Basketball

Basketball is a wonderful sport. Why don't we have a class (besides gym) on basketball. Basketball contains just about everything except "kicking." Basketball is a wonderful sport.

The objective of basketball is to stop the other team from getting the round, orange ball into the hoop. In the meantime you are trying to get the ball in their hoop. When you have the ball you can only move if you "dribble" the ball or else it is "traveling." When trying to get the ball in the other hoop you can "shoot," "dunk," or even "pass" to another teammate so that they can "dunk" or "shoot" the ball. This requires a great amount of skill which is necessary to win the game.

A basketball season consists of anywhere between 15 games to who knows how many, based on different leagues. After the "regular season" there is the playoffs. The playoffs consist of 7 games best out of 4. Once you win that "7 game series" you move on to the next series, and the next, until finally ending up at the Championship game. Whoever wins the Championship game is considered the best in the league.

As you can see, Basketball is the best and will continue to be the best sport in the world. I play basketball because it is fun and because of the fact that it is the best game in the world. I am a Utah Jazz fan and we have the loudest stadium in America. I am a Jazz fan!!!
