In Bhutan, the basketball so special sport of kings
The game of basketball is one form of exercise that has been conducted many people around the world . Even in Indonesia, basketball became one of the games that are taught in gym class . But the same thing does not happen in the Bhutanese society .
In Bhutan , could not play basketball in vain . Basketball game is a special game that is only done by the descendants of the king , as reported by NewSer ( 14/10 ) .
New York Times managed to conduct an interview with the Queen of Bhutan which is now 23 years old , Jetsun Pema Wangchuk . The queen herself playing basketball every day , the same as the previous king of Bhutan who is now 57 years old . Even so , one of the students who often played with the queen always convinced that she can not budge when playing with him .
No clear reason why basketball is only done by the royal descendants . Possibility is to maintain the status of the distance between the royal family and the community. But when playing with his coach , the queen explained that they should not give in and play with their abilities fully .
" He always forbade us succumb . He thought we were afraid of him . Yeah , we really afraid of him , " said one student who became queen friends play basketball every day .
Even so , today Bhutan is trying to make the game of basketball to be better known and also played by ordinary people . A coach from South Korea has been hired to shape Bhutan's national basketball team .
