Basketball and Me

Okay, let me count the days since I launched my latest post. Hmm, it must have been a week, or probably a couple days. Then now, I'm thinking what to share. Candies? Chocolates? or DJMAX? Okay, enough. I'm going to tell you a story about me, and basketball.

Hey, I have to tell you from the very start that I am not a basketball player. Yes, I'm not a basketball player. So if you think that I'm a basketball player because I write such a title, you're wrong. I've never really played basketball before. Let's say that I probably have once played basketball, but it wasn't a match or competition. Just trying to shoot the ball and getting the points, well just that. No competition, no regular practice, no team.


I have basketball jerseys. But it doesn't mean that I play basketball. I liked basketball when I was in elementary school. Yeah, I liked it anyway. I preferred basketball to soccer or baseball, and I don't know why I liked it. One day, I heard my jiejie talked about basketball with her friends. Soon I saw a basketball competition and I suddenly felt like I had to buy a basket ball. I didn't have much money at that time so I decided to save money so I could afford a basket ball. It didn't need a long time for me to collect money. I bought it a couple days later. My jiejie's friend taught me how to play basketball well. She showed me how to dribble the ball properly. I started playing by myself. Alone. Shooting the ball, dribbling, I did it alone.

As I grew up, I started being focus on music. I didn't play basketball anymore. Even I didn't do sports, except jogging and swimming. I didn't even understand the rules. I didn't know name of the teams. Talking about basketball, I could only mention these names: Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. That's all. The ring is too tall for me to reach. The ball sometimes bounces too high so I have to jump higher to get it. My opponents are taller than me so I can barely get the ball and shoot. I can't run faster to chase my opponent. I'm not good at playing basketball.

So what's the main point? Hahaha, let me tell you that sometimes, what I dislike today has such a story related to my past. Probably no one knows that I liked basketball, but not today. Today I do not either hate or love basketball. I sometimes watch a basketball competition. and sometimes feel like not going to watch. I sometimes wear basketball trunk and sometimes I don't feel like wearing it to certain places.

It's kind of funny anyway.
