I love playing basketball. I love the freedom. The opportunity. The teamwork. All of these are key for a game of basketball. When the game of basketball was originally invented it was to be a game for men. I’m glad today that the women's game has changed to be much more than it originally was. Today the game is much more aggressive for women then it was back in the 1890's and the women's and men's games are becoming more similar. And even though on the professional end of things the number of fans and the pay may still have a drastic difference I think the games are becoming more equal.
Defense important to a game of basketball. To win a game you only need to score one more point than the other team. So even if your team only scored one basket the whole game, you can still win as long as you play good defense and don't let the other team make a shot. Sure offense is fun, but I almost like the defensive game better. You never know what's going to happen and in my opinion hardly anything is more satisfying than blocking a shot.
When I’m out on the court all I’m thinking about is the game, the play we are running, the next shot and who I should pass to. I love the team element of the game; it makes the game easier and more interesting. I think the best players aren't the ones who score ten-million points a season, yes they are good players don’t get me wrong. I think the best players are the ones who are good payers physically and leaders. That's how I try to play balancing taking shots and dribbling with passing to teammates. I try to keep my team motivated even when we are losing by a lot. That's the type of player that I aspire to be and I know I can always get better.
