The passion The love The game.

You play your best to the end. Sweat runs down your face hustling up and down the court Cheering as the score board numbers go up. This is your chance the score is 99 to 99. There is 10 seconds on the clock. You have the ball everybody is guarded you run up 2 seconds This kid runs up to you shoot you miss it. You miss it you are so disappointed. Wait the wref just ran on the court it’s a foul 2 shots. He misses the first the last shot he takes it. The shot is out. Game over. His coach walks up to him and says For the love of the game win or lose you are always a winner.
