Basketball

Basketball is war.
The ball is like your baby you need to protect.
My shoes squeak and scream at everyone else as they try to get by.
The ball makes the perfect swish as it glides through the white net.
I can taste the salty sweat dripping down my face, and the bumps on the ball slowly run against my fingers as I dribble.
All I can smell is the fresh scent of a brand new ball dying to be played with.
My black Nike shoes squeak with a sparkle.
The game of basketball is the best sport there is.
Basketball is not fun.
Although, playing ball is like Heaven.
Well maybe not exactly Heaven, but it’s great.
It is for sure not like having a test on The Crucible.
Basketball may not be as bad as war.
Basketball is not a slow paced game, only fast.
I ran towards the hoop, received an allioop pass and finished the dunk.
The best place to play at is Catholic Central High School Gym.
Basketball shoes are so expensive now days, up to 370 dollars.
Basketball is great.
