the sport‚ why would you even listen

Smaller arenas‚ pace of the game‚ and overall competitiveness make college basketball the best sport worth watching. If one were to attend‚ let us say‚ a college football

For as long as can remember I have had problems with my knee. It all started back in middle school‚ when we were playing basketball in our math class. My teacher at the time‚ Mr. Siem‚ would play with us. On this particular day‚ we were on opposing teams and he was bringing down the ball. When I went to defend him‚ he never stopped and he ran into me. His knee landed on mine with all of his weight. I knew right away that something was wrong.
