Basket Ball is my Fav-o-rite sport.
Ok, so you might not know the rap, but it’s stuck in my head.
This weekend, Jack starts his basketball tournament. His team is 10 and 0. Feels alot like the football season. We are top seed, going in. If you had ask me at the beginning of the season if we would make it this far without a lose, I would have laughed in your face. We have a really good player, most about medium for their age, and one who is a tard challenging at best. But we always find a way to come out on top. It’s a very blue collar team. They find a way to win. Most of that comes from the boys. The coach is also very good with the kids, and brings out that part of them. No whining. No tempers. Just sticking it out. And Jack has improved dramatically. At the beginning of the season, he could barley hit the rim. Now, he can hit about 5 to 6 shots in a 30 second shooting drill. Not bad.
We did loose the Christmas Tournament Championship after playing, and winning 5 straight games. But we have a good chance at taking the district. The final will be next Saturday, if we win the next 3 games. Then, there’s a break, before Baseball.
Basketball was my favorite backyard sport. However, I have weak ankles. Once, while playing backstage while working at the esteemed Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, I broke my ankle. Yes, we had a goal just behind the stage, and were between shows. I went up for a shot against Kenny Leon, the Artistic Director, And on of People’s “50 Most Beautiful People” in 2004, and came down wrong. Being Blue Collar myself, I ran the show before going to the doctor. Maybe that’s where Jack gets it. Kenny felt bad for a while, but never gave me a raise…bastard.
So, anyway, Go Triple Threat!!!
