my favorite kind of sport is basketball.
i like to play ball games, with my friends i usually play football or voleyball, but basketball is above all.
i remember the times when i was a kid. my lovely daddy often watched sport channels. and i remember when i, a little boy/girl, watched it with him.
my dad instilled in me a love of basketball.
when i was five, i called basketball players "tall fast guys". now i can say their names, ages and for what team the are playing.
my friends say i can be a professional basketball player. the are proud of me and i`m grateful to them.
have to say, i go to the basketball section a little bit more than three years. our team alreaedy won many prizes.
i like to play basketball, i like to watch how another people play basketball, i like to read and hear about basketball.
i like basketball.
