Basketball is by far my favorite sport to play. It takes skill, but can be enjoyed by anyone because there are plenty of spin-off games that only require fun.
My Basketball Career
I first played basketball for the YMCA in sixth grade. It was a fun league and was a great time to get introduced to the game. After that I played every year for the school up until my sophmore year of high school.
Why I stopped playing.
During the summer between my freshman and sophmore year of high school I had Lymes Disease. The doctors misdiagnosed me with mono so i had Lymes Disease with no treament for almost four months. Afer my symptoms never went away, I went back to the doctor and they blood tested me and found out it was in fact Lymes Disease. After being on antibiotics i was fine, but my physcial shape was horrible after a summer of being sick. I realized I was in no shape to try out for the basletball team and deciced to stop playing sports all together and got into weighlifting. I am very happy about my physical fitness today and do not regret quitting sports.
Basketball for me Today
Nowadays I enjoy going to the y and shooting aorund with my friends and playing pick up games. I still love basketball and see it as my favorite sport.
