If you are among those people who are bored watching the usual cricket or tennis or soccer or are looking for something rapid and fast paced,then check out basketball,man!!
Basketball is a truly exciting game.There are two teams of five players each.The aim of the game is to shoot the basket---not literally----one has to throw the ball into the basket.The game is played in four time intervals called quarters(15 mins.)Every time one shoots the basket points are scored depending on the area from where the shot was taken.The best thing about it is that the coaches can watch the game from court side and take time-outs to coach the team on new strategy.Substitutions are allowed too.This allows the players to take a breather vin between and come back all guns blazing.The game is such that no one can predict the outcome until the last second.It is also exhilarating to watch the players implement one new strategy after another to score points.There are two referees to see that you don't play foul and award it to the opposition whenever you do.
I watch basketball on T.V. on ESPN----the NBA Championships.
My favourite team is the PHILADELPHIA 76ers.
My favourite player is Allen Iverson from the same team.
So be sure to check out basketball.Enjoy!!
