Read the article below, and the poem entitled "Dear Basketball." Respond to one of the three writing prompts at the end of the page. 

"Dear Basketball" by Kobe Bryant
Picture
Bryant wrote a poem in 2015 as a farewell to the sport he loved; it served as his announcement that the 2015-16 season would be his last. In the poem, recognizing that his body can no longer bear the game's demands, he accepts the inevitably of retirement.

In your notebook, respond to one of the following. 
  1. Write a letter to something you love but need to give up.
  2. Write a letter to something you still enjoy.
  3. Write a letter to something/someone you have lost, but wish you could still enjoy​.
