Basketball Photo Essay

Basketball is not just a game, it’s the lifestyle. It makes you relieve stress if you have any and just makes your mind calm. When you play basketball, you just feel like you are in a different world. Well for me, when I play basketball, I feel lost in another world just doing my own thing. It’s one of the best sports in the world, so how can you not like it? Sometimes if you have nothing to do or you are bored just go shoot some hoops. It’ll definitely make you feel good about yourself and you will also improve your skills. Watching basketball is one thing, but playing it is another. The whole point of playing basketball is to just have fun and play the game. It’s really fun once you get good at it. The NBA is just amazing, I can watch it all day. It just sucks that they are off for 3 months a year but when the season starts, I rarely miss anything. There is so much to do in basketball. You can put the ball between your legs, behind your back, cross-over, and once you get even better, you can do cool tricks like no look passes, behind the back passes, and through the leg passes. You can also break your defenders ankles (not literally) by doing a crossover move or just getting them off balance. Shooting in basketball is really simple if you actually know how to hold the ball right. Some people learn faster than others but overall, it’s not that hard to learn how to shoot a ball. Lay-ups are another part of basketball. It’s when you run and either lay the ball up against the glass into the hoop or you can make a layup by just going up and not using the backboard to make the layup. If not all the time, most of the time you should have good shoes with grip so you don’t slide or fall because wearing the wrong shoes to play can mess your own self up. The two aspects of basketball is mental and physical IQ. If you play smart, nothing can go wrong, but you can’t play selfish. Everything has to be done slowly so that you know what to do in a situation where you are stuck and need to make a decision quick. That’s where the IQ comes in. The NBA is equally divided by IQ players and skilled players. For example, LeBron James is a good player and he has good IQ.
