Dear Basketball
From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:
I fell in love with you
A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul
As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel
I only saw myself
Running out of one
And so I ran
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more
