[speaker001:] um the one that I'm most familiar with are the Utah Jazz I guess that's because they they're Utah Jazz
[speaker002:] what are they called Jazz oh never heard of them
[speaker001:] uh-huh the Jazz right and they're a fairly new ball team as far as ball teams go um
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] they probably oh it's probably five to ten years that they've they've been you know in existence and but they've done really fairly well for for a new team they I think out of the last like eleven games they've won won nine which is pretty good because a lot of them were on you know on the road and um
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] I think as far as whichever division they're in they're rated either number one or number two so that's yeah that's fairly good and how about
[speaker002:] uh-huh well that's good yeah well maybe we'll hear of them more often
[speaker001:] yeah and how about yourself
[speaker002:] well I guess what we have here is the Mavericks is that right basketball what is
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] what is our Dallas basketball I'm not really sure
[speaker001:] the Dallas Mavericks I that
[speaker002:] one is soccer one is basketball the Mavericks must be basketball
[speaker001:] oh oh
[speaker002:] and uh my daughter plays basketball you wouldn't know it would you from this conversation I'm familiar with the Teddy Bears and they're my favorite
[speaker001:] oh well well tell me about yeah tell me about her team how old is she
[speaker002:] well now she's twelve so she but she's been playing basketball for four or five years on a little team called Teddy Bears and
[speaker001:] oh oh has she well how fun
[speaker002:] that's been fun so now she just made her middle school team so that's
[speaker001:] well great
[speaker002:] and they've won so far that's good but uh
[speaker001:] she must really enjoy it
[speaker002:] yes she likes it a lot yeah she really does and the Lakers I guess is my favorite as far as
[speaker001:] well good
[speaker002:] as anything I know about basketball yeah because I my boyfriend's in California so
[speaker001:] as professionals professional basketball teams oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] I'm gonna have to look at Lakers this year a lot so I guess I'll get used to it I learned a lot about football so
[speaker001:] have to at least oh uh-huh well does a now was was your daughter just interested in basketball or why did she start playing
[speaker002:] uh I guess because her friends signed up
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and she wanted to sign up she twirls and she's she's been real real involved in that so we haven't had time for soccer
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh
[speaker002:] which is the most important thing around here pretty I mean all the little kids play soccer
[speaker001:] oh is it oh
[speaker002:] they even have like a preschool soccer team
[speaker001:] my word
[speaker002:] it's big in Texas and I maybe all over now I don't know but
[speaker001:] oh wow
[speaker002:] uh it's very big here but we didn't have that time
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and so I did let her play basketball and I like it because it's indoors
[speaker001:] oh yeah
[speaker002:] yeah I like indoor things so yeah
[speaker001:] right well that's good if she made her middle school team she must be fairly fairly proficient
[speaker002:] yeah well she's pretty fast she's not real big but she's real fast and so um
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh oh well yeah it's hard to just for me to picture these little ones that basketball is pretty big to be thrown
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know up that that high
[speaker002:] yeah but oh in the beginning you know they couldn't even make the basket and they were allowed to stand halfway forward to take that take solid shots and they couldn't even get the ball that high because they were so little and not strong enough
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh right uh-huh
[speaker002:] and then uh her last game just before the whistle blew they had two seconds left
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] she threw the ball from center court and it went right into the basket
[speaker001:] oh wow well great oh that's great now do
[speaker002:] so she was the hero after all those years of trying to get that ball up in that basket so and so that was pretty fun to see the improvement and her coach was behind us in the bleachers but
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] from the other team and he said Christmas came early this year so yeah
[speaker001:] well how fun now do you have any boys that play or
[speaker002:] no my son never played uh basketball he's he's grown and he he's in the band and he swam some
[speaker001:] how old is he uh-huh
[speaker002:] mostly he was a student so
[speaker001:] oh he was he was he was in
[speaker002:] yeah he's a national merit student and he speaks five languages and all that so he wasn't much into sports he did play baseball for a while and he liked that
[speaker001:] great oh great uh-huh oh
[speaker002:] but um he didn't he didn't play basketball at all
[speaker001:] well that's fun have you ever played basketball
[speaker002:] I did I played basketball in high school I loved it that and volleyball
[speaker001:] that is I've just played it for fun I've never done anything you know organized or on a a school team or anything but I think it's a real fun game
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah I love it I think it's my favorite and it's my favorite to watch
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and when I was in high school I was a twirler and so
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] I always enjoyed that and cheerleading you know we got to do it indoors
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh right
[speaker002:] so I always liked the basketball games better than the football games because you weren't out in the cold so
[speaker001:] right well it seems like I don't know basketball maybe I don't know that much but it doesn't seem like basketball's that aggressive compared to football and
[speaker002:] well yeah and it's easier to follow
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] if the ball goes in they get two points football everybody falls on top of each other and it's real difficult to say
[speaker001:] um-hum who right right that's
[speaker002:] exactly what went wrong you know for me anyway so
