Ever wonder why some sports just feel more exciting than others? In May 2023 we asked the simple question, “What is your favourite sport and why?” The answer that popped up was basketball – and the reasons are surprisingly relatable.
Basketball moves at a breakneck speed. A single possession can swing from a slam dunk to a steal in seconds. That quick rhythm means you never know what’s coming next, and it’s the same reason we love watching it through the lens. Photographers chase every jump, every rebound, capturing that split‑second energy before it fades.
Unlike solo sports, basketball thrives on collaboration. A perfect pass, a well‑timed screen, and a coordinated defense show how players rely on each other. That sense of camaraderie translates into great storytelling – each frame tells a story of trust and shared effort. It’s why we see more group shots and high‑five moments in our galleries.
Beyond the excitement, basketball offers tangible health benefits. The constant running improves cardio, while dribbling sharpens hand‑eye coordination. The sport also pushes you to think on your feet – reading defenses, making split‑second decisions. Those mental drills are just as valuable as the physical workout.
When you step onto the court, you instantly feel the buzz. The squeak of sneakers, the bounce of the ball, the roar of the crowd – all these sounds become a rhythm you can almost hear in a photo. A well‑timed shot of a player mid‑air can freeze that roar, letting viewers feel the intensity without a single sound.
So, why does basketball top the list? It’s a blend of speed, teamwork, and pure fun. You get a full‑body workout, a mental workout, and a chance to bond with teammates. For us behind the camera, it’s a goldmine of moments that scream excitement.
If you’re still on the fence about picking a favourite sport, think about what makes you smile after a game. Is it the fast breaks, the high‑fives, or the feeling of getting a good workout? Whatever it is, basketball checks most of those boxes, and our May 2023 archive shows just how lively it can be.

My favourite sport is basketball, mainly because it is fast-paced and requires both physical and mental agility. I love the teamwork aspect of the game, which fosters a strong sense of camaraderie among players. Additionally, basketball helps improve my overall fitness and coordination. The thrill of scoring a basket or making a great defensive play keeps me motivated and passionate about the sport. Lastly, basketball is a fantastic way to unwind and have fun while staying active and healthy.
