For me, it feels weird to state that basketball is a passion of mine. This is because throughout my life, while I have played a collection of different sports, I have always been a big football guy. I did not mean big as in size because that\u2019s obviously not true, I meant more in terms of interest. In recent years, though, I have spent more time involved with basketball. I believe that this change has occurred because of the basic nature of the sport. Unlike football, to play a game there does not have to be a distinct number of players. Pick up games are very common at most gyms and rec centers so it is easy for someone to get in a game if he or she wanted to. The other reason why I have fostered a strong interest in basketball is because of the digital side of the sport. I enjoy spending some of my time watching basketball games. The abundance of games available makes this easy to do. Also, one of my favorite video games that I consistently play is NBA2K. I have been playing them on my xbox for a couple of years now and they are pretty fun. Because of all of this time that I have invested and continue to invest in the sport of basketball, I would say it is a passion of mine. It is a part of what makes me the person I am. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 One thing that I am fairly passionate about is basketball.
