I am the best player,
You would want in your court.
I have been playing this game,
On different times,
For my whole life.
I may not always make the shot,
I may not have the strongest offense,
But when the ball is their court,
And they have the upper hand,
I will be the best defense,
The MVP of the game,
Trying to defend you,
No matter who are,
Even if I don't make the shot.
