My Love for Basketball

My favorite sport and one of my favorite things in the world is basketball. I love basketball. I love everything about it. I have played basketball pretty much for my whole life. I still play now, but now, I am not on any teams. Now, I usually play at a local park and at the recreational center at Georgia State University. I like sports in general, but none compare to basketball. I watch ESPN and Sportscenter pretty much everyday. Right now they are showing and talking about nothing, but baseball and football on Sportscenter. It is really getting on my nerves. I can not stand it. I can put up with football a little more than basketball. However, they mainly show baseball clips and updates on ESPNews and Sportscenter. Baseball is one of my least favorite sports to watch. The players really do not even have to be in shape to play it. Fat people can play baseball.
Like I was saying, basketball is pretty much my life. It used to be more so in the past before I went to college because I had hopes and dreams of making it to the NBA. However, the thought of me making it to the NBA has faded away, and the realization that I will not make it to the NBA (mainly because I am too short) has sunken in. I love watching basketball on television. I like watching streetball as well as organized basketball on television. I like all the tricks that the streetball players do and know that it is not fake even though some people believe that it is. The Harlem Globetrotters is fake, but the AND 1 team is not fake. I like watching NBA basketball as well as college basketball. However, I like watching the NBA much better. This is probably because I know the NBA players the best. My favorite team in the NBA is the Los Angeles Lakers. This has been my favorite team ever since like the year 2000. Kobe of course is my favorite player on the Lakers. In my opinion and according to the opinions of many analysts, Kobe is the best player in the NBA. He is usually one of the top three scorers in the league every season. Last season, he led his team to the NBA finals, even though he had a finger injury. Even though he had that finger injury, his scoring average went up after his injury. His team loss in the NBA finals, but it was because he really did not have any help from his teammates. Lebron James is my second favorite player. He is very strong and can guard almost any position of the court. He is very good at dunking. That is probably the best thing that he does. DeWayne Wade is my third favorite player. He makes several unbelievable shots. He got injured a while ago and the superiority of his talent was shown then, but in the Olympics he showed that he is still one of the best players in the NBA. I believe that basketball season starts in October. I can not wait until it starts.
