Vince made me famous when he retweeted me.

Or I did? I don't know.

I know one guy that lived in Toronto during Vince's years there, and he had season tickets there. I wanted to kill him

Yeah, lel. I watched I think over ... let me think... ~800 of his games. Incredible when you think about it. Started watching Vince play back in 2005, on a very bad internet connection, on low quality live streams and so on.

some pros dunking @ seemingly high frequency .. on a "tall rim" according to the description (wtf?). lool

For some reason, this brought me some "hunger" to dunk, lol. Especially off two feet.

Problem is, I can barely walk and tie my shoes.

but i shouted "fuck crossfit!" and cackled with glee and ran around whooping and hollering and gloating.

I read this while at work and I almost exploded into laughter

Any crossfit dream is a nightmare, apparently.

For me, it's always been an extreme thing with passes. I'm either not impressed at all, or extremely impressed by a pass.

I find it really weird to say "wow, what a pass" when a big guy throws a normal pass or sees someone open, at the level of the NBA. Shouldn't that be the norm? What's so special about it? I remember when Iguodala threw a behind the back pass to someone, from pretty close in, nothing extraordinary, and a ton of my friends were like "wwooooow what an amazing pass!!!!!111111111" I'm like calm down, it was just a behind the back pass.

You know I'm a big VC fan, but seriously, this pass by Vince here is the most difficult and amazing pass I have ever seen in my life. The amount of difficulty to throw that exactly to Odom is unbelievable.

Now THAT is a great pass.

Speaking of Vince and passing:

I would understand lack of coordination for dribbling, maybe shooting. But passing? There's nobody that's stopping you from having great court vision, especially with the added height. There's nothing stopping you from being aware of the teammates' positions on the floor. There's no limitation in throwing a pass to the right guy.

Passing is more of an awareness thing than anything else. Height should have no implication in that.

Weird goal... the ball bounced on the ground a few times, that really messed up the goalkeeper, he was so late jumping for the ball.

I could never understand why tall people are expected to be "bad passers". What does height have to do with an inability to pass? I just don't get it. If anything, it should be an advantage. The only thing that is negative is that big men are usually in finishing positions, so they aren't in a position to pass all that often. That's all. I can't think of anything else.
