Ok, this is not really the NBA finals.

It's just a one-on-one backyard basketball game between these 2 kids. In the Philippines, basketball is one of the most popular sport, and many kids dream of being local professional basketball players when they grow up.

The improvised basketball court is made up of recycled wooden and metal materials. The ball and the ring are 50% smaller, and the height of the court is only 7-8 feet. Despite the uncemented, rocky and cramped playground, it is a paradise for these kids.

Took this shot from a distance, thus it's a little bit grainy and not so sharp.

Great shot Alford. You really caught a hook shot here. The shanty in the background really completes this picture. You're right about basketball - it's practically a national sport and past time here.

Nice one, you catch the action !

Très belle composition !!
Belle ambiance et les couleurs sont vraiment magnifiques
Bravo

Hi Alford. I'm afraid that court and rim doesn't meet NBA specs! lol! At any rate a very nice moment with a fantastic stopping of the action. I like the wide angle here because we can see all about the place. Good shooting Alford!

It is a very nice, colorful and detailed photograph. I like the detail of the house and the action from the kids.

very good timing alford. too bad I missed the real NBA finals yesterday. I like the color and contrast of your photo. you just brought me back on my younger year co'z my friends and I usually do this, create our own basketball court that is not so high where we can slam dunk using a ball that we can grip and play around it in the air like Jordan. thanks for sharing this.....rgds

WSuch a perfect title fot your picture lford, I'm a fan of US basketball, I can recognize here Tony Parker style. Lolely picture, a great scene...I can call this moment the hang time baby ;o). Everybody can enjoy this sport, I'm glad it is improvised in such place.
Good shot, nice timing

Interesting shot here, I like the colour of the clothes here, it really brings out the life in this shot, the kids are having ample fun and the place is very local, well done

Hi Alford. Fun title for this lovely catch of the kids playing basketball in the yard. A great daily life shot in which the simple building and the hanging laundry make a unique setting for the activity that we can watch. Nice photo.

Hi Alford.
Otimo momento do quotidiano, as cores e o fundo ficaram otimos. Gosto da dinamica dessa composição.
Greetings.

Hi Alford. A pleasing daily life shot, rendered with great clarity. Good dynamics, one can feel the action. The woman in the shadows adds a further dimension. The portrayal of the modest habitat gives us a full sense that despite their modest means, the boys are still able to have great fun.
Well done. Regards.
John

good shot Alford
you capture the right moment

Great daily life shot for these kids. It's nice to see how they've improvised this court to play and emulate their favorite players. And who knows, maybe one day they'll be on tv. It's a good moment you captured with them in the air adding dynamism to the scene and the distance at which you took it adds some nice space to show what their environment is like. I just think of the players that earn millions to play and contrast it with this scene. Nicely captured Alford.
