I've played basketball for 10 years and was formerly on my school's JV basketball team. I loved playing so much I found myself on a regional team. Unfortunately for me, the physicality and competitiveness only grew with age, and as a short Asian kid at 5'6" comparing to some super-athletic 7' tall guys I found myself falling behind further and further. I've since moved to track, which I very much enjoy. I still play basketball with friends or former teammates sometimes, and still watch it on TV quite often (yeaaa clippersss)
Hockey is the very last sport I'd want to play but it sure is fun as hell to watch
