Personal Narrative: The Love Of Basketball

The Love Of Basketball
The game of basketball is so much fun!
Whether it’s a steal, three, or a lay-up,
No other game can compare with this one.
When we make a basket the crowd blows up!
Even when I see the game on TV,
It’s amazing because we are so good.
It looks so easy, when they nail a three
If I could do that I totally would.
Even when it is me who scores the hoop
It pumps me up and makes me feel so great.
I love it when the crowd yells, whoop, whoop, whoop!
For the next game I really cannot wait.
Even though it is only just a game,
I know it is able to lead to
