More Like Myself: Basketball Court

Basketball is a sport with limited contact but, some people consider it to be a limited contact sport. It is played on a wooden court made for better grip on shoes. Officially, it is a sport that is played five on five; some play with fewer on each side for better competition. The objective of the game is to shoot a ball through a hoop that is 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high and is mounted to a backboard

I wake up and start getting ready for practice. Get in the shower and get dressed. I grabbed my bag and made my way to the bus stop. Basketball is my favorite sport. I consider myself being like my idol Derrick Rose. He is very good on the court. As I make it in the school, I realize I do not have to take that much time with getting ready for practice than I do on a regular school day. I realize my boys was running late as usual. Playing basketball with them is the best. Especially playing with Demacio.

Wood, multi-purpose, and concrete are the three types of court surfaces being experimented on. “All professional and collegiate leagues use hardwood court for their basketball games.” (Lorelie). There’s logic in why they use them. For example, Wood courts got referred to as one of the softest courts. Concrete surfaces got researched too. “These are the most popular types of surfaces for outdoor basketball courts. In fact, nearly all who play basketball starts playing on concrete or asphalt court.” (Lorelie). This shows, they must be popular for their spring, and for being compact and durable. Multi-purpose floor got researched last, because it’s little rarer than the other floorings. They have a

Basketball, dance, family, friends are some the things that mean the most to me and symbolize me. These things also describe me and my personality.

The court looks clean from how shiny it is, but I know from playing on it that it is pretty slick and kind

When I play basketball I not only play for myself but for my team,my family, the community, my school, and for everyone who doubts me. When I think about those things as I play I feel more in charge of what I do and how my outcome will turn out. I don’t want to be just a girl on the team, I want to the the girl on the team that everyone has to watch. It’s fun to get noticed and know that people admire the way you play but that only happens when you go hard and show the commitment you have toward the

court, but on the court as well. I have been playing my final season of basketball as a

As far as most people are concerned, every school tennis court is pretty much the same. The only prominent difference is the surface, whether it is a hard court, clay, or even grass. While I was a member of the Brewer High School Tennis team, I can recall vivid details of the time I spent participating in inter-school scrimmages and district tournaments as well as the other teammates involved. The tennis court I played on was surrounded by a steel, vinyl coated chain-link fence with aged and weathered benches located in the outer boundaries of the court. In addition, the surface of the court was coated with a green, acrylic paint with white boundary lines painted where necessary. There was one practice session where I accepted a challenge to

Basketball has been played all around the world and there are many different rules and regulations when playing this sport. Basketball has many different levels of experience. There is a level at the fifth and sixth grade level, the seventh and eighth grade level, the junior varsity level, the varsity level in high school, the college level, and the professional level or National Basketball Association (NBA). Basketball was invented in 1892 by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith. He started with having simple rules so all the players were able to get used to playing the sport very easily. Basketball has changed over the years and it will continue to change in the future. For all the different levels of basketball, there are different rules and judgments on how the game should be played. Basketball has many different ways to play effectively. It is a very competitive sport and as a player it is his/her job to figure out which is the best way to beat the opponent on both sides of the ball.

Basketball is a favorite sport to many Americans. It is a sport that takes strength, determination, hand-eye coordination and many other challenging aspects. All of this skill is used to do one thing, put the ball in the hoop. The ball itself is surprisingly very complex and takes a while to be comfortable with it.

So there I was minding my own business, casually rotating some kiwis, and that’s when THEY came in. They were a mildly intimidating group of rowdy basket ball types. By that I mean one of them was literally carrying a basket ball through the store. One of his goons pointed to something in the distance and nodded the other eloquently said, “Oh ho ho!” This was followed by a violent head nod from goon number one, and passionate laughter from holder of the b-ball.

Stephen Curry, point guard for the Golden State Warriors, said about basketball, “What I tell people is to be the best version of yourself in anything that you do. You don’t need to live someone else’s story. It doesn’t matter where you come from – what you have, or don’t have, what you lack, what you have too much of – but all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do, or what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.” Growing up I have always played basketball. It is like a haven for me considering whatever I am feeling, whether it is angry, somber, excited, etc. I can always play and depend on basketball. It makes me feel exceptional.

The ball courts were built such that, they had markers on them, more so on the lengths of the courts, mostly three. This markers were also symbolic in that, they represented the movements of the moon and the sun in relation to the ground.

A place where I feel perfectly content to is the softball fields. In this game that makes me feel content is being a strong catcher and outfielder in this sport. This game has shaped my past, present, and future for my life because of the the experiences that I’ve faced to shape how I am a person today. Playing this sport and crossing those white chalk lines shaped me as a aggressive, positive, and intelligente player.

At each end of the court is a backboard placed behind the ring, measuring usually about 2 m by 1 m, this is also in a rectangular shape although in some collages in America it is more in a shape of this.
