Love and Basketball

If there is any sport Love is like, it has to be basketball. You start this game when you’re a kid. Every year you learn more and more about the game and how to play it. You play on team after team, some good some bad. Then we get to that stage in our life where we just want to be on one team and a good team to finish our careers out with.

Love is like basketball. We play hard we love hard. The ball is as precious as the person in which we are with. We take care of the ball because we never want to lose it. We never want to have it taken from us. When we lose the ball we then play defense waiting to get the steal or the rebound but realize that it doesn’t remove the thought of us losing the ball in the first place and doesn’t feel as good.

Love is like basketball because when we frantically start to search for that love that we start to press. We start to speed things up trying to make things happen, trying to get that winning feeling. Trying to make something out of nothing, but in the process we end up turning the ball over and just playing out of control. Looking at basketball, the best scores come when you're patient and take your time and it’s the same way with love.

Love is basketball and we are the front office of the game. We strive to have that franchise player on our team. Yes players have come through over the years but nothing equals up to that person that can take you, be with you and carry you over the years. When we recognize that player, we go through extensive agreements to have them. Once we have them we aren’t worried about free agency, the draft and players on other teams because we have our franchise player. To us they are our superstar and we can’t wait for the day in which we can induct them in our life long Hall of Fame.

Love is basketball. We have to look at the scoreboard and ask ourselves are we winning, is it tied or are we beating ourselves by our decisions? The thing is, if it is tied, or if we are losing, how long will we continue to use the same strategy? Because looking at the scoreboard there is no time, because any given day our careers could end.

Love and Basketball: Let’s the play the game the right way.
