Its just letting you know that particular post is too awesome to down vote!


I haven't seen that tho. :/

We keep winning were 6-0 right now after tonights game. Im having so much fun right now because for once, I dont HAVE to go drop 40+ for my team to win, so I can just PLAY. Its freaking awesome having a well rounded team

Anyways I got a ehhh dunk tonight in the game,  grabbed an offensive board and just went for it off no step. Figured with us up 20 I'd take a crack at it. Rattled in but off a SVJ,  im gna take it! Got called for goal tending too when I took the ball 'off the rim' will it was still above the cylinder. Kinda smiled at that call since I'm 5'10 lol!

On a related note I know I havent lifted in 4 weeks and Im HOPING things settle down now that ive got both jobs semi situated as well as daycare for my daughter.  Probably wont lift heavy or high volume during league play, just maintenance mostly. Looking for a week we play weaker teams as I know I'll be sore. 

I can't static stretch before training, lifting or playing...im not bouncy at all. Good dynamic warmup and just moving around til I get a sweat broke seems to be the best for me. I only static stretch post activity. 

LBSS is right,  the best way to jump quicker/with less dip is to go jump that way. Look at KF, he can jumpsquat a fuck ton im sure but id he curious what his vert it with almost no "dip" compared to hos normal SVJ. Id bet its remarkably lower in comparison since hes never trained for it (that I know of). And now im actually quite curious!  KF...wanna try it?

Won both!!!!! First game the other team was just out matched,  108-55 final score. Not a ton of highlights, our big had a nice dunk on a pick and roll situation, I put some kid on skates and into another zip code with a crossover on a iso (probably one of my better moments , I lost him so bad my brain got jumbled wondering where he went and I about missed the pass to a wide open backdoor lol) and one of our subs went OFF from 3, I counted 9 at one point. So good tune up for the second game

Second game we were supposed to lose...according to everyone but us. Our two bigs are 6'4 and ones good the other is ddecent. They had a 6'8" 250lb, 2 years removed from playing D1 ball in the SEC, guy and a bunch of shooters. Guess I got warmed up because I dropped 37 in 29 minutes. And had 16 rebounds,  a few steals and one block on the 6'8 guy where I smashed his layup off the glass from the weakside. Got our guys super pumped and put the crowd behind us squarely. Only downside was we lost our starting big when play got chippy, he got hit hard and looks to have re broke a bone in his hand. not good at all. Was pretty physical down the stretch but insanely fun because they started talking trash which just makes me zone in and go for the kill. Final was 88-81 and was the most fun ive had in a very long time on the court. Felt like a 'real' game,  chippy,  physical, trash talking and some damn good ball from both teams.

And thats my recap for tonight, legs were pretty dead after game #2 so only tried a few simple dunks, only had two shots at in game dunks, in rhe first game I went after a layup that I thought was coming out and it somehow bounced in (even my teammate thought he missed it lol) and in game two I blew by a guy and was going to attempt to dunk in the big guy, he was on the opposite block, not sure if he was gna go up but I had already decided to say f it and try lol but, I got grabbed from behind,  guy tried to take my arm off :/  oh well. Hopefully next game!

Only gained a few pounds over Thanksgiving!  Lol! Shot a little on Sunday to try and get back in a rhythm, not anything really just an hour of jumpers and working on some moves/footwork.

We won our 2nd game Monday, barely. SMH.  Our second unit seemed to not want to rebound or defend and blew a 16 point lead with 7 mins to go down to 4 with 2:30 left before hitting a couple 3s to put it away. Ended up winning by 11 by my god it was stressful! I was damn close to putting myself and one of our bigs back in but really wanted our guys to grind it out and find a way to win, which they did. Proud of them but if we defend or rebound like that against a decent team we're screwed. :/ I played ok but my jumper just isn't falling like normal. Had 17 points in 21 minutes but was only 2-5 from 3 and missed 2 pullups that rimmed out. Its right there tho so I'll just keep pushing along and it'll come. Had some pretty assists on dump passes when I attacked the rim so that was nice. Our starting bigs played very well, good position and finished well at the rim.

Dunked around with the bigs after the game as usual and I am SO damn close to a windmill off glass when I get hyped up watching  other guys dunk lol! Got hung on the front/top of the rim on one attempt. I think if I took off maybe 3-4" closer I would have got it lol! Oh well, weve got a double header Thursday so I'll try again!

Since I havent been pleased with my jumper I went and put in an hour and a half of shooting drills tonight after work, we'll see if it pays off.

Interesting. I use a method similar to Ray Allens. Stand under the basket,  5 makes, step back, repeat. I go all the way out to the NBA 3 line (24 feet) and sometimes a little further. Makes you quite accurate.
