Leiite - Basketball

In the movie Woodlawn, it is said, “There's something special about you. I can see it. You have a gift.” I believe playing sports is something special that I am able to do for many reasons.

If you saw Michael Jordan playing basketball across from your house what would you do?. Well Michael Jordan was growing up he loved to play basketball. Morning, afternoon and evening. He couldn’t live one day without the court.  Michael Jordan went to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill well growing up. Michael Jordan was also one of the shortest players in his college team, Michael Jordan is 1.98m tall and used to play for the bulls. His jersey number was twenty three until it went missing in 1990 he couldn’t fit any other twenty three jerseys in the stadium so he had to wear the number twelve. The bulls won less than half of their games every year. It all changed once Michael Jordan joined their team.

Basketball is one of my favorite sport is an American sport. It also is an indoor game mostly. Dr Jame Naismith was the man who invented Basketball in December 1891. He sent out thirteen rules of its own. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands, this is still a rule in basketball but with a little change. You can’t go pass the halfcourt line once you passed it. The ball may be batted in any direction with one, but never with the fist. This rule still stands till this day. Players can dribble the ball with one hand as they run or pass, but they can't run with the ball well catching a pass. The ball must be held by the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it. This rule still applies, it would be a traveling violation. There are a lot of rules in basketball to much for me to remember.

Playing sports is probably the only time I get up and run. Which is good for me, a lot of people might think their good at sports. Some say others are good because their tall, fast or fit. I mainly believe that people are only good at sports if they have the faith, the right attitude and mindset.

Playing sports can be very special.
