I played basketball while I was in the psych Hospital nearly every day. When I got out of the place I was good actually. I still couodnt hit a jump shot. Well the rim was kind of tilted a bit. Making it hard to get a shooters touch. Although I was really good at rebounding dribbling and layups while being contested.
I was always the shortest player. I was also the oldest guy playing often. I’m 30 and I was playing with 20 year olds most of the time.
Some of them were a lot bigger than me but not more athletic than me, even though they were athletic.
I could drive and score most of the time I really wanted to by the time I left that place.
Like I said I was really bad at first. But practice makes perfect. I had so much energy more energy than anyone else. I was really proud of my energy level. Even though I don’t exercise much I just walk, I had so much energy playing basketball.
The last day there I hit this reverse behind my head layup and banked it in it was amazing. It was game point but they said “ONE MORE”. I was pissed but next play i calmly and collected hit a jump shot. They were playing bulls hit at times. Like changing the rules in a way ,it disfavored me. But I still persevered towards the end. Nobody could stop me the last day.
I’d like to play basketball some more.
When I first got there I got really disassociated every time I played basketball but by the end on different med dosages I didn’t get disassociated anymore
Oh and how bout my Brooklyn nets
