Fanatic

Dribbling slowly outside the arc, I try to look for a spot to strike. Either I drive it in or to create an opening for my teammates, I look slowly at the defensive formation but yet with an eagerness to drop a point for my team. I decided that I will drive in with a a small gap between two defenders with a crossover. Give the first defender a shake and bake and the latter one with a fast crossover, I finished it with a small layup. Seeing the ball go through the rim, I kept myself silence but on the other hand, I can feel the excitement deep in myself.

Yeap, it's nothing more but my experience from my basketball. Throughout my 5 years in the court, I've learned lots of things from this sport. The passion, tolerance, patience, humbleness, hard works,leadership... From my amateur moment, I have been teased, joked around with and even neglected. All of these experiences are inevitable for almost all the rookies out there. Step by step, I keep on training on the court and trained without any professional helps and advices. Till now, I admit I am not one of those good players but I am happy with my condition now. I can help the team to score, dishing out assists when I can't score and most of all, I am on a court where I feel belong to. Well, I still hope to be a better player in this game and of course, to be one of the notable players out there.

Another reason for me being a 'fanatic' in this sport is whenever in a game on the court, I will cast everything aside. My worries, my fears, my burden and my disappointment will be sitting on the side of the court until I step out of the court. My friends keep saying that I am a fanatic or some die-hard fans of basketball. Actually, they don't understand how basketball works for me. In almost all the games, my only aim is to score. With that only aim in my mind, this game almost acts like a 'pain killer' for me, treating me from the wound or you can say pressure, burden or disappointment ( mentioned above) from outside of the court.
Sometimes, I would really want to explain this fact to them but laziness prevails. Perhaps I am waiting for a novel approach to happen on them so they can understand the similar situation with me someday...
