I started liking basketball when I was a kid, as a way to spend time with dad. He would watch his favorite team play and I would watch with him. When I started playing myself, it was discovered that I had a talent of making 3 pointers and that love grew each year.
You're welcome. Yeah, if the ankle is still swelling that's a definite no. Only when the ankle can move without swelling or pain is she ready to get back in the game. Before that, injury can get much worse. Not worth it for any hobby. Health comes first.
I had an injury once and it took 3 months to recover fully. However, I think it depends on the severity of the injury at hand. I think a severe injury to the ankle can take 4 months to heal but I'm not a medical professional so I'm just estimating here. Best wishes to your friend, it sucks...
Considering the fact that I'm struggling financially, watching at home is the reality 95% of the time. I'm also in control of changing the game if I don't like it. No such options when at the game, only money that went to waste on a ticket. :p
It just doesn't interest me. There is no thrill of the game when I watched a couple of games. I respect the goals the WNBA had in mind but I just can't bring myself to watch them play.
I'm interested in running, soccer and gymnastics. I play soccer, I used to run but no time for it anymore. Gymnastics I love to watch, too old to try it out by now. :p
I agree, there's no shame in looking for new talent. The same old formula won't work every time, maybe if we were all immortal but age takes a toll in any demanding sport.
Space Jam, so many memories of being a kid and seeing Michael Jordan and cartoons combined in one awesome package. I was amazed and kept asking my parents questions.
#1, definitely. I'm a big supporter of the teams I'm a fan of but I know each and every team has a flaw. Bringing up accusations when your favored team loses is just immature.
For me, it's hard to say. I do a constant flip-flop on who is the best shooting guard. Sometimes I think back to the good old days with Michael and then I struggle between current players.
FF8 was my first experience with Final Fantasy so it's my favorite out of nostalgia. I admit it, I'm biased. Haven't had the chance to play the other ones either. Maybe someday...
Just regular sneakers, I'm a casual basketball player with a tight budget right now so brands have to wait until I get on my feet. Still doesn't stop me from making 3 pointers. :p
You bring up a good point and a side I didn't consider before. This is a tough one, so many scenarios depending on the child and family at play here that it's hard to give advice for.
For me, it's not worth it. It costs too much for my budget and I'm not sure how long it would last. When I get more stable financially, I'm definitely considering buying a pair.
It's a matter of popularity and skill, I think. Basketball is used for entertainment, not purely skill so they want someone who has fans and game to back it up. That way it draws more attention, draws more fans and draws in more money.
I think you should tell her when she reaches a good age to be able to process that information without losing self-esteem over her unknown father. I would wait until at least 16, maybe older in some cases. Good luck!
I exercise every single day for 30 minutes. I'm a fan of running outside of playing basketball. I haven't had a medical problem since I was 12 so I think I'm doing something right! :p
Chicago Bulls ever since I was a little kid. Second place goes to the Lakers. I'll enjoy any team that plays a great game though in the spirit of basketball. In any sport, really. I love it when passion lives on even when things get rough.
