On TV, NBA is impressive, especially the last minutes of the game.
I started getting interested in basketball about three years ago because all of my classmates
were total NBA fans, and they kept on talking about the games they watched on TV In addition,
they also got together after class to shoot some hoops. Although I did not know much about
basketball, I quickly learned the rules, and now I really enjoy playing with my classmates.
Because I am pretty tall, this game is good for me, and I have improved very quickly.
I think playing this sport is very healthy because it can keep me fit. It is a good work- out for
both legs and arms . It involves a lot of running and jumping around, but you also need to be
precise in order to score.
I like to play basketball because it is a team sport, and so you need to collaborate if you want
to win. Everyone must attack and defend together if you hope to win. No one can be lazy or
selfish, and we have to help each other and work as a team. On top of this, it is a good chance to
socialize and to hang out with my friends.
It is a very exciting game because we compete to win. I think there is no better feeling than
fighting hard if you end up winning the game. You can feel the thrill when you come first!
I often watch the American basketball league on the sports channel, and the matches are
captivating, especially the last couple of minutes of the fourth quarter, when the teams are always
tied. They commit a lot of fouls and shoot free throws. There's a lot of suspense. We all expect
them to make one last amazing shot to win the game. It is a very exciting sport to watch.
