Basketball in my childwood.

 

A sport i would like when i was child it’s the basketball.  I think the basketball it’s a exciting sport, when all the players must be attack and defend, that versatility you can’t see it in any sport. Began to watch the NBA a few years ago open my eyes about this sport, obviously they are professional player, but see Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokoumpo, it’s a show and these players uses their bodies to the maximum level, jumping, running, etc.

Also the basketball needs a lot of technique because, first you need to be tall, be 1.80 meters is too small, the player of that tall play on the guard position they are the shooters of the team to get the three points. Meanwhile the power forward and the center are the taller players of the team and play down the rim. These player must be 2.0 meters or taller to play in that position. So here in Chile the people are too small, it’s difficult to see someone over 1.9 or 2.0 to play in that position.   I’m 1.83 and with my friends when we play in a plaza near the house, I am one of the tallest on my friends group, so I would like play guard but I always play down the rim. Anyway, the thing I don’t like too much of the basketball is the lot of injuries you can have, in the legs, in the arms, in the fingers, etc. But it’s a beautiful sport I would like seriously in my age.
