My favorite part about the basketball games is watching the facial expressions of the players — Kobe Bryant sticking his tongue out as he makes another three, Quincy Acy’s excited screams as he dunks the ball over an opponent, the player who cries as the opposing team’s final shot ends his college basketball career. Those moments in basketball make the game much more genuine; they tell the story of people who truly love the game. A lot of people are afraid to show their true emotions, but these men let it all out. The looks of frustration when one misses a free throw, the appreciation for their teammates when they make an incredible basket — every emotion is out there in the open for people to witness. Often, unlike these players, we try to hide our emotions; we put on a mask so that everyone thinks that everything is OK. We are afraid to show that we are happy for fear that people will not take us seriously. However, if we hide our feelings, people don’t get to know who we truly are. If we lose a game in the tournament of life, it’s OK to show disappointment. If we accom- plish a difficult task, it’s OK to show your excite- ment to others. Whether you’re on a basketball court, classroom or office, it’s OK to show your emotion. Show you love life the way the basketball players show they love the game. After all, it’s what makes us human.
