When I was young (8 - 25 of age), ang pagkakaalam ko talaga BASKETBALL ang pinaka-sikat na laro sa buong mundo, mahilig ako sa basketball pero hinde ko alam kung bakit hindi ako hiligan ng larong ito..
I’m a REGGIE MILLER fan that time, but when I came in Saudi, nagtaka ako kung bakit ang mga ARAB ay hindi alam kung ano ang BASKETBALL
here is my conversation in ARABIC transliteration:
Ana KALAM (I said): Liesh Mafi BASKETBALL COURT hina?
ARAB: Esh Basketball?
Ana KALAM (I said): Inta Mafi Malom Basketball?, Hada El Al-Ab Al Mashura Fil Al-Alam!
ARAB: SOCCER el Al-Ab Al Mashura huna.. ! La ahad ya arif Basketball huna!
Dahil laging ready ang aking LAPTOP at MOBILY3.5G para sa mga ganyang pagtatalo, I Open and Search this matter in YAHOO upang patunayan ko sa kanya kung sino ang TAMA, subalit eto ang tumambad sa akin…

Football (SOCCER)-is a
team sport played between two teams of eleven players using a spherical
ball. It is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world.
-is a
team sport in which a team of players attempt to score
goals by hitting, pushing or flicking the
ball with hockey sticks into the opposing team's goal. Its official name is simply hockey,
[1][2] and this is the common name for it in many countries. However, the name field hockey is used in countries where the word hockey is usually reserved for
another form of hockey, such as
ice hockey or
street hockey.
Tennis
-is a
sport usually played between two players (
singles) or between two teams of two players each (
doubles). Each player uses a strung
racquet to strike a hollow rubber
ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's
court.
Volleyball
-is an
Olympic team sport in which two teams of 6 players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.
[1] This article focuses on competitive indoor volleyball; numerous other
variations of volleyball have developed, most notably the Olympic spin-off sport
beach volleyball.
Table tennis
-is a sport in which two or four
players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth with
rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties of
spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent's options to great advantage.
Baseball
-is a
bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score
runs by hitting a thrown
ball with a
bat and touching a series of four
bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team (the
batting team) take turns hitting against the
pitcher of the other team (the
fielding team), which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters
out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's
hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an
inning; nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
Golf -is a precision club-and-ball
sport, in which competing players (
golfers), using many types of
clubs, attempt to hit
balls into each hole on a
golf course while employing the fewest number of strokes.
Gridiron football
-is an umbrella term used to refer to several similar codes of
football played primarily in the
United States and
Canada. The term refers to the sport's characteristic field of play, which is marked with a series of parallel lines resembling a
gridiron.
