| Jazz vs 76ers |
I have never been much of a sports fan but my friend continues to introduce me to
sports. Like anything, familiarly brings comfort and I guess now I can say that
I am merging into a fan! I think basketball might be on the top of the list. Recently I experienced my first professional NBA
basketball game in Salt Lake City Utah-Jazz vs 76ers.
Reflection
Pittsburgh is a sports town and I have recently tried professional hockey, (Day 91-Pittsburgh Penguins) baseball,
(Day 110-Pirates Spring Training), and football, (Day 95-Going to Steelers Game). However, Pittsburgh does not have a professional basketball team. Watching
NBA basketball was super exciting because it's fast passed action with unbelievable
shots! Maybe I liked it so much because
the arena had one of the biggest screens
ever! You could see every player's expression
and you felt as if you were right
in the game.
I really did not have
a favorite team. Since I love to dance, I liked
the name “Jazz” for team Utah, but
felt that I should have some
allegiance to 76er because I am from Pennsylvania. (I am sure that this reasoning makes real sports fans cringe.) In any event, I
was going to be happy no matter who won but I was glad for the home town win for Utah!
I will defiantly go to another NBA game because they are so
exciting and fast moving. I might have
to settle for a University of Pitt game though.
Spiritual Reflection
Remember that in a
race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize. You also must run in
such a way that you will win. All athletes practice strict self-control. They
do to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.
(1 Corinthians 10: 24,25)
