I approach the line with the ball in my hands
The referee blows the whistle
The game had started
We had to win
It was Championships
Who do I pass it to
I released the ball
It flew through the air like a bullet
All the way to my teammate
Run,Jump,Shoot
'Yes' We had shoot the first goal
When the opposition had possession
The basketball was like a jackhammer hitting the ground
But when we had control
The basketball played our game
At the final buzzer
The scoreboard was in our favour.

CHAMPIONS!!
