Basketball

Basketball is a game of skill and fun.
You need to dribble.
You need to shoot.
You should not lose your temper.
You need to learn how to defend.
You can not travel.
You can not double dribble.
You can not reach or slap another person.
You need to be a team player.
you need to practice all the time.
You need to learn to be a good sport.
You need to learn how to win and lose.
You need to have fun while playing.
You should care more about having fun than winning.
You can not lose your mind while playing.
This is how the game of basketball should be played!
