Hi Charles, I stopped watching NBA games because they became so boring that height and long shots mattered more than technics,skills and strategies.:( Besides that drawback,there are too many black players who're lack of styles or skills...
I enjoyed being the soul of the team as you have to be the one who knows where to pass the ball or who to pass it to...Timing and team spirit count most there on the court,don't you agree?;) The reasons why I used to play that position is because I never liked to be in the spot light and I'm not tall enough to be near the 'score- zone.'(?) I loved to see the attacker or front fielder(what sports term to use,I have no clue) score and get the glory of the game. Only those who know about the essence of the sport know who actually controls the game and should get the credit for a successful result.;) I used to play baseball,too...I didn't mention it,either before.;) They were fun because I got to meet and socialize with a lot of people from all walks of life. The best was to scream and cheer with all of them,of cousre!LOL Oh,Charles,you are still undecisive on which career to take later,aren't you?:( The easiest should be as an IT technician as it's the most demanding on the job market now,isn't it? There are so many IT experts here,and I hope you'll soon make up your mind and get a certificate for it as to begin planning your trip to Europe!LOL All the best as Josney used to like to say at the end of his posts, BTW,where's our Josney now?:( Pln On Aug 12, 9:10 am, Charles <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Pln and all > > Well,it is surprised.You never mentioned basketball before. > > It's glade to hear that you are interested in basketball,great > game.People like it always care about health.So they have a health > body. > > Really??
