Basketball

So I was at basketball practice today, and I noticed that I've gotten alot better at it then last year. I can catch the ball (Well, like 70% of the time) and I can throw it to people and make it land somewhere close to where I wanted it to, and when I try to get a basket I usually hit the rim at least! ANd in the drills I made like 3 baskets in a row, including one that I totally shouldnt have! 
I can run suicides without being the slowest (I stilll can't do two in a row though, plus my shoes are making my feet bleed) and if I really try I can be as fast as all the boys.
They are confusing though, cuz when we are scrimmaging they never run as fast as they can, and the ones who are fast when they're not trying always make baskets while everyone but me lags behind and its like we switched teams, cuz the other team is at our basket with the ball while we are still back at their side. So why don't they just run faster?
I am still pretty bad at basketball though, I get flustered easily and miss a catch or throw it badly or just forget to defense.
Plus people use all these wierd names for things like layups or jump shots or other stuff that I forget and I don't want to tell George that I don't know what those are cuz there's so many people on the team that that would be kind of selfish taking away from their practice. I don't know how they all know what those are cuz nobody ever told me.

basketball, team, suicides, george
