3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

So this weekend, my fellowship hosted a 3 on 3 basketball tournament inviting other Christian fellowships from other Virginia universities. It actually surprised me how many people were there.There were probably over 15 teams at this tournament and so many people there too watch. People from VCU, JMU, GMU, UVA came all the way down too. I ended up making a team with a few of my church friends. To tell you the truth, we were just an average team. I did not expect us to get far at all considering we had a 5 players on the team, and 1 of them never plays basketball, and one just got surgery on his knee so he lost all his speed. So basically we had 3 good players including me, but I have back and knee problems and my other friend had a sinus infection. So basically all of us were not exactly in the best shape to be playing in a three on three tournament.

We surprisingly got to the semi's. If we won we would have gone to the finals! Its funny how I didn't expect to even get past the first round, but yet we got so close.

At tournament though, I saw how important glory is to people of this world. Basically no one, I mean NO ONE, watched the B league Championship game because of the A league championship game. This showed how important glory was because everyone that played in B league was saying how they don't care that they lost anymore because just look, no one cares.

That is kind of bad because I think that we should be playing for ourselves, and for our own love of the game rather than playing to please others. I mean yes we love to play ball, but no offense I think you don't actually love ball if you play just to get attention from the opposite sex or to be known in the korean community as being a "baller." This applies to other things in life as well as well.

Sorry if this makes me sound like a total douchebag, but thats just what I think, and I hope no one takes offense to that.

Well thats all I have to share. Goodbye

  1. I completely agree with you. Do something because you love it, not for the glory.

  3. Douchebag!

    Just kidding. I totally think you're right: this applies to a lot of things that people do for the appearance of them...but your quality of life is so much better when you're able to do things just for the things themselves...
