Idea details:
I like to play Basketball. There is a lot of ways you can earn points in Basketball. There are three pointers, two pointers, dunks — worth one point — and fouls, worth two and three pointers so if I make a three point shot twelve times in a row I would earn thirty-six points for my team. Sometimes it gets confusing but I check what I'm doing wrong and I figure out the answer.
