I think this warrants a seperate post but 

i got my first proper in game dunk in a half court set off a post up against 2 defenders. OMG!!!!!

quick background, we played 1.5hrs full court scrimmage, 5v5. That was shithouse. Then after that i got pulled into a 4v4 half court game. Big guy playing man defense on me, i asked him his height and weight (a bit premediatory? lol) and he said 6'4", he didnt get to reply the weight but he must be 100kg, solid build. I post him up and he moves me out of the key with ease. Like c'mon, im a 170kg squatter and this guy is just brushing me aside like yesterdays news. It kinda kills my buzz cause i was thinking i wanna get a dunk.

So anyway about 30 mins in and ive got a few blocks on him, i feel he's softened up. i get a postup on the right block. I give him a left shoulder fake, he bites! i spin, power dribble and go up. He's recovered and trying to block me and meanwhile a smaller defender has come into the middle and put his hand up, but im already commited to the dunk. Bang. i come down, everyone is like wtf! i dunked on two guys off a post up.

I wish i had it on video. im just the kind of nerd who would tape a fucking pickup game on the off chance i get a dunk. but nah, im not even that lame. doesnt matter, i still know it was legit. Now im regretting it, would be cool to get my first proper postup dunk on video. Ah well.

oh and i had a fast break dunk on the full court scrimmage but i rimmed it out. i didnt grip the ball. it was old and no grip but still i should aleast try. hit the rim so hard ive got a purple bruise on my figer. go figure. if i ever go for a fast break dunk again im gonna make sure ive got it palmed otherwise it's going to be a miss.

sick man. congrats!

that's probably going to happen more frequently now, i mean it's obvious from the recent IG clips that you could be bam'n it on people in games.

 Bball shooting/dunking 

• Yikes, finally failed a squat, first time since i joined this gym sometime last year!.
• Played a pickup game of 2v2 with some kids, i blocked the bigger taller kid a few times (they expected me to be slow and awful i spose?)- i was wearing my vest as well. Each time i blocked him one of the smaller kids would say 'no no no' in an indian accent. Casual racism is great. I didnt really care at the time, but in another universe i would taken my vest off and dunked on them, just wasn't that bothered. They complimented my game all the same, so it wasnt meanspirited but still bad form.
• Icing my knee just in case it gets swollen again. Have to be proactive about this stuff. Hopefully i have one more solid training  session (thinking sunday?) ahead.
• then i'm going to focus on R&R Mon-Thurs to peak up for the tournament which runs Fri-Sun. Really hope they have breakaway rims at the comp cos ive been spoilt AF lately with the nice breakaway rims we've got these days here in Perth, such a pleasure to dunk on.  I expect melbourne to have them too hopefully.
