Basketball is the best sport to start off with when you’re young. I started playing basketball when I was 7 years old. I will never give up my basketball dream. I think basketball is better than baseball, football, and soccer .My whole family is basketball fans. My uncle played college basketball when he was younger.

When I was nine I got a basketball hoop for Christmas. I wasn’t very good at basketball at that time. I still played every day on that basketball hoop during winter break. My cousin and I always played basketball at the park. Around February I stopped playing basketball sometimes I would only play once a week. My basketball hoop fell over in March and I didn’t play till May. On June 12 my favorite basketball team won the 2017 …show more content…

I don’t really like basketball that much, but I usually watch the NBA. My favorite team has been in the finals the past 3 years. I want to play basketball when I get older. I like playing really early in the morning. I like playing in the morning because nobody is at the parks. To me Basketball is definitely better than any other sport. My least favorite sport is probably baseball. I would probably be the shortest player on the team if I did play basketball when I’m older. I really want to wake up every morning play basketball and not have to go to school every day. That would be awesome. There are so many great players that have played in the NBA like Michael Jordan, Larry bird, Scotty Pippen and so many more. I know me going into the NBA is most likely not going to happen but if I play basketball in college I will try as hard as possible to get in the NBA. But I’m not doing too well in college bask
My uncle was 6’3 if I’m at least 6’1 I will be so happy. My uncle was barely 5’3 in senior year so maybe that will happen to me. Both of my parents are pretty short my mom is shorter than me right now and my dad is 5’9. The shortest NBA player is Muggy boas and he was 5’3 that’s pretty short. If I don’t do well in basketball I will probably make really fast

  • Personal Narrative: My Passion For The Sport Of Basketball

    942 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever since I was a little boy, about eight years old or so, I had an extreme passion for the sport of basketball. On weekends, I would wake up in the morning, eat a bowl of frosted flakes or cheerios, put on basketball shorts and then go in my driveway to shoot around. I would be out there for hours just shooting around or playing with some random kids that I would occasionally see walking around my neighborhood. This was satisfaction to me, but even better was playing on multiple public teams and not just playing in my driveway every day. In elementary school, I played in a recreational league, just like almost every other kid who tries out basketball when they were younger. This was fun and all but it was nothing too serious. There were never any practices, it was just one or two unorganized games per week. I never took

    When I was four, I received my first Fisher Price basketball court. The court was in my house and the basket was only five feet tall. My parents placed it in the living room since it was the only room in the house without carpet. I practiced shooting every day. I would wear my father’s sneakers and imitate basketball moves that I had seen on T.V. At that age, I did not yet have any self-awareness about my potential for the sport, but my father knew it was very likely to become a passion. By the age of five, my father was taking me out to the park with a basketball and I can actually remember the day I made my first basket. After that, I went on to play in basketball leagues, as well as work out with my father in gyms every night. Those were the best of times.
