'Basketball reminded me that no matter how hard I strive to be unlike my father, there would always be a thread that connects us.' | via philstarlife
The UAAP season is back. The NBA playoffs are underway. Gyms, and even streets, are hearing rubber pound on the ground once more. Five years ago, I wouldn’t have been as excited for basketball’s return, but here I am, eagerly anticipating each marquee match-up. What changed?
Then it hit me: I was unconsciously using basketball as more than just a fleeting interest, but as a means to reminisce about simpler times, when it was easy to dislike LeBron James, when trying out for the varsity team was the worst of my worries, and when connecting with my dad seemed impossible. My old man isn’t usually very expressive. He’s rigid and excessively calculated, much like Spock from Star Trek. But basketball? Now that has the potential to soften his heart.
. My dad worked as a senior programmer for most of my childhood, but you wouldn’t get that impression if you only saw him at night. He owns and handles a basketball league for Information Technology professionals who want to unwind after a long day’s work.
