The ball The court The plays The jokes that only a teammate would understand The sound of the ball going up and down The drills the sweat drops on every forehead The crowd The jerseys The self punches after one bad move The laughs The anticipation The contact The yelling The coaches The ref's whistle The calls from the players The fowls The shots The key The drive The fowl shots The blisters The sweaks from the sneakers The way the other team hates you The silent curses directed at the refs The speed The twisted ankle The passion The love The hate The way it unites us all The way nothing else matters at the moment
Yes, I love all of these things, but most of all:
The feeling of being alive
That is what makes basketball an amazing sport.
