How Does Basketball Affect My Life

since I was little. Going outside and playing sports was always fun and enjoyable. When I was in fifth grade, I decided to join a basketball team. The concepts that I love about basketball are how competitive it is, how your mindset changes during a game, and the skills that I use while playing.

unanimously considered the best basketball player of all time. Most people do not know that Jordan did not make his high school basketball team as a freshman.
