As I have proved in my previous articles I am a BIG basketball fan. The NBA is OK to watch but the superstars get all the brakes and nobody plays defense. College basketball is what to watch. Especially the league tournaments and the NCAA tournament. Making a bracket is fun because you want to see you skills with predicting and you can compete with friends.
During the season in college the games are often between no names and the top ten. Leading to very predictable blowouts. In the NCAA tournament there are plenty of blowouts but every team has a chance to win, even if they are a 16 seed (not very likely). This season there have been some great upsets. American coming close to beating Villanova, Cleveland State beating Wake Forest, Arizona beating Utah, and some more minor upsets. I am personally a UNC fan and am pulling for them to win the national championship. Even if don't win I would be disappointed but simply watching so many good games is worth it.

The best world record
I think that the best world record to have is fastest man. I mean just think about how cool that is, you are the fastest person in the world. It also shows that you worked incredibly hard for something. You have to spend years working on your start, the middle of the race, and a good finish. Even after all of that work it comes down to a little under 10 seconds. If you have a bad start, your lose if you don't accelerate fast enough your lose.

Costco
I love the store Costco. One reason is the chocolate muffins. They're huge, and they have chocolate chips in them. Whenever I have them for breakfast I wish I could have them every morning. I love donuts but if I had to choose between donuts and Costco chocolate muffin, no doubt in my mind, chocolate muffin wins.
I also love their pizza. They have the biggest pizza slices and they're just so good! They never burn the pizza which is the problem with a lot of pizzas'. The sauce if you eat it folded, runs down the sides there is so much. And there is so much cheese, although sadly it sometimes comes off in a big bite. So that is why I LOVE COSTCO!

Basketball
(This article is a continuation of my article Sports)
My original basketball after all its bad luck finally one a championship the year after my other team. I had broken my finger early in the season and had to miss a couple games. The games didn't matter though because they were just seeding games. We were placed in a low division as we hadn't done well in the seeding games. I came back after missing one of the regular season games. Although my playing was short lived as I broke my foot three weeks after coming back from the finger injury.
My team was not hurt by my injury and it actually helped because it allowed for our best players to play more. We didn't do well in the regular season and were the lowest seed in the playoffs. This seemed like it would lead to another disappointing season but we beat the second seed in the opening round in the playoffs. Then we beat a team that had two players who used to play for our team who we have a rivalry of sorts with. After our second win, we were in the championship game. The team we were playing had beaten us by a close margin during the regular season so we knew what to expect from them. The game was a good one. We were down early, but after some good shots we managed to take a two point lead. Our lead was never more than four points throughout the game. Going into the final minute we had a two point lead after one of our centers made two free throws. The other team took a couple shots but none fell. Although we had two different one and ones we missed both of the free throws. In the closing seconds they took a shot from the baseline but we pressured the player and he shot an air ball. So the final score of the game was 24-22 with us winning. We had finally one a championship!
