Basket(old)man

Went down in the morning to shoot some hoops. Was thinking (and hoping) that the court was empty. Instead, it's CROWDED! All the O'Levels kids how juz got their results the previous day and the primary school kids who juz finished their supplementary class. The only comforting sight was that an uncle (older than me! =P) was playing there. At least I'm NOT THAT OLD. Haha. Juz shooting around, still trying to get that feel and momentum of the jumper.

Practice don't make perfect. Practice makes habits.

It's kinda funny coz the primary school kids reminded me of myself years ago when I started playing the game. Shooting with 2 hands and clumsy movements but always full of zest and energy going after the ball. Haha. One actually asked me how to shoot and do a lay-up properly. Well, as a big brother I naturally explained the basics to him and ended with a demostration ALPHA. Haha. Feels good to see that he's shooting in more hoops than before. Then he starts asking he how to do all kinda funny things like stunts or 3 pt-er which of course I said, get the foundations right first. Yea. If ya start doing all the funny stuffs and along the years it'll become a habit that's hard to change.

Went out with the RAVENS yesterday for dinner coz Mike's flying off tomorrow. Well, sometimes do feel a bit odd (one out) when it's all about soccer and football and streetball that they talk when I'm like "...." and more ".........." Haha. Kinda cool to see them still playing competitive soccer together after all these years. Having a common target, training together, getting strong together, winning and losing together.

Maybe if the one who inspired me @ Primary 4 ain't Michael Jordan but Beckham or Owen or some other football player. Perhaps today I'll be part of the Ravens eh? Haha but too late, now I'm Basketman. If I never played bball I wouldn't have been who I'm now. Well...train harder!
