The Beauty and Essence of a Basketball Court ~ A Short Piece



It brings a sense of peace. A sense of enjoyment. Even a sense of reflection.


For many, a basketball court is a place to unwind, a safe haven, and even home. The court can be defined by the sounds that can be heard from it. From the ball bouncing on the concrete or hardwood to the squeaking of shoes while the players run up and down the court, the basketball court is like a canvas. One can paint the backboard on a layup and thread the needle with a great pass. For some, basketball is a way for someone too escape the reality that they are in. It's a way for many to unwind, relive stress, and just ball out with their friends. To many, Basketball is not just a sport. It is a way of life.


A basketball court can give a person memories to last a lifetime.
