Easily basketball. That's always been my favorite sport to play, despite being about a foot too short for it.

I've never really had a favorite sport, at least not growing up. I was always little for my age, so never really got into it until the weight lifting thing more recently.

I grew up in a small town and sports participation was not optional. The only way we could field a team was if everyone played, so we all played everything (except football and hockey, because we didn't have the facilities for those).

My parents made me play. I always sucked and everyone always hated having me in their team lol.

I guess I built character or something.
