The ball bounces with a steady beat,
Sneakers squeaking, rhythm so sweet.
Players weaving in a dance so fine,
On this hardwood stage, they shine.

The crowd’s roar, a thunderous wave,
Each play, a story, the heroes brave.
The clock ticks down, the tension grows,
In every heart, the passion shows.

A swish, a dunk, the game unfolds,
Legends rising, tales retold.
Under the lights, in the heat of night,
They chase the dream, they fight the fight.

The final buzzer, the game is done,
Victory claimed, or lost by one.
But in each soul, the fire stays lit,
For the love of the game, they’ll never quit.
