i am a free throw machine!
no, make that.....i am a free throw god!
the old basketball goal was in bad shape. the neighborhood boys and beed's sons been hoopin' it up since we opened the pool. the old backboard developed a crack in it and beed had to replace it monday.
beed hasn't shot any real hoops in a couple years so he started foolin' around shootin' some free throws after puttin' the goal up.
he hit 9 out of 10 one time but couldn't seal the deal on 10 for 10. yesterday afternoon beed wuz bustin' dahbicito's chops about shootin' freebies. we would shoot until we missed and then the other got to shoot.
beed hit 13 in a row at one point. final tally 42-50 free throws hit. 84%. not bad for a 46 year old white boy that ain't picked up a ball but a couple times in the last few years.
on the 50th attempt beed dribbled it 3 times, pulled the ball back and found the seam with his middle finger, bent his knees, cocked the ball back........looked at his son and closed his eyes and let it rip. booyah!!!!! nuttin' but net. all beed's boy could say wuz "you can be such a prick"
guilty as charged. beed don't know why he enjoys bein' "such a prick" at times but he just does. he's not that way all the time as many can attest. beed can be a very nice guy.
but it wuz fun talking trash to his 19 year old son. and it's always fun to shoot hoops even if it's on the backyard court.

Truly a guy moment. I just love watching guys on the basketball court - trash talking is sometimes the best part!
Beed - 84!!!! Horn should have had you working with Elgrace!

'Beed,
Spent about 90 minutes out on my drive-way last night with my 8 year old. He would rather ball than eat. the most fun for me is watching the skills progress: everything from going left, to fakes, to the trash talk. Actually, he's getting real good at that. He runs all over his 10 year old brother!

topper 613, i always loved coaching the kids that LOVED it. they would look you in the eye and act as if what you were telling them had come from the mouth of God.
make him work on that left hand. i would bring 10 balls to practice and we would spend the first 20 minutes working on nothing but dribbling and 90% was with your off hand.
they whined at first but then loved it when they picked up the skill of dribbling with either hand.
