A is for your attitude; sportsmanship or not.
S is for the shots, the 3 pointers, rebounds, and free throws.
K is for the kind of game you play, not whether you win or lose, but how you play.
E is for the excited fans, whether you win or lose, they're yelling in the stands.
T is for the technical your coach gets when you have bad refs, and he gets excited.
B is for the basketball, a leather sphere that is the center of your attention.
A is for your agressiveness during the game, but after, you can joke with the friend you fouled.
L is for the last second when a long 3 point puts you up by 2.
L is for the losses, many at first, but then you begin to have few.
...That's what basketball is all about!
