     Second, practicing hard is the easiest thing, but it is also the hardest thing. It sets apart whether you are going to be a good at to play basketball or not; it is the most important thing. If you did not practice, you would not learn how to play basketball absolutely. For example, there is Kobe Bryant in the NBA. He is one of the best player in the NBA, Also, it was said that nobody practice hard more than him. As you can see, even if someone is the superstar of NBA, they must practice hard, so we need even more practice!

     Next, watching many good plays is a kind of interesting thing as basketball player because basketball is fancy sport. Every body wants to show a lot of own skills! When I was child, my father played basketball. Then I thought that I want to play like my father; my first superstar is m father, so I started playing basketball. No matter who someone is, someone makes you impressed sometimes. That feeling is good for how to play basketball. When you watch a good play, you will think, “ I want to imitate that play. Then you are going to practice hard. It creates a virtuous cycle.

     As a result, how to play basketball is not easy stuff, but once you are addicted to playing basketball, you are going to be interested in all basketball things just like me! Also, the basketball playing population is increasing, so you can talk with friends about basketball. I hope basketball is more majorly popular all over the world!
