Basketball is fun

Chris

Hi, I am Chris. I am here to tell you that basketball is cool. I think Basketball is cool because basketball is my favorite sport.

I started playing basketball when I first learned it in PE class. It’s a really fun game. You have to run. You have to jump. You have to shoot the ball into the hoop. You need to dribble the ball when you move. You need to work with your team, and pass the ball to your teammates when you are blocked by your rival team. It’s a fun game that you can play with your friends.

Also, when I first heard the name, Jeremy Lin, I was so excited that an Asian can play so well with all of the foreigners in the NBA. He has become my idol from then on. Jeremy Lin is not the only basketball star I like. Michael Jordon, the god of the NBA, is the everlasting basketball superstar I adore the most. Not only are they strong and fast, they also make a lot of money by playing basketball. How cool is that! You can earn money as you are doing your favorite thing.

I remember one time, I broke my leg while I was playing basketball at school. My right leg was put in a cast. I couldn’t walk for a week, let alone play basketball. It was a really bad torture to me. The accident made me realize how much I love basketball. When you love a thing, you can’t leave it for even a short time. When I was in pain, I could only watch people playing basketball on the court. That really hurt. It hurt much more than the pain of my leg. That’s how much I love basketabll. So when I say basketball is cool, you know I mean it
