    Basketball is a common sport around the nation. It has an offense and a defense like any other sport does. The players have to make the shots to gain the points within the four quarters. It’s not that easy to just make shots‚ there’s certain plays and a way to set up each play to make a basket‚ or also defend your basket.

ONE‚ TWO‚ THREE‚ HAMPTON!” They started coming my way; as an ex-basketball player‚ deep down I yearned for a handshake or some kind of acknowledgment‚ but I sat there like a fork in the road.

Professional Athletes are very good at what
