In Bhutan, the basketball so special sport of kings

Di Bhutan, basket jadi olahraga khusus para raja
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 .
