Poem
In the game of basketball, It's up and down the court; Ready to dribble and shoot, Each player shows his worth. One cager emerges superb, From every angle scoring; He drives hard to the basket As the fans stand, cheering. He plays the center role, Standing six-foot-eleven; Armed with two big hands As well as long fingers ten. The heart of a champion Beats in determination; Either offense or defense Has an ample attention. He knocks down three-pointers, Doing fade away jumpers; Hauling down big rebounds, Like a machine in four quarters. He leaves the defenders in shock, Using his lateral quickness; He issues lightning-quick assists, Highlighting no-look passes. Taking fouls from ferocious foe, He is strong in body and mind; He goes straight to the stripe, Making free throws from the line. He blocks every single shot, Making a fruitful fastbreak; Doing double crossover To put an icing on a cake. Hard to stop catch-and-shoot, Points his team pile up; But the other wants to take the lead, To emerge and win the cup. In the last two minutes The score is tied at 99 all; The great dribbler dunks, Wanting not to lose or fall. After the tie-breaking shot, He steals from the point guard; He wants a step-back jumper Done by the power forward. But behold the other quintet Defending so very tight; The lead remains at two, Until they make it all right. The very exciting game To overtime period goes; As both clubs deliver, Trading every shot that flows. With half a second remaining, To give up no one does want; After the last full time-out, Both hope to be in front. The ball now is in his hands, The score is still the same; He makes the last shot to earn The best player of the game.
