Big's Story

Hello reader,hoping you're doing your best in the chase for change and chance,yours truly serves you with this read. The prompt behind this was a random thought at a random hour of day about the game I so much love,basketball. I stalled in birthing it here because I was quite unsure about whether reader's would enjoy an entirely sporty piece. Here we are regardless,on that courty vibe.

Basketball is a game of wit,to which height is a huge addition. Most coaches plant the tall players at the base for obvious reasons,rebounds and last man clean up business. This is a lot of work . To the smaller men,this is not to say your bakes and shakes are unnecessary. Matter of fact they are as vital as securing an offensive rebound. This right here however was a party for the bigs. They get all the attention and appraisal. 

Big men are selfless,vocal and are expected to run fast enough and reach both ends in good time. The smalls can be selfish with the ball making big men their good beasts of burden.  Not that I am a great big man,but being a big man has taught me a lot that could apply in life. Most of which I don't apply,I know them in theory and sharing is caring. 
I think this is where the phrase be the bigger person means. Standing up to a situation when you should. 

Know when you are needed to be the bigger person. In event that someone else is,please remember to be thankful to them. Appreciate them however best you can. In all this remember to see the bigger picture, the big story.
