Communities come in different ways, this community just happens to have a core of a sport. Basketball, to me it's more than what meets the eye. This sport has been a life lesson for me and the people around me have been vital.
A community has its pieces and so does the basketball community. We as players come together to either work on our game or compete for bragging rights or to win an organized tournament. Basketball is also a way to not only see more of the country when traveling but also meet new people. In my 15 years of playing basketball I've got a different outlook on life because of what I've learned about being a team and work ethic and everyone in the sports or basketball community respects you because they know the work you have put in to work on your craft. The mindset you have on the sport can be applied to many different aspects of life weather it be a project or just being a leader in the community. Basketball is more than a game but a lifestyle.
