PCS: NBA - How Professional Basketball at the Highest Level Works

# data[].attributes.body
The NBA (National Basketball Association) is the highest level of professional basketball in the world. Founded in 1946, it is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the sport, featuring the best players, teams, and competition globally.

Unlike individual sports, the NBA is a team-based league. Each team consists of a maximum of 15 players, with 5 players on the court at any one time. Teams are supported by coaches, trainers, analysts, and medical staff who all contribute to success across the season.

The NBA operates primarily in North America, with 30 teams in total — 29 based in the United States and 1 in Canada. These teams are split into two conferences: the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, each containing 15 teams.

The regular season runs from October to April, where teams play 82 games to determine their standings. Based on their performance, the top teams advance to the NBA Playoffs, a high-intensity knockout tournament held from April to June.

The NBA Playoffs are held at the end of the regular season and feature the top teams from each conference. Teams are ranked based on their regular-season performance, with the highest-ranked teams earning better seeding and home-court advantage.

Before the main playoffs begin, the Play-In Tournament determines the final playoff spots, adding extra pressure and competition. Once the playoffs start, teams compete in best-of-seven series, meaning the first team to win four games advances to the next round.

The playoffs progress through the First Round, Conference Semifinals, and Conference Finals, with the champions of the Eastern and Western Conferences meeting in the NBA Finals. The team that wins the Finals is crowned the NBA Champion, marking the culmination of the entire season.

🌻Assalamualaikum, hello, and good day to everyone reading this post! I'm Ahmad Aiden from class 3K3, I'm 14 years old and I was born on the 21st of June, 2011. My hobbies include (but are not limited to) reading comics, watching shows, sleeping and playing games! I'll stop beating around the bush and go straight to the point. As you probably know, this post is about my top 3 most important core values. Of course, the fact that these are the top 3 doesn't diminish the other values in any way, depending on my mood, i may even switch some of them out. However, these are the results that I got so these are the results I'm going to talk about. Let's get right into it

1. Forgiveness 🌻

2. Loyalty 🌻

3. Fairness 🌻

So, why are these values so important to me? 🌻

Hmmmm, let's see..

Let's start withhhhhhhhh....

🙏Forgiveness!!

This is a big one. Honestly, I wouldn't personally put this in my top 3, but it managed to sneak in, for good reason at that. Forgiveness is such a tricky thing; you could just say "I'm sorry," and then the other person could say "I forgive you," and it's done there, but some people might not find it that easy to forgive someone. I'm a sore loser in this category, which is why I find it ironic that forgiveness is my number one value. Usually, when I do something wrong, I acknowledge it immediately. However, I have trouble just uttering the words: "I'm sorry," and I don't really know why. I want to be forgiven, and I want them to know that I want to be forgiven, so why can I not just say these simple words? Friendships are built on trust, and you can't have trust without arguments from time to time. They build trust, and you always bounce back stronger. As they say, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger," and forgiveness plays a huge part in this regard. As I said, yes, arguments can lead to stronger relationships, but cracks will eventually begin to form without forgiveness. Forgiveness is one of the all-stars when it comes to relationships, along with my next core value:

🔐Loyalty Woahhh that was a smooth segue

Eeeeek, I don't really know what I should talk about for this one. This is another one that really isn't talked about enough and I also wouldn't put this in my top 3, this is weird... As i said, loyalty is a key part in healthy relationships, to put your trust in someone, to stay with that someone for an extended amount of time, to remain with that person even through thick and thin, i think this is what defines loyalty. Honestly, if you asked me why this value was in my top 3, I wouldn't know how to answer that. Maybe it's the fact that I am still distraught about how my friends is unphased that our 300 day TikTok streak ended, or maybe it's the fact that over the years, I've seen some of my closest and most precious friends slowly drift away from me due to reasons I don't know about. I get so jealous when I see people I've been practically best friends with for years suddenly jump to another friend group for some small reason. I just don't think it's fair that my friends can go to other people just because they share the same interests as them, WHICH BRINGS US TO THE NEXT (and final) VALUE:

😇Fairness another smooth segue, you're the best

I believe in equal rights, equal fights. This is the one that makes the most sense in my top 3 out of all of them. I say that, but I don't really know how to explain this one. I can't count the amount of times I've seen others being discriminated against due to something beyond their control. Be it looks, illnesses, intellect, etc. I personally think that these types of agendas should not be normalized in our society and that everyone should be treated equally. Sigh, now I feel like I'm just paraphrasing past sentences to extend the length of my writing. I'll cut to the chase, I think everyone should be viewed at an equal level no matter who they are. In the end, we all bleed red and- I'm not gonna continue that. The fact that such discrimination is practiced in places that should ensure safety like court and school is something I can't wrap my head around. I've run out of random things to say regarding this topic. So, with that:

I'll move on to the next section;

How can I use these values in my daily life? 🌻

⏪ITS REWIND TIMEEEE!!

🙇‍♀️Forgiveness Why do I feel like I've been here before...

Forgiveness has the most simple adaptation into daily life. I consider myself as a very tolerant person, so I already practice of "Forgive and forget." Although, one thing I need to do is LEARN HOW TO SAY SORRY FFS!!! I'll get to the root of this problem and I'm gonna cut it down, I swear.

🔒Loyalty I'm getting Deja Vu...

Umm, this is also quite a simple one. I always try to stay loyal to my friends (well at least my best friends / day 1s😤.) I also believe in monogamy, to stay loyal to one lovely woman my entire life, until we grow old together is a thing that every man dreams of 🙂

🤴Fairness Ok what is happening, this is weirrd

Okay, why are all of these so straightforward. Like, fairness?? Obviously I'll treat everyone equally and try not to judge a book by it's cover and given chances to everyone, I guess that's all I have to say.

Alright,

I feel like this core value test exposed parts of me that I usually don't think about. Like, I wouldn't put the majority of these in my top 3 but the fact that I've chosen them over others proves that these values are held near and dear to my heart. The fact that I had trouble writing this further proves my point, because I usually do all of these things because they are common sense and I don't think about them, these traits are what make me, me! Especially the part where I had to write about how to adapt these into my daily life. They are already so deeply integrated into my life that I have trouble thinking about specific things that I do! I really like this assignment because I like writing :> and uhh also like I feel like this will help KPPN students to realize what they're lacking, along with their strengths with the ranking of values. From what I've personally seen, the values that have less to do with relationships with other people and instead have to do more with society and the world (namely: cultural appreciation and the nature one) are chosen less. I think this proves how much we value the relationships in our life and how much they affect us.

Uhh I know this reflection wasn't needed but I really felt like doing this because I have a bit of extra time before this page of the calendar gets ripped off. I really regret doing this assignment at the last second, maybe I could beat out Afiq in terms of length if I didn't🥲. I'm a pretty competitive person, you know? Maybe I could also have more time to think about my points and even more examples, but I'm gonna stop here today. OMG I JUST SUBMITTED THIS WITHOUT INTERNET AND IT DISAPPEARED. I WAS SO SCARED I LOST MY PROGRESS AHHHhhh... Ehem.. I guess that's all I have for tonight

Goodnight and thank you for reading!! 🌻

Nostalgia is truly the most beautiful drug in the world. It's addictive. It's emotional. It's bittersweet. But most of all, it's painful. Looking back and knowing you're never going to experience that thing or that person or that feeling again really hurts. All pain that people feel, whether it's out of a relationship, out of losing somebody, it all comes from nostalgia. The funniest part about nostalgia is that nobody truly believes they'll experience that again. Nobody really thinks they'll be able to play Roblox with their primary school friend group again. Nobody truly believes that they'll see their grandfather again after he passes away. But something in the back of their head tells them and mourns for the time. The thing about nostalgia that no one tells you is that it can tear you apart. You continually compare what is to what once was. The thing about things that once were is that they never will be again. When nothing lives up to the past, you stop letting the present matter. You stop growing because you continue to grieve over a part of you that's no longer part of reality. Sometimes the hardest part about grieving is realizing that the past wasn't as perfect as you think it was. The perfection that your mind is making up is security. It's okay to miss it. but it's not okay to lose yourself inside of it. A man never swims in the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man.

The long awaited album from JID, one of the most consistent hip-hop artists of all time. This album had such high expectations because JID had just released MY personal album of the decade, The Forever Story. And as expected, it lived up to all the expectations. I have listened to this album 4-5 times for the week it has been released and I am OBSESSED. The features on this album are all chosen well and fit the album's atmosphere, the 2nd track (Glory)'s choir was such a great addition and made it my personal favorite on the album, with high energy rapping performances and electric flows from JID. And don't even get me started on the beat switches on this track UGHHHH. The whole album explores themes of pain, struggle, and spirituality, hence the title. While also delving into the complexities of survival and societal issues like capitalism. As i said earlier, the features such as Westside Gun on YouUgly, Clipse on Community, Vince Staples on VCRs, etc. fit so well into the atmosphere of the album and really add to the themes of black culture and others. This review might be a bit all over the place and I've done nothing but praise the album. However, it doesn't quite rank higher than The Forever Story for me. There are some weaker tracks on GDLU like Gz and What We On (which are still great tracks) which bring down the total album rating down a bit. For my final verdict, since The Forever Story is a 10/10, GDLU will be getting a high 9/10.

This outing was really special to me as it is also the date of my fathers birthday. I decided not to bring any friends this time due to it being a private event. at 9:20 a.m, my mother picked me up and brought me home. We then planned how we would celebrate my dad's birthday. We decided on going to a fancy restaurant called Yakiniku Kuro. Once we arrived there, there was a short queue and we went inside. We cooked our beef and it was so delicious!! I ordered a milo shaved ice for the desert and it was so good. After that, we brought out a cake box from a plastic bag and brought the cake out. We celebrated quietly to ensure staff didn't sing the infamous birthday song and cut the cake. The cake was pretty good too! We then returned back home. I did my prayers, and then returned back to the hostel

Overall, this wasn't a very "fun" outing but it was extremely special to me. I love you dad, and I always will <3

In SD class, I have learned how to cope with my stress and discovered how stressed I actually am, before this I thought I wasn't too stressed at all but I need to be a bit more stressed for the better. If I didn't it would probably be bad for me due to not realizing the importance of my problems. If I didn't realize this sooner, this padlet would probably be really incomplete and extremely empty

This is a weird topic for me because I can't really tell a good movie from a bad movie but these are some movies that I enjoyed

Interstellar (ofc)

Uncharted

Spiderverse 1 and 2

Puss in Boots 2

Bad Guys

Avengers (all of them)

Colorful Stage: A Miku Who Can't Sing

I have a confession to make, i havent actually watched most of these movies, i just chose some random movies that were accepted as good, I did watch spiderverse and avengers tho (pretty good). And A miku who cant sing is the catalyst of one of my biggest interests of all time

I don't have a specific country to pick but I doo have a specific continent!!! Europe, EASILY the most beautiful continent on earth, sue me! I have been to a few countries in europe like germany, poland and czechia, but I didn't really have the time to appreciate my stay there. If i grew up and had a stable job that can be done on the go, I would DEFINITELY travel Europe and maybe expand to the world. I feel like travelling the world with a significant other and a child is one of the best ways to spend your life. Talking to lots of people, learning the languages, tasting the food, it all sounds too good to be true!

My dream university, if I absolutely haaaaaad to pick one it would be Harvard. This is one of the hardest universities to get into in the world and is the most well known and prestigious. This might be a basic answer but Harvard is definitely my top pick. Though, it is interchangeable with MIT, which focuses more on technology, which I prefer more than general studies. I'm sure my opinions will change in the future but these are my current favorites

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

cool poem by william shakespeare

How ironic that i decided to pick this out of every poem and it got chosen for the English exam

So, this was a really fun outing and I will try to summarise it for you. Firstly, in the morning we ate our breakfast and then returned to asrama to pray. After that, we had to clean the hostel and we got ready to go out for outing.

My mother arrived at ~9:15 in order to pick us up for our outing. We then started moving to my house, we arrived at ~10 o'clock and just stayed there for the whole day, we did a bunch of stuff like playing uno and beyblade and it is the funniest stuff ever. At 5 p.m, my mother messaged me and asked us to order food, which was from a restaurant called N9 Container Cafe, there was so much stuff on the menu that it was really hard to choose and we ended up buying TOO much food. Fast forward to 7:21, finally time to eat! I WOULD tell you to refer to the image above to take a look at our meal, but it isn't even the full order😭😭😭, we then attempted to eat all of it and barely managed to finish it, I was way too full but we still had stuff to do. After that, we went to a local gas station for our maghrib prayer and began to travel to Melewar. On the way home, my roommate; Aqil Zaquan asked me to stop by JomCha to buy a drink for him, so I went and did that. Once we finished that, we went straight back to our hostel and rested. Overall, it was a pretty fun outing since we got to go out until 9 p.m!

first day of school picture with my dad (i don't have any solo pictures)

# data[].attributes.body
This is a very fun topic to talk about because I had quite a different first day of school than most other students. For starters, my first day of school was actually quite a bit later than the others, which was on the 12th of April for reasons that I will not go into detail about. Once we drove through the gates I felt a mixture of emotions, was it fear? sadness? excitement? Even I don't know the answer. We drove to the hostel in order to meet Madam Hawa and dropped off my stuff into my room. My goodbyes to my parents were very short as I had to get to class, but it was an experience I will never forget. When my parents left, I headed to the school block and met my homeroom teacher: Ustaz Khair. He led me to class and I introduced myself to all my classmates. After that, it's all a blur and I don't really remember much but I do recall reuniting with my best friends from PPCS. Overall, it was a positive experience for me and I'll never forget my emotions on that fateful day.

I know this is kind of basic but i love my family so much, there are really no words to describe how much I care for these people and much I would miss them if they were gone. My parents have raised me ever since I was born (obviously) and I have been in my sisters life ever since SHE was born. We have all fought and had our differences at times but at the end of the day we are a family and we all love each other very much

Man, this book is mysterious. When I first found this book, I was so confused because the cover wrote "THE KEY IS THE BOOK AND THE BOOK IS THE KEY" and immediately intrigued and perplexed.

Dream on by Aerosmith

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face getting clearer
The past is gone, it went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Well, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books written pages
Lived and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All these things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away (yeah-yeah)

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, oh-oh-oh-

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away, yeah

I found this song a few years ago as a meme and I have loved it ever since, I can't put my finger on why I exactly like it so much but it is probably because of the drop. I usually don't like rock songs but this one just hits different. The reason I picked this song specifically for the lyrics is because the language of other songs I like are a bittttttttttttt.. Explicit (swearing, "innuendos" and all that)

Journey:

Yoo, this is about my 2nd raya in Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu but before we get to that, i have to tell you a little bit of backstory first - On the night before the trip, we went over to my aunt's house in order to receive some custom family t-shirts (which are SO COOL😎) which you can see in the related picture ^^. The next day (day of the trip), I woke up early but not very bright at 4 a.m. I got dressed in a black and white, very hawaiian-esque shirt and we went on our merry way to Kuala Besut (which is where the boat dock was). The journey took around ~6-7 hours and we stopped by an R&R to fill our obligations as muslims (subuh) 🫡. After that, we went back on the road and stopped at around ~8 a.m at another R&R in order to get breakfast, which was fried rice with chicken and a iced chocolate drink, we also bought snacks there of courseee. Next, at around ~12:50 we stopped by MCTS (Mr Celup Tepung Station) on Penarik Beach in order to eat an absolutely delectable seafood based lunch. After we ate that lunch, we went over to the dock where our boat to Perhentian is and hopped on. On the boat, we waited for the engine to be started until we heard a loud rumbling noise - Suddenly, we started moving and this was a really and I mean REALLY rough ride, though it was extremely fun and exciting, we finally arrived on Pulau Perhentian in about an hour.

Pulau Perhentian

Once we arrived, we walked on the really sketchy bridge with our luggage and gave it to our luggage carriers. We walked to our resort and checked in to our room. We lied down on our beds since we were so tired but it was so hot in the room for some reason even though we turned up the air conditioning all the wayyy 😭😭😭 Anyways, after that whole fiasco we decided to get changed into our swimsuits and go swimming in the private pool that is connected to our rooms, in the end it was kind of boring since it was quite a small pool but we did a few dives and even had a water gun shootout 🔫! I decided to leave the pool early because I was getting bored and decided to change into my pajamas at SIX P.M which is WAY too early. Luckily, our family didn't have any activities that involved getting dirty that night but man was I worried. At ~7 p.m we decided to go and eat dinner at the hotel buffet and even watched the beautiful sunset (I think i'll attach the image to this post). Later that night, I did my homework inside the hotel room and then fell asleep.

Here is a link to a google drive that contains a video detailing the whole Perhentian experience

Oh, boy. Where do I even begin? It was one of the best weeks of my life, Raya week! On Wednesday, the 10th of April, I woke up in the morning immediately energised and excited for the day ahead. I ate breakfast after Subuh for the first time in a month and went out to go to the Masjid for sembahyang Raya. Once I returned from sembahyang raya I realised that many of my cousins had came over to my home since it was the main family house. After that, we received duit raya and had a nice picture taking session with parents and family. We all ate so much food that day and OMG can I tell you it was soo nice being able to eat whenever haha. After we all had a nice family lunch, a ton of guests came to visit our house, and when i say tons i mean TONS. I think it was around 200+ visitors and I had a really tight schedule. After they were all done visiting(~5 p.m), I was really tired so I went to go eat by myself and I felt better than ever. It was a really tiring day but I managed to pull through and it was one of the best days of my life, I can't wait for next year!

I've got quite a few hobbies, though I don't really indulge in them too much because life as a PERMATA@Pintar student is quite busy.

My most prominent hobby that I revel in the most is gaming, I play games such as Roblox, Minecraft, Geometry Dash and more. Though I do play games a lot, I believe it is a bad habit and I should reduce my gaming time.

My second hobby that I sadly can't entertain in school is swimming. During elementary school I used to swim a lot, I went to swimming class and I practiced whenever I could. I wasn't THAT good at swimming though I wished to improve. Once we move to the Bangi campus I will go to the swimming pool whenever I can.

UPDATE: They have launched a swimming class programme in Melewar and I have joined it!!

Another hobby I like is drawing. Sadly, I'm not very good at drawing though I love to do it. From time to time I watch art videos and tutorials on YouTube to learn more about the subject.

My sport of choice is badminton. If I had to pick a sport, I would pick badminton. "Why?" you may ask, that is a very good question! I like badminton because I'm not very agile and I have low stamina, which makes me fail in other sports such as basketball and football. Badminton on the other hand doesn't involve too much movement but doesn't have absolutely zero movement to the point where it doesn't feel like a sport.

Other hobbies include: Sleeping, watching YouTube, playing pool, listening to music and singing.

Thats all for my hobbies!
