Personal Narrative: My Experience With Basketball
Basketball is a game I started very recently. In fact, I was hardly interested in it. The complexity of the game always made me feel like I’d never enjoy being a part of it. However, the game took me by surprise. A lot of my close friends were part of the team and they were so passionate about it. Very recently, in the beginning of 12th grade, my friends coerced me to attend practice. Waking up early morning and running to the gym was literally the worst part of my day.
Gradually, as I got regular with practice, the game intertwined with my life. I wanted to practice more, get better at it, put myself into the game and give back to the team who encouraged me to be a part of them.

About 5 months from when practice began, I went for my first

    I used to be an all season sport player, but now I am only going to be a ¾ season sport player. I played all the sports that I could, football, basketball, and baseball. Now I only do football, basketball, and track. I like baseball, I’m just not good at it. Fielding, throwing, and catching I can do, I just can’t hit, and I don’t want to be the one to get out when I have enough power to drill it out to center field, and then see the disappointment on my teammates faces.…

    I believe playing a sport that you love is fun, but at the same time winning is more fun. For me I figured this out when I was ten years old. I was playing a pickup game at the RAC and my brother hit the game winning shot. I was so happy because I gave him the assists. Then it came to me like I bolt of lightning that playing basketball is fun when you win. Ever since that moment it helped me perform to my full potential.…

    The first time I scored in a basketball game was a life changing event for me. I was about to quit because I didn't think I would ever be good. My dad, he was my coach, told me not to because he saw potential in me. The first year I played basketball, I didn't score, so I wanted to quit. "Don't quit playing", my dad told me, "you can be a great player if you work hard." The first time I scored made me want to play more. It was my second season and I was the happiest kid in the world. My dad was in the sidelines clapping I loved scoring so much I never passed the ball a pretty much won the games by myself. Everyone else just stood under the goal and tried to get the rebound if I missed.…

    If I had to pick one achievement that I have done to make my community a better place, it would be about my basketball team when I was in the high school. Since the school is a small private school, I was a co-captain when I was a sophomore, which was my last year of high school because I graduated early by taking the high school proficiency exam called CHSPE. What I did as the co-captain was asking a coach to join the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). It is one of the biggest sports league for high school students in California, and our team used to be in this league. Since our school was small, and the team was not strong, we moved to the small local league. However, in order to improve our team, I thought that our team needed…

    Now I’m in college and I’ve been practicing and playing basketball. The NBA combine was coming and I was anxious about it. I went to all my classes and I get outside. The cold winter breeze hits me in the face as soon as I walk out. I make my way to the dorm. I get inside and the heated warm dorm felt so good. I got in my basketball clothes and get to the NBA combine. When I saw the competition I was relieved. We start the game and the jump ball goes to me. I drive down the court shoot a 3 and swish it. Afterwards I ended up destroying and dropping over 40 points. After that I was so tired and heated that the cold winter wind felt amazing. I finally got to my dorm and lied down on my bed. The soft sheets wrapped around my body felt so nice.…

    The ball was silent in the overloaded, roaring arena. It was late in the the fourth quarter of the 6th game in the NBA finals and the Warriors were down 97-95 against the Wizards. When he crosses half court, he looks calm, collected, and has a slight grin on his face. He is being defended by John Wall the Wizards all-star guard with forward height, sprinter speed, and world class athleticism. The clock is now at twenty seconds and counting. Steph plays with him out at the top of the key and looks toward his big man, calling for a screen. “Dre, come set one!” Stephen said as the clock was slowly ticking away. 10, 9, 8… Draymond Green sprints up to the top of the key and sets a wholluping screen on John Wall. Steph comes off the hard ball…
