I have a love for the jumpshot as well. Houston had the perfect form. I must admitt that I learned to shoot from watching his mechanics. I always got by with my elbows out but by watching him I finally understood what my coaches were trying to tell me.

How bout that almost arrogant feeling you get when you get the ball in a spot that you know is your sweet spot. When that ball is swung your way you say to yourself "all freakin day!" and just nail it.

Yeah baby that beautiful rythmn. That ball is coming towards you. You are steping into it catching it and setting your feet at the same time. You bend your knees as your hands find the seems almost magically. As you begin to jump that ball is rising just above your eye level with that perfect form showing its evil head. at almost peak jump you begin to release at peak jump that ball is gone off the tips of your fingers.

Get back on D baby that's all freakin day!

Yes! Thats the best, when you release the shot and you know its good you just turn around right away, not even bothering to see your shot swish through. Thats bad-ass!!
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Wait... if its the game winner..remember the mike shot against russell..I don't know how many times i have done that, and not for show, I just always find myself leaving my hands in the shot formation especially when it's all net.

I never keep score. A lot of times the games end so fast you don't even realize the game is over and you hit the winning shot. I was never able to keep track of the score. That's like a gift or something.

Since it is the weakest part of my game I'll say I hate dribbling. Well not actually dribbling but the fact that your allowed to steal the ball.
(Forget this info if we ever play a game).
What I like best is still being able to play and recreate games from my hey day. Before I play now it is 2 advil before the game and a week of recovery time after.

Yeah nobody outside of Brooklyn knows what Utah is. I remember when I moved to NJ nobody had a clue about it on the playgrounds.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I hate when people on the court smell -- not just the fools that smell like BO, but also the fools who smell like hospital soap. Oh and another MAJOR annoyance is people who don't trim their nails. One minute you're driving the lane -- the next minute you look like you were attacked by Wolverine.

I love being a white boy with long hair that can ball. You never get respected at first. But the minute you do anything, you get way more respect than you deserve.

I hate playing with dudes that been in jail too long and think its ok to play ball without a shirt.

On the other hand I hate when dudes show up in a tournament jersey or all decked out in a matching Jordan suit and can't play for ****.
