Basketball is Easy

By: Brant Stewart

I think that people will get mad when I say basketball is an easy sport. There are many reasons why I say this one being that it's not very physical. All you do is run up and down a court. Even the greatest quarterback of all time Tom Brady says that basketball is one of the easiest sports. He says that he could tell he was like sixty if he played basketball. Basketball players also get fouls almost every play because when they get touched they fall over. I interviewed some of the students in our school to see their opinions on this.

The first student I interviewed is a non basketball player. It is Tucker Gillilan He said “I think basketball is a stuped sport and really easy as all they do is run up and down a court.” Tucker is a football player as well as wrestled this year. He is a freshman and as you can tell has the same opinion as me. He was more harsh with it but thinks that it is an easy sport.

The next student I interviewed is a basketball player, Cutter Rayside said “Even though basketball seems like we're just running up and down the court it is almost one the most tiring sports and you have to work really hard and stay in really good shape to play.” Cutter is also a freshman who played on the freshman basketball team this year and also swung JV. He has a different opinion than me and Tucker as you can tell.

As you can see there is a different opinion and one that's almost the same. Tucker Gillilan thought that basketball was an easy sport and Cutter rayside thought that it was very tiring and hard. I think that it is an easy sport to play. All of these opinions matter but, think there is more evidence for why basketball is an easy sport to play.
