BASKETBALL IN SINGAPORE!
Hello! I am Neville and once again I will be discussing about sport lifestyles in Singapore!
Basketball is one of the
most well enjoyed sports in Singapore! Many teens, especially the guys, play
basketball! So girls, maybe, if you would like to meet some guys, grab a ball and head down to the nearest basketball court to play some bball ;) *wink* lol just kidding I still have to maintain my image in this blog :D :p
Every few streets down the road, you’ll see a public basketball court. It can be a street basketball court, or a community center indoor one. Hence if you’re living in Singapore, don’t wait anymore, get down to the nearest basketball court and shoot some hoops JJJ
What if I do not know how to play
basketball!?!?!?
Everyone starts from
somewhere, even if you’re not good at basketball, or don’t even know the basics
to playing it, don’t fret! Because in Singapore, we’re easily connected by our
friends. We can always learn from them. Learning a new sport is not easy, but
not the hardest task in the world either.

Basketball is a good sport for relieving the high stress we take in in Singapore. For most of us, whenever we hear the word basketball, we think of
the NBA, the 3 pointer shots, the tall guys dunking down the hoops. But no,
basketball is not all about the competition. In Singapore, to lead a sporty
lifestyle, I think the fun-competitive basketball would be the more perfect
one, rather than the competitive-competitive basketball.
Enjoying the sport! :)
Yes, you are right! J Which is why my point isn’t to eradicate all
forms of competitiveness in the sport, but rather, to put FUN in front of competition. When playing a game with other people, who may soon become your friend after the game, don't take it too seriously, just play. Don't fight if you lose, but rather, learn from your opposing team, and improve your skills from then on.
From my experience, a lot of the positive experience from playing basketball comes from improving one's skills, having our friends acknowledge that we've improved, being able to meet new people, play with them & also to be able to enjoy something we love doing with other people that enjoys the same. It sounds simple, but this simplicity is the building blocks to having a good time in Basketball.
Not to mention, as we enjoy it, we are keeping ourselves fit! For the guys, don't you want to get that 6 packs abs?? And the hourglass slim figures for the girls? :) Then this is the perfect sport for you!

End of part 1 of Basketball in Singapore
To be continued
To sum things up for this post, basketball can be a very ideal sport for most people in Singapore. It is fun, it keeps us healthy and fit, and it builds teamwork, which is a good value to have.
So, what do you feel about basketball now? Are you going to call up your friends and shoot a ball or two? Leave a comment below and tell me about it :)
This is just part 1 of 2 in my discussion on enjoying basketball as a sport in Singapore. You may not be convinced to buy a $50 basketball and start shooting now, but stay tuned! Because in my next post, I will sum everything up on why basketball is such a perfect sport to play in Singapore! I guarantee you! :D

This is quite similar to America, well I guess it's the same everywhere. Basketball is the most popular street sport here too XD. But, is there any difference between Singapore's custom rules and US custom rules in bball?
ReplyDeleteSome countries aren't as fortunate as ours to be able to find basketball courts everywhere around their house :/ Whenever I think of US and basketball, I think of tall black people dunking down the hoops lel :v
DeleteAs for the rules, there shouldn't be a difference. It's still basketball afterall. I'm gonna post up another post for more info on Bball and how it blends into Singapore lifestyle so good :D Please continue to follow us on this :)

Hmm, Interesting topic on basketball. I'm not really a fan on basketball(or any form of sports) but the information regarding about how one does not have to treat it like it's a competition seems to intrigued me. In sports, majority of the people feel it is just competition itself but i believe that the minority just want to enjoy the sport itself. Great topic, hope to see more!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am part of the minority XD I started out slightly disliking basketball too. Never did I expect to enjoy it so much because of my friends :) I suggest you try it out too :D
DeleteThanks :) More post to come soon! :D

Indeed basketball is really loved in country like US or in asia.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately , here is soccer the most popular sport so not a lot of people actually play basketball.
but I agree that it's pretty fun to play , like volley ball :D
Yeaa :D Soccer is quite popular here too :) I like volley ball too XD

Basketball is an awesome sport to play. I love team sports :D. Here is soccer more popular though. We have a basketball court here, but you always see people playing soccer there xD. It's a true man's sport here, so it's rare for girls to play it, but I like basketball :).
