um the one that i'm most familiar with are the Utah Jazz i guess that's because they they're Utah Jazz
what are they called
Jazz oh never heard of them
uh-huh the Jazz right and they're a fairly new ball team as far as ball teams go um
oh
they probably oh it's probably five to ten years that they've they've been
you know in existence and but they've done really fairly well for for a new team they i think out of the last like eleven games they've won
won nine which is pretty good because a lot of them were on you know on the road and um
oh yeah
i think as far as whichever division they're in they're rated either number one or number two so that's yeah that's fairly good and how about
uh-huh well that's good
yeah well maybe we'll hear of them more often
yeah and how about yourself
well i guess what we have here is the Mavericks is that right basketball what is
oh
what is our Dallas basketball i'm not really sure
the Dallas Mavericks i that
one is soccer one is basketball the Mavericks must be basketball
oh
oh
and uh my daughter plays basketball you wouldn't know it would you from this conversation i'm familiar with the Teddy Bears and they're my favorite
oh well well tell me about yeah tell me about her team how old is she
well now she's twelve so she but she's been playing basketball for four or five years on a little team called Teddy Bears and
oh
oh has she
well how fun
that's been fun so now she just made her middle school team so that's
well great
and they've won so far that's good but uh
she must really enjoy it
yes she likes it a lot yeah she really does and the Lakers i guess is my favorite as far as
well good
as anything i know about basketball yeah because i my boyfriend's in California so
as professionals professional basketball teams
oh uh-huh
i'm gonna have to look at Lakers this year a lot so i guess i'll get used to it i learned a lot about football so
have to at least
oh uh-huh well does a now was was your daughter just interested in basketball or why did she start playing
uh i guess because her friends signed up
oh
and she wanted to sign up she twirls and she's she's been real real involved in that so we haven't had time for soccer
uh-huh
oh
which is the most important thing around here pretty i mean all the little kids play soccer
oh is it
oh
they even have like a preschool soccer team
my word
it's big in Texas and i maybe all over now i don't know but
oh wow
uh it's very big here but we didn't have that time
uh-huh
and so i did let her play basketball and i like it because it's indoors
oh yeah
yeah i like indoor things so yeah
right well that's good if she made her middle school team she must be fairly fairly proficient
yeah well she's pretty fast she's not real big but she's real fast and so um
uh-huh oh oh well yeah it's hard to just for me to picture these little ones that basketball is pretty big to be thrown
yeah
you know up that that high
yeah but oh in the beginning you know they couldn't even make the basket and they were allowed to stand halfway forward to take that take solid shots and they couldn't even get the ball that high because they were so little and not strong enough
uh-huh
oh
right uh-huh
and then uh her last game just before the whistle blew they had two seconds left
oh
she threw the ball from center court and it went right into the basket
oh wow well great oh that's great now do
so she was the hero after all those years of trying to get that ball up in that basket so and so that was pretty fun to see the improvement and her coach was behind us in the bleachers but
uh-huh
from the other team and he said Christmas came early this year so yeah
well how fun now do you have any boys that play or
no my son never played uh basketball he's he's grown and he he's in the band and he swam some
how old is he
uh-huh
mostly he was a student so
oh he was he was he was in
yeah he's a national merit student and he speaks five languages and all that so he wasn't much into sports he did play baseball for a while and he liked that
great oh great
uh-huh
oh
but um he didn't he didn't play basketball at all
well that's fun have you ever played basketball
i did i played basketball in high school i loved it that and volleyball
that is i've just played it for fun i've never done anything you know organized or on a a school team or anything but i think it's a real fun game
uh-huh
yeah i love it i think it's my favorite and it's my favorite to watch
um-hum
and when i was in high school i was a twirler and so
oh
i always enjoyed that and cheerleading you know we got to do it indoors
oh uh-huh right
so i always liked the basketball games better than the football games because you weren't out in the cold so
right
well it seems like i don't know basketball maybe i don't know that much but it doesn't seem like basketball's that aggressive compared to football and
well yeah and it's easier to follow
right
if the ball goes in they get two points football everybody falls on top of each other and it's real difficult to say
um-hum
who right right that's
exactly what went wrong you know for me anyway so
