In the Philippines, basketball is one of the most popular sports game. Some people say, "You're not a Filipino if you haven't watched any basketball game." It is a part of our culture. For us, NBA and PBA are one. But obviously, NBA is the league of the best players.
For some people, it is a waste of time. Watching Basketball game is not just a hobby for us. It is a part of our lives that gives us this different type of happiness, an unexplainable.
We are very excited to tell everybody how one player did such a great move. We always give criticisms about what happened in a game. This is the reason why we meets some new friends. Sometimes, some of us share the same favorite player and we have many stories to tell about that certain player.
Basketball is not only about passing and shooting the ball in an amazing manner. Basketball also gives us determination, thinking skills specially in making decisions off the court and teach us to be sports. It also teaches us the real meaning of team work and cooperation.
It is a physical game. They say that height gives a basketball player an obvious advantage, particularly when you rebound or shoot near the basket. As of now, Wilt Chamberlain, the center of Los Angeles Lakers (1968-1973), is still the top rebounder in NBA having 23, 924 points and a height of 7 ft 1 in. But we also know that small players are more aggressive and they can also succeed if they have the superior jumping ability in areas like 3-point shooting, like Mark Barroca of Pure Foods having a height of 5 ft 10 in. All in all, a real Basketball fan shows their appreciations in different ways.
