Passion – Basketball

My Passion by Shariar Alam Sadmun What is basket chunk? In technical footing as defined by Princeton, it could be defined as a p business deal of ground froliced on a court by ii opposing squads of 5 dramaers points argon scored by throwing the ball through an tall horizontal hoop. In my own words I would describe hoops game game as my outperform friend that never backstabs or goes a substance from my billet it is evermore there by my side no matter what only if like a true friend. Everyone has a passion but I think my passion is truly unique because I hold love the sport of basketball since I was seven.I remember the solar twenty-four hours I was hearing my first basketball game, I still remember it as if it was yesterday. I was not very familiar with the rules and the scoring. I did not need sex any players. My idol, Shaquille ONeal, was playing in that game and he was distinguished the whole game until he missed cardinal crucial at large(p) throws near the e nd and his team lost. afterwards the game he said, Me slam 40% at the foul line is unspoiled Gods delegacy to say nobodys perfect. His play that game and the way that he encountered and the way he in discriminateectually answered the critics that day has inspired me to play and love the game of basketball.People some eras ask me, Why do you love basketball? All you try to do is use up that ball through that circle. That is not fun My response to them is always the same. I tell them basketball is not just a game, it is more than a game. It is my love, it is my passion, it is the game that is always by my side, and it is the game that gives me the most enjoyment whenever I am playing or watching it. I love to watch the game. If they array the game on television for 4 hours straight, I will watch it without getting fed up with it. If someone starts a conversation rough basketball, I will turn into Manny from Ice Age who never kale talking.I hate losing, basketball brings out m y competitive sapidity. Basketball lets me coach out my emotions, which helps me in expressing myself to others. Basketball is a game of cooperation, where the five mint on the court work cooperatively to achieve the goal of winning. The ample Michael Jordan once said, Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships. Michael Jordan is a hoagy and an consumption to a lot of pack. He is the reason a lot of people not only in North America, but over in the world started playing basketball. He once said, I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career.I have lost more or less 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to posit the game winning shot and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. His competitive spirit and his hunger to succeed have always inspired me, and every time I hear or read these awe-inspiring quotes by him it always gives me goose bumps. Basketball teaches me good discipline in terms of when to shoot and when to pass to a teammate. Basketball has given me the incur of leading by example. Basketball players not only play the game but they do a lot to help their communities.A great example of that would be Steve Nash, who is an honorary member of Order of Canada (the highest civilian honour in Canada). He is possibly the greatest Canadian basketball player ever. He is an inspiration to every Canadian. All the philanthropic work he does, the way he takes care of his body, his work ethic and the way he leads his team is just a joy to watch and hear about. It makes me proud to be a Canadian and to know that a Canadian is one of the greatest basketball player ever to step on the court. Players like Michael Jordan and Shaquille ONeal are once in a generation type of players.The way they play with intensity and seriousness is something really commendable. I practice every day during the summer, I try to play with that killer instinct like my idols. When I was in grade five, I would play my brother every day after school and I would never win. One day he did not want to play me anymore because he told me I was not at his level. That really hit me. I remember for the next two months, I had a basketball with me. Everywhere I went, I had it with me from travel and dribbling it to the point where I slept with it. That is how much I wanted to lumber my brother.I got that competitive spirit from players like Jordan or ONeal. After two months, I requested my brother to play me and I told him if I lost I would never ask him to play me. He accept the challenge, and after a very close game I heartbeat him twenty-one to eighteen. After the game, I cried so much because I was so thrilled that I finally beat my brother. Basketball for some people is just a game. It is more than a game to me. It is like my best friend. It is my passion. It has always been there for me through the tough times and as sound as the good times. It has helped me take my emotions out in a appropriate manner.It lets me take out my competitive spirit. It has taught me how to work in a team effectively. Alan Armstrong once said, If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it function you and you will find great things happen for you, to you and because of you. I feel basketball has given me the chance to enjoy my life in a way that I would have probably not enjoyed without it. Basketball has given me the chance to become its best friend, and I will always admire basketball for what it has done to change my life and what it has done to always stay by my side.
