A littler bit regarding basketball history...
"The original game of basketball was started with 18 men in a YMCA gymnasium in Springfield, Mass. Since then it has grown into a game that is played by more than 300 million people worldwide. Dr. James Naismith invented basketball - under the orders from Dr. Luther Gulick, head of Physical Education at the School for Christian Workers. Naismith had 14 days to create an indoor game that would provide an "athletic distraction" for a rowdy class through the harsh New England winter.
Naismith's invention didn't come easily. His first intention was to bring outdoor games (such as soccer and lacrosse) indoors. These games proved to be too physical and cumbersome for indoor play.
Becoming frustrated with his lack of success, Naismith recalled a childhood game that required players to use finesse and accuracy to become successful. After brainstorming this new idea, Naismith developed the game of basketball as well as the original 13 rules."
OK..bla..bla..bla..on and on and on and on..history ni boleh la cari kat pakcik Google ye..ni pon aku copy paste je..hehe..bukan la nak cite sangat pasal history ni..just a little side reading.
So..mula2 aku maen basketball masa kat sekolah menengah dulu (SMAPK). Mase tu aku Form 2..Aku pon x ingat la kenapa mula2 aku maen basketball tu..maybe sebab kawan ajak so aku pon maen..Lepas x dipilih untuk maen team sekolah, aku pon jarang maen dah pastu maen la bola plak..same reason, member ajak maen..haha..then lepas pindah tu kat sekolah baru tu xde la pulak basketball so tinggal la kan...
Then masuk Universiti..mase awal2 tu xde jugak orang maen n aku sendri pon x terfikir nak maen..naek sem 3 aku da nampak sket2 la ade org maen..aku pon join jugak..mase ni memang ade member ajak tp dengan usaha sendri jugak aku nak maen..mase tu memang x ramai langsung orang maen, even nak wat team yg consist of 12 people pon x lepas..kene la cilok sane sini, import sane sini..haha
Then comes our 1st tournament, the UMT Open Basketball Tournament. UMT biasanya akan buat tournament ni once a year and this is our 1st time participate. Kitorg pegi under Uni tapi uni x pandang sangat la..just bagi pinjam baju je..tu pon baju bola..nk tgk pic x?kejap2...
Saje je nak tunjuk pic mase tu...memang xde gaye macam real basketball player kan?haha..yang stay lepas tu cume bro yang pkai baju no 11, and 2 orang yang di belakang (kiri n kanan) baju no 9,yang pegang bola tu. Yang antara no 9 ngan no 5 tu aku la..hehe...
OK, enuf..nanti aku sambung lagi la cerita pasal me and basketball..sedikit video untuk aku share.
