My favorite sport is without a shadow of a doubt basketball.
And, funny story, I met a NBA basketball player for the first time in my life at an airport when I wasnt that familiar with NBA.
I looked at him and didnt know who he was.
Now I think about it, it was Kobe Bryant.
Wow! I had no idea! What a waste of opportunity!
I mean, I couldve asked for an autograph.
But i didnt. Ooooh, I hate myself.
Im a huge fan of the L.A. Lakers.
Therere too many reasons for this.
To start with, its dynasty in the forming.
Some people say that Shaquille Oneal and Kobe Bryant,
THAT was a dynasty!
But Im not a big fan of Shaq; I love Kobe.
Being a guard, hes all around.
He scored 81 points back in 2006 in a game against the Toronto Raptors.
In 2007, around the same time of the year, he scored more than 50 for four consecutive games.
And this year, hes taking the Lakers all the way to the Final after beating San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Final.
And before that they beat Utah Jazz.
We often say that theres no easy game in the West.
And Kobe and his team came all the way.
That could only mean one thing--Theyre unbelievably good.
I play basketball whenever I can.
And I even imitate some of Kobes moves.
Im not that tall, but still, I can jump shoot, do the lay-up, and if the hoop is low enough, do a slam dunk.
Being a guard is like being a captain of a team.
You initiate every attack, you decide the offense strategy.
And when you give out assists, youre helping other teammates;
when youre hitting three-pointers, youre encouraging the whole team.
When you do a lay-up in a fast break, youre pissing off your opponents.
The more you play basketball, the more you find theres more to basketball than just a physical game.
It has a mental state to it.
How to be selfless, how to contribute to the team instead of just thinking for yourself, how to work with others--these are also questions we have face in real life.
The NBA has a catch-phrase, i love this game. Its more than i can say about it.
And this year, i found it was changed.
Now the motto is Where Amazing Happens!
David Stern is absolutely a genius.
Basketball provides me more than exercise, but more importantly, inspiration and encouragement in life.
I love it.
