Playing Basketball.

Watching NBA 100 Greatest Plays with Js and that got us crazy during the bball session in the evening, imitating moves, dishing out "great" passes and trying the cool plays. Somewhat agreed with what Larry Bird said, "It's doesn't really matter if I scored 10pts, 20pts or 50pts. I like it when the ball's moving and everyone's involved." Yup. Guess that's what been missing in bball for me for a long time. Especially when boon's become a great shooter, I became better in the low post, our game is just stale at that level. Whenever the game is on the line or not, just dish the ball to boon coz he'll figure a way out to sink it in the hook. Doesn't matter if it's a miss coz Jh will get the rebound. It's something that you know that even if you win the game, it ain't really satisfying, or perhaps just for that moment of Pride.

Involve everyone. Maybe that's what I've been playing all along. If there's an open player out there, be it cck (lol, pun intended), I guess I'll still dish it to him to shoot. Although he did all the crappy things (like throwing to the direction where there's no one coz he tot he saw me flashed passed. =O), he's in the best position - unguarded. I like the feeling that we win together, with everyone's effort. Even if we lose, we lose together. Team. That's why I fell in love with the game the very first time isn't it? Coz it not of simple maths of 1 x 5 = 5 where 1 team with 5 men equals to 5 men. It's a team of 5 men with limitless possibilities. Uncertainty. Unpredictable. That's the fun part of it.

It's when 5 persons move in sync and create something special, a move, a play or something that others could only look in awe. That's Basketball.
