Basketball Never Sleeps

Basketball never sleeps

Balls go “BOING” back off of backboards

Shots seamlessly swish through the shiny net

Crowds courageously cheer there team on

The shot clock secretly ticks on and on

Beads of sweat swivel and swerve down faces

Nervousness nearly never is gone

Feet frantically step forward

College scouts carefully consult coaches

Winners willfully walk with confidence

Losers lethargically linger to the locker room

Coaches criticize and teach children 

Practice is for perfection and perseverance

Rims rattle and react to rapid rebounds

Jumping out of the gym

Athletes with avid agility

Precise passes are not predicted by opposing players

Assist are accurate passes that are associated with a score

Frequently finish good passes, and you’ll find yourself with a fine amount of points

Street ball is strangely different from standard games

Ball hogs are bad for basketball

Not passing is not purposeful to playing ball

The Bench builds energy by being a part of the game

Blocking shots boosts basically the whole bench and team

Home games however have to be won

Away games you can’t let anyone in the crowd aggravate or agitate you

You could be tempted to force turnovers

In basketball everyone gets beat, blocked and benched

Decision making is demanded more than doing whatever you want

Playing smart is significantly more sound for games then playing savage

Teamwork is timely for tackling tough task  

Getting championships is challenging

Making a basket is like successfully and skillfully achieving your set goals

These things go on every second of a basketball game

Is it fate that people play this game?

Or do people just randomly pick up a ball?

Either way could work

Basketball never ends

Basketball never sleeps
