Basketball

Basketball is a team sport, the objective being to shoot a ball through a basket horizontally positioned to score points while following a set of rules. Usually, two teams of five players play on a marked rectangular court with a basket at each width end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports.


There are a lot of basket competitions in different categories:


-minibasket
-infantiles
-cadetes
-juniors
-seniors


there are a lot of competitions like the FIBA, NBA, ACB or NCAA
This competitons are proffesionals competitions and the level of this competitions is very high.


The only essential equipment in a basketball game is the ball and the court, but almost good clothes and good shoes.
The positions in a basketball team are:

1. Point guard: usually the fastest player on the team, organizes the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right time.
2. Shooting guard: creates a high volume of shots on offense, mainly long-ranged; and guards the opponent's best perimeter player on defense.
3. Small forward: often primarily responsible for scoring points via cuts to the basket and dribble penetration; on defense seeks rebounds and steals, but sometimes plays more actively.
4. Power forward: plays offensively often with their back to the basket; on defense, plays under the basket (in a zone defense) or against the opposing power forward.
5. Center: uses height and size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on defense), or to rebound.

My favourite player is kobe bryant because he plays in my favourite team (Lakers) and I like his movements and his form to play.
I think he is one of the better players I have ever been, but the best player I have ever been is Michael Jordan, he is the leyend of basket.

A small part of a life.

Today I have interviwed Daniel Ceballos, my coach, I did some questions and he answered to me. Here you are:

1.- How old were you when you started playing basket?

-"Actually, I can't remember how old I was, but I think that it was in the summer of 1993, before I was 4 years old. I went to the summer basketball school with my older brother. "

2.-Who is the best player you have ever seen?

-"The best player I have ever seen is Alfonso Reyes, he is of Cordoba, and he was pivot and I liked this position a lot. And although now Gasol, Ricky Rubio, Navarro and more are the craze, if I have to choose some player, I choose Alfonso."

3.- Why did you choose this sport?

-"I chose this sport because in my family basket were the best sport, and my brother played it.

Before i walked, I visited with my parents all the pavilions in wich my brother played."

4.- How many years have you played?

-" I have played 17 years."

5.- In wich team are you now?

 -"Now i don't play professionally, I play to be in form and i play in Safa Fresa, a team of Seville."

6.- Why did you start coaching?

 -"I am P.E teacher and almost phiyical activities and sports bachelor. I lost the enthusiasm for playing a couple of years ago, and I raised a professional challenge related with the sport that I liked more."

7.- How many competitions did you win?

 -"Less than the ones I have lost, I have been lucky to enjoy great competitions, but perhaps I have enjoyed more like a coach as a player. I haven't valued those championships that I have lived playing basket, but I value a lot the great friends that basket has given to me, and almost I value what i learn every days by girls like you."

8.- How did you feel playing with the basket national team?

 -"I have never played with it on official competition, but as I said before to you, I wasn't aware of all the opportunities they gave me and maybe I wasted. But I made so many friends, so I can't valorate another thing of the lived. Because with the age you has on that ocassion, you're still a slight project on what someday you can become."

These are the words of one of my favourite coach, I hope you like the interviw and I think that he is a very good player.
