Basketball court

like baseball, football, basketball, soccer, etc. and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. My favorite sport is basketball and the person that inspires me to do my best on and off the court is the best of all time Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan was as my dad would always say, the first on and off the court every time he was on the court. Jordan was always…

First, before the game. The article states, “ Set goals for yourself that are…

Most coaches will suggest getting ankle support shoes, just so someone doesn’t get hurt. They can wear ankle braces, but don’t have to. Coaches also suggest good name brand shoes such as Nike, Under Armour and Adidas. If basketball shoes have no support, most likely to roll their ankles and get hurt. There are minor things to…

“The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need. Those boys simply would not play 'Drop the Handkerchief’”(James Naismith). The world of sports revolved around football and baseball in the 1800’s. At the time, there was a long break between sports in the winter time. There was nothing to do because all the main sports were played outside. When it got cold outside, a new sport was in the making to keep students and athletes in shape. Basketball was invented…

Basketball has changed my life for the better. Growing up we did not have a lot at first, but we did have a gray concrete slab, a basketball hoop, and a basketball. Eventually my parents started to make more money, however, that led to constant fighting between them, so I would go outside and shoot around. I would shoot a couple of free throws, practice some lay-ups, jump shots, and the occasional three-pointer as well. When I got into high school, basketball became something I could use to let…

everyone has been waiting for. The day when all of the blood, sweat, and tears finally pay off. Today is the basketball championship. All of the cheerleaders will arrive at school decked out in their Bremen blue attire. Bows in their hair, cheer bags on their shoulders, and spirit in their hearts. They are ready to cheer their team to a win. On the other end of the campus, the basketball players enter the locker room. Some exchange a few words of encouragement, but most have their game…

championship game, Hannahville inbounds the ball, and I steal it. Three, two, one, I have a wide open layup, and I choke. Preparing for the championship game was a struggle, physically and mentally. We all put in hard work, and were determined to win. Our basketball team hadn’t won a championship game since 1992. It was my senior year and my last shot at redemption against the defending champs. The whole season we only lost one game, we were projected to lose, and we were the underdogs. We had…

incorporate volleyball courts into any of the public parks that have existing basketball courts. This method has already been used at the Reggie Wong Memorial park in Chinatown; there are lines for a volleyball court painted over the lines for the basketball courts, thus conserving space and maximizing recreational capabilities.
