SLAM DUNK


ze storyline was based right off post swimming era. i was just a little well over 12, and SLAM DUNK anime is always shown on AXN channel. My fav. just after school in the afternoon i could just sit on the couch & stay glued to the tv till all the anime series is done.

then this humorous yet serious basketball series were an amazing exposure i had, little did i know i was slowly getting hooked on the game on basketball. It grew watching tentative these superb anime.
Shohoku's bands of members, well my favourite character during the competition gotta be Mitsui cus he's a premier 3 point shooter with an exceptional skill. the team comprises an unconventional mix of talents to make it a superb five.
as each episodes passed by, it slowly ignited the intensive fire in me to have a shot at basketball after swimming, & short stint with football. i started playing when i was thirteen, it was one fine morning accompanied with my friends. and then...
i've started to play with my classmates in the afternoon. i sucked at first, as everyone would. but i kept sticking with learning the fundamentals... And so, the story had coveted much of a slamdunk anime fans. slowly, my skill developed and tracy macgrady was the NBA player i once used to adore. But my favourite team was BOSTON CELTICS nonetheless.
i started joining competitions, & the times i had in between every single ones of my teammates & now bestie was great. Actually the best part of learning how to play ball, was learning every canton bad words that would come. MAHAI, MACAOHAI, CAOCIBAI, DIUNIAHAI, KANINIA, Diuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. FUCK! how come miss wan... hehe. the endless yamcha session
well well, i've even started chasing each NBA games broadcast live on ESPN & Starsports. The Playoff was a treat because every player dream was to get their hands on the golden potbelly & be the CHAMPIONS of the WORLD.
Honestly, some of the best moment i've had was living through competitions. the moments i can be serious. Yes i've falter before & that's some of the things that made me better not just a player but a person as a whole. Not forgetting the off court dramas, you know we had factions divided & i'd never will understand too. Some people just doesn't like you & i don't give a damn about it cos i know i never done anything wrong in first place. If having a swagger was wrong then too bad, i just got an unshakable love for my own confidence.
the LAKERS, oh well some of the team i despised. but these feeling of hate had evaporated with maturation and common sense. i've sweat, got injured, played under the rain, under many circumstances. even considered basketball as my wife... these game is not just a game, it is about life too.
Undoubtly, basketball had shaped me. yeah, although i couldn't dunk i'm really glad i could be playing the game of love. Soaring and trying to achieve dreams, it had taught me to work hard & be daring to accomplish your dreams.
Swooosh, as you know 08 was the year of Celtics. as a fans i'm really super duper damn happy to watch them triumphant over LAKERS. hehe peace up to Paul & the crew.
when i was down, i digged down & search for answers. watching MJ was probably one of the best things i could have learn as a life journey

*In basketball -- as in life -- true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way.
*Like life, basketball is messy and unpredictable. It has its way with you, no matter how hard you try to control it. The trick is to experience each moment with a clear mind and open heart. When you do that, the game--and life--will take care of itself.that was the first year i've joined and1 btw. thank you everything that you had given me. these were chronicles of my growing pains and sweet stuff i encounter while playing a simple game of basketball. :) much more than just a game.
