So I was in gym playing basketball (basketball is my favorite sport and I’m very passionate) and I had a ball hogger on my team. Needless to say, he did anger me because of it. I was trying hard to try not to be angry. I didn’t do anything except say “I got the ball once” but didn’t mention anyone. I had one passing thought about shooting over him & crossing him over. Is this a sin?
 
Sports are usually pretty competitive and often emotions run high. As you didn’t act upon your rankled emotions I guess I would rank it as venial. If in doubt go to confession.
 
Scripture says “Be angry and sin not”. Anger is not a sin. Anger, when unbridled, lowers one’s inhibitions and can lead to sin.
 
Anger isn’t a sin. Acting improperly because of it is. So, based on what you’ve written here, there was no sin.
