I'm not a huge basketball fan. I do like the game, it's fast paced and exciting. (Who wouldn't jump to their feet in the wake of a super dupper dunk! ) It's March Madness time too. Everyone gets caught up in March Madness, even if it's "brackets" and not baskets that garner the attention. I love the terminology, "being invited to the big dance"; "sweet sixteen" ; "elite eight"; "final four". There're always lots of stories in the sports pages about individual players. You might learn that a player worked long and hard to overcome a physical handicap or you might read about a player who excelled in spite of a horrible home environment. You can't help but embrace those players and wanting to root them on. It's better not to read the stories about any player who's on a team that might be paired with the team you're rooting for. I usually read the stories and I usually watch many of the games but I didn't this year. I really don't know why. I even filled out a bracket sheet for a contest at the gym. I think I still have a chance to win. I'll pay more attention next weekend when it comes down to the final four.
