Personal Narrative: Playing Basketball

In 2003 he was drafted into the NBA and played for his home town the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now he also plays for the USA team. Over all the years he has been playing basketball in the NBA he has made it to the finals 8 times. Every great invention started from a

Sweat dripping down my face; using what little dry spots I had left on my shirt to wipe it off. Darkness filled the night with one light that flickered on and off every few minutes was all that I had to illuminate what was in front of me. Not even an hour ago there was about forty people here and sun shining and now it’s just a ball, a basket, and me. I dribble and crossover the imaginary defender, spins around the other, and finally finishes the lay up right past the last man. Just like every other day in the summer of going into my freshman year of high school, I was the one of the first on the court ready to play and the last to work on what I hadn’t done great on that day.

For all my life I have been playing basketball. I still remember my first time I stepped foot on the court. I was just five years. I remember every single detail from that day. I wore my favorite Rajon Rondo shirt, my velcro shoes, and an unwavering smile.

The ball had gone in and I got fouled. I was so happy that inside me, a party was going on. I concentrated and shot the free throw which went in. All the six games, at least scoring one basket, we got to the finals.

and around the world and continues to draw a lot of interest today. A NBA ball court has to be 94 feet and 50 feet wide just like a college basketball court, so there is a little bit in common with college and NBA basketball from high school and college basketball is that in NBA you can’t stay in the paint for no longer than 3 seconds which would be a turnover on your teams allowing the other team to have the ball. The very first NBA game was played on “ November 1, 1946, in Toronto, Canada”, and what would be the start of one of the best sports ever played. Like in college basketball, there is a shot clock but in the NBA the shot clock has to be set at 24 seconds.

The purpose of this experiment is to test which practice schedule is more effective for skill progression. The experiment is done by having 2 different subjects shoot 100 free throws on day 1 to get a starting percentage. One subject then shoots 30 free throws 5 times per week and the other shoots 75 free throws 2 times a week. On the last day of the experiment each subject shoots another 100 free throws and the difference in percentage of start to finish is calculated. A free throw by definition is a shot that requires for a player to shoot behind a special line, called the foul line, into the basket.

Did you know every human body has 206 bones? Instead of having 206 bones, I have 206 ½ today. This is definitely a story I was never going to forget about, with all the pain, tears, and laughs involved. In P.E. one day in 8th grade, for our unit we played basketball.

In this paper, I will talk about my observations during the women 's basketball competion that was held on January 9, 2016 starting at 2pm and ending at 4pm at the UC Davis Pavilion.

In order to start my observation before the competition started, I arrived one hour before the basketball game in order to observe the teams pre-competition routines and warm ups. Upon my arrival to the sport event, the first thing I noticed was music playing, while the two teams did their pre-competition routine on the basketball court.
