Crooked Necks

If you take a look around, there are a lot of kids that love to play the sport of basketball. Just about every playground that has a hoop is being used by kids when they get a chance to get out and play. All they need is a hoop, a basketball and the right basketball shoes. The hoops are provided by the parks and recreation department as is the place they are erected. So the kids are on their own to provide the actual basketball and the shoes required to play. The ball is not that hard to get. They are relatively inexpensive. You can find one at just about any store such as walmart, sears, J.C. Penny and Dicks. A couple kids can throw their money in and they come up with a basketball.

Basketball shoes are a different story. Kids see what the pros wear on TV. What they see the pros wear and what the pros endorse is what they want. Now these kids for the most part do not have a lot of money. Their parents may not either. So what do they do? Some resort to stealing. They steal from the store. Some will even steal from other kids. They will take them right off their feet. The whole reason is that they are just that expensive.
