I think basketball is a fun sport because you can play by yourself and you can play it with friends. Let's go over some ground rules. Rule number 1: Don't take more than two steps without dribbling the ball, don't get scared, and you must have LOTS of fun. Also in basketball your games won't get canceled because the games are indoors and not outdoors. Some more nice things are that you can get custom socks, custom backpacks, beautiful uniforms and you can also get two pairs of NICE kicks if you play for a travel team. The only disadvantages are some really serious travel teams have games on holidays and the kids on those teams are dedicated to playing basketball and one day hope to be in the NBA.
