Dialogue

A: Sabe pai, é raro ver alguém que gosta mais de basquete do que você.
B: É, pode ser, eu sou só um velho rato de academia que ficou esgotado e devagar.
A: Então, por que é que você gosta tanto de basquete?
B: Sabe, é aquela sensação de quando você finge que vai pra direita, vira à esquerda, e deixa o defensor comendo poeira...
A: Nada é mais lindo do que o barulhinho da cesta de chuá entrando direto.
B: E pra mim o melhor é quando você bloqueia um arremesso e a bola bate lá na terceira fila da arquibancada.
A: E você podia enterrar a bola?
B: Sabe, eu nunca fui muito bom com as enterradas, mas com certeza fazia um gancho lindo.


A: You know dad, it’s rare to see anyone who loves basketball as much as you do.
B: Yeah, that might be true, I’m just an old gym rat who happens to be worn out and slow.
A: So why do you love basketball so much?
B: You know, it’s the feeling you get when you fake to the right, drive to the left, and then leave that defender in the dust…
A: For me is that cool swish sound when its nothin’ but net!
B: And for me the best is when you block a shot and knock the ball clear into the third row of the fan seats.
A: So, could you dunk it?
B: You know, I never was really great at dunking it, but I had a sweet hook shot for sure!
