Basketball is the most famous game in the whole world commonly played by men. Different personalities around the world have become famous because of this sport like Micheal Jordan, Elmore Smith, Brian Williams, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Briant, and Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
Here in our country, basketball players have achieved fame in this sport like Asi Taulava, Robert Jaworski, Philip Caesar, Chris Tiu, James Yap, and many more.
In Arellano University Plaridel Campus, my high school, male students usually play basketball (as their hobby) during recess time, lunch break, and dismissal especially when there are no activities in the quadrangle such as try-outs for volleyball and basketball, and practices of varsity players.
I remember a scene, in relation to my thoughts about basketball, while I was walking together with my friends at the quadrangle as we were going home (November 17, 2008) – I was in second year, we were having our intramurals, it was lunch break, and Joshua D. Guillarte, Pamela Luz O. Pantaleon and I were walking then I was hit on my head by the ball used in basketball (of course, they asked for apology and some laughed at that moment but I wasn’t affected, I just ignored what had happened); another one is I was talking with my teacher as he was facilitating the students in the poster-making contest then I heard students screaming, when I took a look at my back I saw the ball of basketball coming on my way and then PUFF! It slapped on my face, I wasn’t able to avoid the ball because it was too near to escape (of course, they asked for apology and some laughed at that moment but it really hurt). By the time I was reminiscing those moments, a ball hit my finger – and that was a basketball ball. Again.
Actually, I thought to write this story of mine because I am interested in basketball but I do not know how to play it despite the height I have – I should know this kind of game but I know nothing about it… that is past, I am now reading some materials, books, magazines, with regards to this game so that I would have knowledge about this and only application is all I need now but no one knows that I want to play basketball because I do not say it. I do not tell it to anyone. Yes, I have friends but I am not telling it to them that I want to – they already know I play not basketball. They don’t even ask me a try.
The truth is I was able to play basketball when I was in grade 4 together with my classmates Emmanuel and Andrew because the first asked me to.
I want to play basketball not only because it is a famous sport nor Filipinos really like this game, but because I want to.
I have chosen a person who I want to teach me but I can’t tell him because I am ashamed – ashamed because I am old enough to ask somebody else to teach me… whew! I hope somebody to teach me basketball… I want to play basketball…
