This reminds me of the Rip "my camera batteries ran out" thing.

 

obviously not even comparable. the vid is grainy but it exists, and it's not like chrism doesn't have like 10 other vids of himself dunking in this thread.

Lol! I only have my cell. Too many bills and such for a nice HD cam right now. Could I if I sacrificed toys and such for my kids? Yea, but they are far more important than something for me. Sad part is that that vid was shot in an iPhone, but his pic/vid messages can only he whatever megabytes and HD goes over his limit. Next time I'll tell him to use my phone so its a direct upload.

Lol! Its cool Raptor. I know I don't have a lot of money currently. 1k/month house, car payments, two kids, school tuition for the fiancé, plenty of medical bills because she has ITP, etc etc. We'll be much better off once she finishes school. Until then I'm not really worried. If I get a nice promotion or something I may go get one but I'd rather give my kids everything my parents gave me and more.

Yea. Its dumb. It'd be cheaper but renting is expensive and housing around here is expensive anyways. It has its perks though.  Gated community with great amenities, good area with great schools and its near the fiancés family. So it works for now even if its ridiculous for a 3bed/2.5bath place. Oh well, where I sleep and my family lives is a priority so it is what it is.

Your lucky tho Raptor, land around here is 10k/acre and up, we've been looking lol

Well, we were supposed to have our third game today...instead the other team never showed and we won by forfeit. I'd rather lose playing. Since a few of us were mostly warmed up we went to another court and waited around to play some half court 4 0n 4. Finally got in after 2 games of waiting and I hit 2 threes and a pullup jumper so I was feeling pretty good so when they switched a bigger guy on me on a screen I went for it. Crossed him pretty good and got an easy step on him when I noticed NO ONE rotated to play help side D!!!! The lane was wide open so I'm sure my eyes got huge! I took one hard dribble and went up, I was going to smash a two hander or tear the rim off trying...so I'm going up and I realize I'm really high (well, it FELT really high, my teammates also said I was pretty up there), I pull the ball back over my head annnnnnndddd.....


The fat fuck I went by literally shoves me in mid air. In a fucking pickup game.  Seriously who the fuck does this shit in a fucking meaningless pickup game?!?!?!? I stood around and shot some jumpers for the remainder of the game (short games to 21 by 1s and 2s) and didn't play another game. Screw getting potentially hurt in a pickup game. I went up to the weight room and lifted a little, just did some very light weight calf raises, core stuff and tried a couple front squats. Did 135x3, 185x2 and 225 once. Felt very weird but nice change of pace to the back squat.

Anyway, be careful out there. I hope the guys you hoop with aren't asshats.

Went and shot around this morning for an hour to prepare for tonight's game. Shot ok and got a vid for you, would have shot more vids but didn't want to over due it. anyway without further ado....

BTW, shot on my phone so it's still in HD. and yes, I almost fell, not used to dunking it hard yet lol!

Alright, game recap from last night...was a hell of a game, biggest lead on either side was 7 by us early in the 2nd half. I sat down with 5mins to go to catch a breather (I was guarding a 6'2" D2 point guard, signed at Delta State next year) and us up 4. They tied it up and I came back in with 1:30ish left. We go back and forth and I drill a step back 3 to go up 109-106. Devin (the d2 kid) comes right back and hits a ridiculous 12 foot bank shot. 109-108. We call time, side out play, I get a switch on a screen and have a huge mismatch off the bounce but our post throws it opposite side because they hard trapped him. Either way we stepped out of bounds on the baseline. They call time, we know were the ball is going, agree to foul before the shot (no foul shouts). Plan works, we hit Devin at the ft line on a drive with 1.2 seconds left. ....except they gave him continuation like its the NBA!! Ball goes through with .5 left but no one stopped the clock. Ball game.

We argued with the officials for minutes and they finally told us we couldn't get a shot off in a half second. I screamed BS and offered to have one of the opposing team throw me a pass to prove it and put .5 on tue clock. Granted no one was guarding me but the guy threw it at my knees, I caught it and swished a 25 footer off a invisible screen (just like a game situation)...ball clearly left my hand before the horn, everyone agreed. They wouldnt let us replay it though. Smh. I know we could have gotten a shot at a tip in.

Either way my release on my jumper is under .5 seconds lmao!
