I played BasketBall on Saturday!



I totally love the sport. From dribbling the ball pass your oponents. Taking the lay-up, you leap into the air with the ball in your hand, then while in the air, you try to maneuver the ball closer to the rim, and flick it into the net. That few seconds of feelin as if you are soaring through the air, feel so good.

Next will be the jump shot from long range. Taking shots from long range requires alot of concentration and practice. Cause when the ball bounces off the rim, it could easily land into the hands of your opponent. Sometimes it also takes a lot of effort to move away from your opponents to prevent yourself from being blocked. But the bestness in shooting will be hearing the net go "Swoosh" everytime it goes in. And the shockness in the peeps faces when they dun expect you to make the shot. haha .. I bet tian en knows what i mean, after he copied me shooting using the board. haha .. but not bad t-man you picked it up quite fast. that swooshing sound has been stuck in my head for the pass few nites. It just sounds so good.. haha ..

Lastly, the one thing that i have been learning as a basketball player is to be a point guard.

Point Guard - Usually a team's primary ballhandler and the man who sets up the team's offense.

Yup that's something i have been learning. It's so fun to set up plays and help you team get the point as a team, and not depending on individual skills. Because basketball is a team game, and how the game is played will depend on how the point guard move and motivates the team.As i play more street basketball, there usually isnt a point guard most ppl just flashes their individual skill.. and there is always this lack of team work. I find in such a situation even more challengin because most of the time you play with strangers or ppl with different skills or fitness. So to make them cooperate and help them compensate each others weakness as a point guard is super exciting.

To me i see God as the ultimate Point Guard. He brings together people of different skills and abilities, as no matter how lousy they see themselves, he uses them for his purposes. He motivates and assures the people, that by trusting him and being obedient and followin the play that he has set, we will always emerged victorious.
