Nice I used to do cleans minus the jerk part so I could prob handle it. What I really need is to improve my footwork. I used to have post moves and now it’s just me pivoting and pump faking while my defender kind of slowly moves along with me

taking very long steps is something thats worked for me, whether in a euro configuration or just straight line drive, seems to throw defenders off

I’m just mastering the old man fade away
― Heez, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 21:13 (five years ago) link
old men dont fade away, old men up and under
― big city slam (Spottie), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 21:19 (five years ago) link
fake the fadeaway while posted up and then up n under is nearly impossible for avg pickup game defender to stop. you can cover so much ground even w/o having your dribble.

nothing better than hitting randoms at the gym with an up and under over and over.

Guy who played semi-pro ball (in the ABA. which I was initially super impressed by...but turns out it has no affiliation with the old ABA. uses the same red-white-blue ball though. It's a step below the G League) started coming to my open gym nights. We basically have to give him the 3 worst players in 4 on 4 games to have it be even. Even then, other team will be up by a bunch and he'll just go ok lemme swish 5 step back 3's from pro range with a hand in my face to get this W really quick.

thank god he's not super tall (6'2") or I'd have no hope of defending him
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 18 October 2019 20:28 (four years ago) link
There was an argument over whose ball it was. He said he'll shoot for it. I say uh yeah if you shoot from 3 with your left hand. He smiles at me and swishes it. "haha fuck you man" I say.

He's Cam. So 2.5 yrs ago was getting paid to play ball. I couldn't even make my middle school team lol (though I would've made his middle school team. less competition out here).

This new guy showed up to invite-only run at this Mormon church. After 5 mins of full court action, he was totally gassed and sat out for a few minutes, then finished the game. Could tell he was still completely exhausted and trying to catch his breath. I stepped out to go blow my nose in bathroom, come back and dude is passed out on floor convulsing. Yeesh. Apparently he stood up and blacked out, crashed to the floor and smacked his head hard. Quite a bit of blood on the court. He was fairly lucid by time paramedics arrived, and was able to walk out on his own and get driven to the hospital to stitch up the gash in back of his head. Crazy.

Some non-hooping Mormons came over to see what was going on, and offered to give him a blessing. He accepted. One of them had a lil vial of holy water that they splashed on him I think? Very bizarre thing to witness for someone like me who was raised without religion.

Damn hope that guy got checked out a bit beyond the stitches, convulsing after a blow to the back of the head is a bad sign.

yeah I hope hospital staff were thorough, but he was answering all the paramedic's questions (eg what day of the week is it, what's your DOB, etc) correctly. I guess symptoms from a head injury can not show up days later tho? was just good to see him walking, giving everyone daps on the way out.

So that guy who fainted and cut open his head last week died. Crazy. Apparently was headed to Phoenix for more testing and died en route. They think this head injury was the last straw following several of them when he was younger and played football. Such a sad story. If he didn't try standing up while lightheaded, would prob still be alive.

Died 2 days ago so it was several days after his injury.

It had to have. I'm terrible at finishing except for my righty scoops and reverses from left side.

mind you I do usually use my left from the left side, but sometimes you gotta go righty to avoid defender blk attempt from behind

I wear one when I need a haircut. I sweat a lot so it's basically there as a sweatband.
