I like basketball so much because it is not only helps keep me in good shape and improves my overall health but also teaches me the value of team work.When i was younger,I did not like to play team sports because i was afraid i was not good enough.Also,I couldn't handle from others very well. After my friends got me to start playing basketball,I found out I was actually good at it.This really boosted my self-confidence.In addition,through practing and playing basketball.I am no longer a weak,shy,or angry young man.Because of the sport,I now enjoy good health and great friendships.This is why I love basketball so much.
