Not a sport I excelled at. Was always the last one picked. It’s on the list of sports I passionately hate.

yeah, I got the Most Improved trophy, that felt like a slam, but kinda good.
won the free throw contest when I was 11, made 8 outta 15, just luck.

You should see my brother and stepdad shooting at the driveway hoop.

until Ronnie took my car out and knocked it down, nearly drunk.

Brownie was a good car, until so many things happened.
didn’t even have a 100K on her when I traded her in.
Whitey now. No hoop.

i’ve got a bench under the tree, front yard, used to sit there while the family was shooting.
no I’m no good. now the bench is just there for sticks. cross iron bench. got it at K’s Merchandise, Davenport, now no longer.

I miss playing basketball with my friends at the park, now they’re all busy with work and with their family as they got married. My currents friends no one is married but they don’t like playing sports.

I have played basketball, was an MVP in a tournament.
The next tournament when I played had this condition and made lots of foul,
And we lost.

I was very good at layups, but not able to dunk. But can touch the ring.
Once by fluke I passed the ball from one end of the court to the next and it was a basket.

cystic fibrosis.
it affects the whole body,
but it kills with the lungs.
new oral meds are saving them.
otherwise it’s usually in their 20s.

I played basketball in high school. I rode the bench. 4/5th grade was my peak I practiced all day but stopped practicing and lost my magic
