connotation on basketball..?

i need a connotation involving a basketball. i can’t think of anything, so help me out!!

i need to create a poem with at least one connotation. i have this so far…

A dream is a basketball soaring through the air.

A dream is a basketball bouncing up and down.

A dream is a piercing wind that blows harder and harder.

A dream is a refreshing warmth that made it to the hoop.

i am supposed to include 2 examples of imagery, 2 examples of figurative language, and one connotation. any tips on my current poem are appreciated and thanks in advance for the connotation!

Take a look at this page. http://clear.houstonisd.org/cms/lessonresources/947.pdf

On page 2 it lists a number of words whose most common definition (denotation) is one thing but basketball definition (connotation) is something else.

A couple that could relate to a basketball specifically (as opposed to the game of basketball) are dribble and shoot.

Hope that helps!
