This I Believe…

I believe in basketball because it has sportsmanship and teamwork. Sportsmanship and teamwork are important because that’s how you win in life. Sportsmanship is like being a nice person to one of your teammates. If they miss a shot and they was wide open you’re not supposed to say ‘’you suck.’’ You’re supposed say, ‘’maybe next time but that was a good shot.’’ Teamwork is when you pass the ball around to your teammates instead of ball hogging. That’s how you don’t win sometimes.  The first thing I am going to talk about in basketball is sportsmanship. Sportsmanship is when you beat another team you don’t brag about it when you get home or to school. You’re supposed to go up to the team and say, ‘’good game’’ and ‘’you played a good game.’’ Another reason is if you lose you can still get mad at yourself, but don’t take it out on the other team. Especially if it the championship and you were undefeated and you just lost the biggest game of your life. The second thing I am going to talk about is teamwork. Now teamwork is working with the whole team not you. Because if you try to do everything by yourself you are going to probably lose. The team is going to be mad at you because you didn’t pass the ball to them not once and they always pass the ball to you; like when you say that you’re going to give the ball back to them but you never do. Then the next game the team never gives you the ball or they throw the ball away on purpose and then you lose the game. That’s why it is important to have teamwork and sportsmanship. If you combined all these together then that makes you a good player, but if you don’t use these two things it doesn’t make you a bad player it just makes you a stupid player. You don’t even say anything nice to the other team you beat you say bad things and that could hurt their feelings and that would not be nice to them. The reasons why I pick teamwork because that is important to the whole team even the coach and he/she isn’t even playing. If you are the best player it makes you a better player if you use these two things right here: sportsmanship and teamwork.
