The game of basketball is one thing, but the image of the game is another thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Basketball is basketball.
If you're a basketball player and you don't stop and take pictures with your fans, you can have an amazing game and everyone still loves you.
Basketball is so unique. It's both a team and an individual sport.
When it gets down to it, basketball is basketball.
When I watch kids play basketball, they don't know how to think the game. They know what it should look like, but they don't know why.
I love the flow of the game. There's a certain fluidity to basketball. I don't enjoy watching baseball or football in the same way.
The truth of basketball is done in competition and fundamentals and team, but there's a lot of other junk that goes around the game.
Life for me outweighs the game of basketball.
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
But I think the image that's thrown out on television is a bad image. Because you see players who want to imitate hip-hop stars. And the NBA is taking advantage of the situation.
