sejarah streetball

permainan ini merupakan bagian dari bola basket yang mendunia walaupun memiliki sedikit perbedaaan dengan basket konvensional.streetball sendiri lahir di venice beach sebuah pantai indah di amerika tapi memiliki tingkat kriminalitas yang cukup tinggi, ramai dengan perkelahian antar genk, dan bahkan tempat itu menjadi lahan yang sangat subur bagi perkembangan drugs. tapi dengan adanya streetball tingkat kriminalaitas di tempat itu mulai menurun. streetball memiliki aturan yang bebas dan sedikit berbeda dengan basket konventional. dan streetball awalnya di lakukan di jalan2 karena mahalnya sewa untuk lapangan basket di amerika. dengan peraturan yang bebas itu yang awalnya di mainkan di jalanan itu lebih abanyak diminati dan di mainkan karena lebih asik daripada basket biasa yg lebih banyak peraturan. trik2 yang di lakukan para streetballer memang sangat terlihat sangat seru dan enak untuk di lihat, bahkan terkadang sedikit mirip tarian hip hop. namun trik2 tersebut sering membuat ketegangan namun sedikit sekali yg berakhir dengan keributan. streetballer bebas mengekspresikan dirinya untuk menciptakan trik2 yang dapat memukau para penonton. selain cara bermain para streetballer yang memukau, lapangan tempat dia adakan permainan ini juga sangat menarik untuk di perhatikan, dengan pagar kawat yang tinggi dengan graffiti2 yg tergambar di dinding sekelilingnya. streetball juga memiliki keunikan tersendiri dengan basket biasa dengan adanya MC. MC disini bertugas memberikan komentar kepada streetballers yang sedang bermain dan sebisa mungkin menjaga jarak dengan para streetballers agar tidak menjadi pengganggu. bahkan MC terkadang memberikan joke2 yg lucu di tengah permainan. dan di indonesia sendiri streetball mulai di kenal dan mulai banyak peminatnya, apalagi setelah di selenggarakannya kompetisi streetball di indonesia. dan semakin lama streetball semakin menunjukkan geliatnya. trik2 yang di tunjukkan para streetballers pun cukup bervariasi dan berkembang tahun demi tahun.tapi sayangnya trik2 yang di gunakan kebanyakan masih mengikuti para streetballers di amerika.
