So for today i had a basketball match. My class was playing against other class. Looks like a pretty usual and ordinary event, doesn't it? But no it's not! Because in Lithuania Lithuania things are different than elsewhere. We really do LOVE basketball. We were waiting for this match five days, damn we were excited! And it doesn't matter that it's only a small school level match. Basketball is more than just a game it is a part of our culture too. Every village in my country has a basketball team and at least five places where to play. In my little 2000 people town, we have 7 places where we can play basketball. Three of them are indoor. Then lithuania won bronze at the Basketball world championship, the whole country was crazy!!! Some people even cried after the final match! People say that basketball is our second religion. This game is our genes...
And here's a video of our player Mantas Kalnietis doing a fantastic trick against spanish player Ricky Rubio:
