Hoops is: (in my words) Contest
Win this rare but sweet Jordan Nike Rc card by giving your poetic
definition of what Hoops is to you.
Here is a example of what I'm looking for>
Hoops IS
by JSA
Hoops is the slam dunk. The suspense as a player
cuffs the ball in one hand, and takes off into the air.
Its the breath taking move, the body twist as he
slips by a defender, eyes never leaving the rim.
Its the sound of thunder as he hammers the ball
through the rim . Its the howl and staredown he
gives the oppossing player as he runs back up the
court.
All members will vote to pick the winner. Winner will be announced
this Monday Aug 9th so hurry and get those entries in.
Thanks
JSA

Hoops is a way of life. A profession, a job, a way to make a living. Whether it be on the court or off, it doesnt even have to be athletic ability. It can be writing or coaching, athletic training or equipment sales. Hoops is a way of life and will always be my way of living.

Hoops is the goal that draws you.
It is hard work and heart.
It is one-on-one.
It is teamwork.
It is just a taste of what basketball is....
... for it is so much more.

Hoops is something you grow up with, and live for. Its something that you may not think you NEED in your life, but you realize its because you already HAVE it! The thrill of beating someone in a game of one on one drives you to play harder and practice more! The excitement of learning a new move or perfecting your shot keeps you trying harder and harder. The thought of being better then everyone else gives you the determination you need to thrive on, and get closer to many goals in your life. Believe or not, a true baller will recognize that HOOPS IS their way of life, one way or another.

Hopps is a life evolving passion. From the first Little basket you buy for your kids to the first real basket you put in the driveway but have to have it set so low that they can reach it for a dunk. As the kids get older you move it up a little til it finally reach the 10' mark. The look on the faces of the neighborhood kids as they play and fall down, but get right back up. The term no blood no foul. The way they play in thier first Junior High game in front of all the parents. The look on his face and the lump in your throat when he makes his first real basket. The hug and trip to get ice cream after his first loss and the elation after his first win. Hoops can be alot of things but it has been the bond that I gained watching my boys grow up.
Chuck.

Hoops is the heartstoping/heartpounding last shot of a close game.
Hoops runs through every part of the body & mind of those who play.
Hoops is the dream of every little boy who has hopes of making it big one day in the NBA.
Hoops is love of the hobby;the jumping up & down as you make that big trade for cards of the player you worshiped as a kid.
Hoops,is the love of the game!

Hoops is my religion.
I pray to Saints Michael, Magic, Wilt, Kareem, & Cooz.
I pay my homage to Elgin, The Pearl, Dr Dunkenstein.
I believe in god when I see Bird's sweet Jumper.
I know that DR J is not a mere mortal.
Praise the lord and give me an amen, Hoops is my religion.

Hoops is a number of greatly unique things. It's a passion that cannot be described, only felt. The feeling of the ball rolling off your fingertips after the perfect followthrough, the echoes in an empty gym as you pound the hardwood, the sweat and tears poured from your soul as you give everything you have just to taste victory. It is the one heartbeat that you share with your teammates, your brothers. It is the relentless drive inside that pushes you to be your best.
Hoops is my heart. Hoops is my life. Hoops is forever.
