Alright quick update.... runs Wednesday night were ok. Knocked some more rust off and started feeling good basketball wise. Thursdays are deadlifts but i got invited to go run at a semi local D2 school so I skipped the gym to be fresh. Went up there with 2 of the guys and wrecked these guys. Basically got whatever i wanted whenever because the guys trying to check me were so worried about the crossover and snatchback. afterwards their pg came up and told me that was the first time he'd ever felt "glued" to the floor. Just stuck. Felt ok bouncy so tossed a few dunks down with the taller kids then got rim hung on an off the dribble btl. 2-3" away from getting this consistently (or a faster transfer lol).
As we're leaving Im told theres a 5v5 tourney going down Sat an hour away. Couple local college kids and a bunch of just graduated signees amd such. So i rested Friday or tried... worked on the race car then got a call at 1am to go pickup some friends at a bar... got home at 5 and forst game was at 9. eeek. So played 6 40 min games on an hour of sleep lol! Brought a buddy of mine that plays pg for a local D3 school, a good friend that damn near made the D-League last year and we put it on some dudes. went 5-1 overall and lost the championship by 8 points. We were dead lol no subs killed us. I played well, had 9 blocks one game lol and a few nice dunks. Had a weak baseline jam in game 3 and my teammates yelled at me so second half of game 4 I was the trailer on the secondary break and caught a pass at the ft line. 1 dribble and I put some guy trying to take a charge in a bodybag. Probably the best poster dunk ive ever had. Got me stupid hyped. We were up like 22 that game with 3 mins left so the game broke out into a dunk fest betweent their 6'3 wing and my buddy and me. Their dude caugjt a 2 hander off glass. Friend had a little baseline oop. I hut a reverse. Then dude killed a 360 so with 24 seconds left the lane cleared and I murdered a windmill. Basically the highlights
They were having a 17u AAU tourney on the other courts and our dunk show and me putting some kid on one knee with a cross to snatch back had the kids going nuts. Was awesome to see them get some hyped, running around, etc. Slept 12 hours last night (lmao i was deadddd) and my knee is a little.stiff today but overall i feel good. Gym for some back and core work in a little then back to the grind on Monday!
