The best sport to me is the game of basketball. There are a lot of legends who came into the NBA and changed the game and made there teammates and made there competition work harder to become better. I enjoy watching Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. These players are just a few of the best players in the league today and the best on there respective teams. I play basketball because I just love the game. It excites me to watch and play the game .the best positions to play are the point guard and shooting guard. the point guard brings the ball up the court and to be a very good point guard you have to have court awareness, ball handling skills, and good decision making and of course have the point guard stature, or the height of a point guard .To be a shooting guard you have to be a good shooter if not the best shooter on the team good ball handler.

The object of the game is to beat the competition by scoring more points then them. To win the game you have to play good defense, because they say defense wins championships, and play good offense, get rebounds and run in transition. a perfect example for a team that plays defense are the San Antonio spurs. They won the NBA championship in 2002-2003 season beating the New Jersey nets with there defense ranked number 3 of 29 teams. I play the shooting guard, and I will also be playing for my high school, San Leandro high. Our schedule should be a fair challenge for us. We will be playing some teams that are better than us and some teams that are less talented then us. Working as a team should get us far this season individually and as a team.
