I love this game| (please correct it!) Hi, it's Thomas here with the daily 10 minutes of writing commitment! Today I would like to talk about a game I've fallen in love with, when I was really young. Since the title of this little note, you should recognize what I'm going to talk about. Basketball, isn't it the best game ever? Back in the last 90s I've started playing videogames (I was 6 year old or something) and one of the first game my dad bought me was this NBA 96 CD. At those times, the NBA was not so famous here in Italy and me and my dad didn't know anything about those great player on the other side of the Ocean. Well, the NBA had just come across the first MJ era and I think they were in the first phases of a big plan to take their brand worldwide. In those years, they made the best move they could: they took MJ on the screens with one of the most well known cartoon ever, Bugs Bunny. Children from every part of the World fell in love with "Space Jam" and the NBA basically granted itself a huge new public. I was one of them and my love for this game rose starting from the first scenes of Space Jam. The rest is history as I've grown up watchign on TV (and youtube.....God bless yotube) with the 2003 Draft stars, one for them all LeBron "The King" James. I've been very lucky to have the chance to play basketball too, and I think it's maybe the coolest sport I've ever made; you must be focused for the rules are very strict, you must be strong and quick as well as precise, obviously. Basketball is very easy to practice, as all you need is a basket and a gamefield; it's cool played with an opponent, but you can practice shooting and movements even alone. The only thing I've never did is to root for a franchise, I simply can't choose; not being a US citizen, I'm not particularly bind to some team due to geographic reasons and I know I should root for a team, but I'm so in love with the game that I can't really take part only for one of them. I love watching the professional player doing things I couldn't even imagine. (I've written it down without reading it again to check for errors. My will was to reproduce a typical texting, or speaking situation, in which I wouldn't have much time to think to every little detail to fit perfectly to grammar rules.)
