I took yesterday off the court, off of basketball, off of anything that resembled work, and it was NICE! I guess it really showed as well because I had a very nice game comming back to work. We pounded the other team by 30 points and looking up and down our roster, I would say that over half our squad had a very nice game indeed. Too bad we can't play that way every game!
Speaking of play that way, I had this guy come up to me after the game. He was offering to be a sort of personal assistant of some sort. He went on and on about how he really knew hoops and could help me tons on my game if I would only listen to him. I asked him what was in it for him, and he proudly stated that he is a teacher and coaches younger kids and would be honored to help a professional such as my self. So here is this guy offering me help for no pay and really no rewards other than the personal satisfaction? Sure, I'm listening. So we go have something to drink and we talk. This guy is so full of stories! I can't believe he has a story for almost every topic that comes up. At some point he turns all serious and turns to my game tonight. "Did you know that for such a short quick guy you drive into the box way too much? You got heart kid, I'll give you that. But your foolish as well driving into trees when you have such a nice jumper." I challenged him that I take whatever is open and don't drive as much as he claimes. He pulled out the game tape and started counting outloud all the shots I took. Wow! I took almost 2 inside shots for every 1 midrange shot. That is incredible! I never knew it. I guess this guy's cred with me just went way up. I thanked him for his advice and headed home. I look forward to seeing how I can change my ways now that I am aware of it. Come to think of it, maybe having someone in the stands looking at me is going to really help my game!
How about your game? Have you checked out www.cyberdunk.com yet to even get a game? You should.
