Basketball is the best sport ever because it's fast paced and fun. You have to put the ball in the hoop to make a point but the best part is being on court with friends and teamates. Even though I'm the small forward and I have to take the ball out all the time, it's still is the greatest rush you can get. Just by playing, you feel better inside.You can pass, you can shoot, you can dunk, you can block. It is all so exciting! Once, I went to the Houston Rockets game and even though we lost, I had a great time just by watching. I think that basketball wil be around for a long time. I like basketball better than alot of other sports because you don't have to stop every 30 seconds to make a play (like in football), you dont have to nearly kill yourself trying to get pass someone (like in soccer), you don't have to stand on a base all day until someone hits the ball (like in baseball), and you don't have to stand in the hot son and run side to side for 2 hours straight (like in tennis). If I could, I'd play basketball all day!
