BASKETBALL

Ever since my dad gave me my first basketball, I fell in love with basketball. Everything about it, the challenges you face, the exercise you get, and it’s a great way to interact with friends while making new ones to. That’s why when I get a chance, I grab my basketball and shoot some hoops.

I really like how when you play basketball with a team you get into some tough situations. Like maybe you can be losing by one basket with the clock winding down. Or maybe you can be winning by 1 point, and the other team has the ball in the last seconds. But either way, the game of basketball can get pretty intense.

I also really like how basketball is a great way to get your exercise while having fun. It helps you use muscles in your body you never thought you had! It also makes you use your brain in different ways. Every game you have to make different strategies in different situations. And when you have the ball you have to make good decisions like in the real world. And by the time the final seconds pass by, all your muscles will ache and burn.

It is also fun to invite friends over to my house to play basketball on my driveway. It helps me to interact with friends and be social. Other times when I play with a basketball team, I usually have to get along with my team mates. I can also become friends with the kids who I play against. I really think basketball is a great way to make new friends.

There are so many words that describe basketball like fun, exciting, and so much more. But the three that stand out to me are challenging, exercise, and friends.
