Yeah, a life changing experience.

A friend of mine told me a story about how a teacher of his, at the University level, got his car robbed. So they called the cops. And the cop, when he came, said "and what do you want me to do about it?!".

In another similar event, the cop said "well, I didn't tell you to let valuable stuff in the car!".

That's how it is... makes me realize how much I bitch all day.

There were some annoying ass kids (like 12 of them) following me one day. I was I think 13 years old at the time. I crossed the street like 5 seconds before the oncoming car was going to. The kids followed me and annoyed the driver and he had to slow down.
I finished crossing and this old man comes up from behind and slaps the shit out of me, upside the head. WTF???

I said "why did you hit me?!"
"You're supposed to watch out for those kids, you're older than them." (I was 13... they were 10?)
"??? I don't even know them!"
"Do I give a shit?"

It's not a big deal really. But if that happened in America, BAM LAWSUIT + NEWSPAPER HEADLINE.

"Random elderly man attacks 13 year old after crossing street."

Hahahahahaha, that makes me remember that teacher things calling "niggers". Are you kidding me? Here the teachers punch you and it's considered "normal".

When I was in the 3rd grade, so about 10 years old, one ~240 lbs math teacher slapped me with a lot of power (he really put in force, it wasn't just a simple slap) because my tennis ball (I was playing "soccer" with it) went over the fence and it was ringing of break end, so I looked at him as if to say "hey, I'm going to jump the fence only to get the ball since it's the break's end so I don't get late" and I jumped the fence and when I got back to the door to get into the school he slapped me with HATE :D

So I had three options:

1) Lose my ball and not get late;
2) Go around the fence, get the ball, get late, get slapped for being late;
3) Go over the fence, get the ball, get late, get slapped for being late.

Guess choosing number 3 didn't help. But hey, the guy was a real hero, at 240 lbs slapping 10 year old kids with hate is pretty heroic in my book, so props for him. Takes a real man to do it.

Hence I turn into a jumpshooter when I play ball, and I think that's a smart thing to do.

+ +9,000

Whenever I'm in Europe I NEVER drive into the lane. Hell no, not outdoors, with 35 year old men pounding me because I'm "American" and much more athletic than those idiots. And we're playing on concrete with some small potholes. Not to mention, nobody realizes they're not playing tight D at all because there's no 3 point line on this court and they sag off anywhere more than 15ft from the basket if you're on the sides of the court (where it's harder for the defender to judge distance since he's not near the paint and he is facing away from the basket anyway). So I'll just make them pay anyway with my jumpshot. I'm a jumpshooter anyway.

LOL are you serious about those European ballers?  I gotta take note, as I'm going to England in the summer.

Of course he is. So, what, it's different in the USA? Here everybody is obsessed with "defense" (read - fouling). If you're fat (and most are) and just lurk 1 meter around the paint and foul everybody, you're a great "baller". Go figure.

Why would you do that and not good mornings? From what I know, you don't even benefit that much until you get into hyperextension from these...

You could do supermans and be better served.

Quick question: if my right knee is injured and I can't perform right leg bounds, but I can do double and left leg single leg bounds, is that OK?

Because frankly, being a single leg jumper, I pretty much need a lot of bounding on my left leg. The problem is - if you do only one leg it might affect the fatigue level and screw up the double leg bounds since one leg is tired and another leg is fresh.

Haha... yeah, I haven't thought about transforming inches and feet and shit. So 130 inches = 10 feet? Sounds unlucky.


good catch

I'm still working on my catch. The high catch is difficult.

I've always wondered why you want a 47 vert, and not a 46 or 48?

Any comments on their effectiveness (Animal Test, Animal Stak)? As test boosters. All marketing or...?

If I get twice as weak as you, I'd get a 2x squat.

Haha you looked so much more ... "different" there. Intellectual vs. caveman.

He was introduced to white girls

And that causes facial hair to grow? I knew there was something fishy about my facial hair. It never grows!

Hammering it down nicely on those baseline lobs.  And the 2 handers are lookin damn easy now.  When you start taking requests I think a 2 hand tomahawk would be a nice addition to the repertoire.

Totally agree, think "Derrick Rose" tomahawk.
