I was one of those kids who tried every sport growing up. I went out for soccer, softball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, track, I even threw on the ballet and tap shoes for a few years. But even as a child, there was something about basketball that separated itself from my other activities.
Maybe it was the game’s accessibility; with just a hoop and a ball, basketball was always there. Or maybe it was the way you could say an average of five words per day to a classmate, but when you took the court together, your chemistry was undeniable.
