WHETHER it is rapping, dancing or even performing tricks with a basketball in hand, freestyling is a definite attention grabber.
At one look, freestyling certainly looks easy as most of these moves are self composed and you need not have to be a good basketball player to excel in it.
However, getting the tricks right and having the patience for it might deter many from being part of this exciting sport said executive director of Ossia World of Golf Saw Swee Leong when met at the recent freestyling clinic at Hoops Arena in Summit USJ.

“After years of organising basketball competitions, we saw there is a potential in freestyling but the youngsters who are interested in it are afraid and shy to come forward to show off their skills.
“Maybe they feel that they only know a handful of tricks and it will embarrass them if they are not as good as the rest,” said Saw.
