I used to be a basketball fanatic,I've been playing since I was a kid.I still play the game every now & then to keep fit.I'm not great in playing it,but I can handle my own inside the court.
But living in Europe for the past 5 years,sort of opened my eyes.It's not a basketball world afterall.The world actually plays football {or soccer for Americans & Filipinos}.From Europe to Africa,Middle East to Asia,people play football.
So why do filipinos play basketball and not football?I really don't know.As far as my observation is,Basketball is not suited for us because we are a "Bansot" race.Basketball is a tall man's game.
We could be better in playing football.Because you don't have to be really tall to play it.What you need is skill,pace and technique,which we Filipinos automatically have.
I am not even saying,let's forget basketball all together.What we could probably do,is to pay a little bit of attention to other sports we could really be good at.Football I think is one of those.
And probably ask ourselves the question.The whole world is playing it,even the americans has recognized this.So why do we Filipino's still ignore it?And to think we could actually be good at it.
And so goes my first post.
