I can't remember when I first started playing basketball, all I know is that I got into the game because I got tired of playing soccer base. I remember shooting the soccer ball into a basketball hoop near my grade school building and never did it even grazed the net. When you're a kid, everything is tall and seemingly unreachable! As time goes on, I learned to play bit by bit; you see I'm not a tall kid and I did not grew as tall as I wanted to be, so I found it difficult to play with others who are more taller and more talented than me. While I did learn how to move and shoot well, Basketball was for me something I just enjoy playing together with friends casually and not competitively.
Fast forward to this day, I've just finished putting up a little basketball hoop for my 2 year old son. Seeing how he stuffs his basketball in every nook and cranny he can think of inside the house, I've decided to have a hoop installed outside the house so that he can start playing basketball. I'm a bit nostalgic seeing Roo stuff the ball in the hoop, remembering how I used to do the same with any type of ball that I have in home-made hoops I've built when I was young. I hope my son grows up as tall as my Lolo who, by the way, is over 6 feet high and be able to play the game better than I am.
I do hope Roo gets into sports early. In that way, he'll stay fit and healthy, as well as develop discipline and focus not only in sports but also in his studies.
