Reality of Basketball
20 seconds and counting
The score is 80-81
Running like the wind
He makes a hard cut right
Then left
Sweat pours off his body
Around a defender
Up the line
10 seconds left
The ball is passed to him
He aims up
5 seconds
Takes the shot
Misses
The game is a defeat
The crowd booing
He walks off
