Let's see where did i leave off diaryboy?
Saturday morning i went to my court for the first time in about 3 weeks, afterall its been hot and humid as hell and i had 2 choices over the last 3 weeks of hot ass humidity, go to the beach, or lay on an air mattress in the pool or the lake?.
The pool/lake option, won out everyday.
So i picked up the ball and took a shot from the top of the key and bamn it hit the back of the inside of the hoop and came flying back toward me, i drove toward the ball and without a thought i jumped up in preparation to dunk the ball.
Since i have never been able to dunk a ball on any full size basketball hoop i can only say that i was like one of those baby stallions who when they are first born are soon afterwards start kicking at the air in a "im gonna run my ass off" jesters. I took off from the ground and reached out and as i got up to the hoop the ball flew out of my hand and hit the top of the backboard or damn near did.
That was ok because my fingers went about 1/2 inch over the top of the rim. It felt good. I don't know when i got the IMMMP to get up that high off the ground but i have IT.
I jumped up without the ball and hung for a second from the rim. It felt good but i quickly realized that i might bend my rim so i let go but i know that i have join the elite, those special few who can jump high enough to grab the rim.
I spend the next 45 minutes are so trying to dunk the ball and i did do it a few times but i was jumping without dribbing and shit so they don't count.
I have no doubt that i will get in a dunk of 2 during a regular game soon.
