“The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy” by Bill Simmons‚ was a book only the Sports Guy could write. Save a few hundred pages for Simmons to inform the readers on how he became the basketball and Celtics fan he is today (hint: it was his dad choosing between a motorcycle and season tickets to the Celtics)‚ why as a child he called himself Jabaal Abdul-Simmons‚ footnotes galore‚ his hatred for Isiah Thomas and Wilt Chamberlain‚ and many of the greatest “What-if’s” in basketball

The day I was looking forward to had finally arrived: Basketball tryouts. I wasn’t the most talented‚ but I knew I could contribute to the team as a defensive stopper‚ using my size to my advantage. While the rest of the fellow middle schoolers struggled to hit layups and dribble the ball‚ I showed slightly more skill than everyone else. I made the B team that year as the team captain and leader. We didn’t win a game all season long‚ but that didn’t stop my love of the game; in fact‚ that is when

The nine time NBA All-Star has done things his way successfully at the point guard position for the past 12 seasons.

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.

It is the first time you hear it go through the net‚ as if a wind was coming through‚ or the first time you hear the crack of the bat. There is always that one thing that clicks in the brain to know this thing is special. Being given a basketball was all it took for me to know that I had found real love and a best friend. The ball was brand new‚ just out of the box. It was orange and smelled like a factory of rubber

Basketball is one of my favorite sports because of the ability to strengthen my legs. Something about picking up a basketball and playing with a group of friends gets me really motivated. Anybody can play and have fun no matter the age. Even girls can play basketball‚ it may seem like an all guy game but there are tons of girls and boys that play basketball together. It’s a good sport to get out in the hot sun and burn off some calories. It is also a good way to make friends. Some people think of
