A member of the BBS who shall remain nameless and I shot some hoops yesterday and let me say it was pretty bad. We had a good time which is the most important part, but let's just say a game of H-O-R-S-E might have taken several weeks to complete and the rim, if it had paint on it when we got there, was devoid of it by the time we left. It has been quite a few years since I've really gotten out and shot a ball and now I know what happens to you when you stop for that long. Ugh! Now, I think it will be my ritual to play a couple of times a week and try to retain my shot that made me so feared among fat old white guys with no vertical and a serious limp. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
Jeff, That is really sad. it has been about 4-5 years since I have really played, but every now and then I get out there and play a pick-up game, and I still can do everything well, like I used to. Must just be a genetic thing ------------------ Talking to a dead hare about art
Jeff, don't feel bad. You're only human. Fortunately, I haven't had that problem. In fact, due to extensive practice, I've gotten better at shooting hoops! Actually, being somewhat vertically challenged I've always been horrible at basketball. My recent practice comes from taking little relatives to Chuck-E-Cheese. But hey, give me an eight inch ball and a basketball goal in a shoe, and I'm Michael Jordan! ------------------ Stay Cool...
I haven't shot a ball in a few years and I dread what it will be like when I try it next. I dribbled a basketball a few months ago and noticed a marked deterioration in skills. However, now that I'm in Houston I want to start playing again. Unfortunately, most of the guys I used to play with are now always at the office or are in jail. ------------------ Rockets Draft Obligations Summary http://www.gaffordstudios.cjb.net/
My youth was lost so long ago I must be 80 years old! Oops sorry. Just looked at my driver's license and it says I'm 39. Seriously, it has been so long since I shot hoops that I think if I got out on the court, I would be good for about 10 minutes. After that, both of my arms would fall off, and I would have a hell of a time playing guitar or playing 18 holes of golf. Or drinking a beer, eating a meal, using the TV remote, scratching myself.... ------------------ I am the b*stard son of LHutz. Huh? Right!
Jeff, you didn't lose to Jenna did you ? ------------------ "Only Hakeem Olajuwon is a better athlete." Dick Versace, when referring to Antonio McDyess before the draft.
Jeff, do what I started doing a few years back...coach! That's right, when you reach that age when you are an embarrassment to yourself trying to recover lost youth, start hanging out with young people. Worked for me. Behad PS. Be sure to stay within your limits, even while coaching. The end of my first year of coaching, I tore my calf muscle thinking I could keep up with the kids. ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet
I'm 29 and I play 2-3 times a week during lunch at my office (outdoors, on the asphalt, all through summer!) Its getting harder and harder, but god forbid the day I can't do it anymore. ------------------ Current Rocket's Salary & Contract Info
LHutz could never play "HORSE". He'll get the "H" and the "O", and then go into a rampage because he just mentioned his ex-wife (that ho). ------------------ I got nothin'.
So rimmy and Jeff shot hoops. hmmmm... I sure hope no one was around to witness that debacle ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
please Jeff don't get the media day photos mixed up with your shoot around photos. Ahhh Jeff and Rimmy photos on the front page ------------------ Discombobulation Imminent
LHutz?? ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and pimp-slap the mother****** upside the head!
We were fine until I dunked right over rimmy and Kevin Garnett was there to push me screamin', "Awwwwwww yeeeeaaaahhh!!!" Ooops, sorry. That was Vince Carter. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
Jeff. Dunk. 2 words that should never be seen together. (unless the hoop is 6 feet high ) ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
hahaha rimmy. I will crush you. Jeff too, if he has the cojones to play. hahahahaha. i rule. ------------------ I am so exasperated that I could expectorate.
Crisco, I was waiting for you to chime in, but... Don't think so. I have never been much of a cold shooter, anyway. Gotta get in a game - get the blood flowing. Besides, now I will play every week and get back my skillz - making beating you an easy task. Don't talk about Mrs. Jeff, either - she is very tall and could school all of ya. Just cuz she did a behind-the-back layup on me does not mean that I should be ashamed. ------------------ Talking to a dead hare about art
