It is very sad indeed that most of the guys in any ward I have ever been in seem to think that you "have" to play basketball. The problem is, despite what someone else previously posted, not everyone can play basketball. Now it is true that not everyone can play volleyball either but I prefer volleyball over basketball any day. Because for some reason jungle ball is allowed in volleyball but not basketball. Don't get me wrong I am NOT a jungle ball enthusiast, but that is for another thread. And I've noticed that whenever I have gone out to play basketball that I don't get invited back. So much for building quorum unity.
