I grew up in Lexington Kentucky, so college ball is my religion. A lot of my family played in college and my dad won a division 3 national championship (the lowest division of college ball but he'll still beat the tar out of any layman). I play with my brother a few times a week and have been getting my skill back from when I played a lot of pickup in high school. I'm not as slick as I used to be but I can throw dimes and have a nice jumper and everyone in the gym hates me for playing physical defense without fouling. I could beat anyone in here 1 on 1.

The NCAA tournament is happening right now and anyone who wants to get a feel for the game tactically and understand the particular psychic landscape of American college sports should absolutely watch

I also coached middle school basketball this year, also with my brother. A lot of fun and a genuine emotional roller coaster. I fucking love basketball and reuniting with it has ruined my life.

Ian vs The Kid

Can white men jump?

Who will prevail?

Is this worth betting on?

Is Ian fronting?

Is The Kid a live wire bolt of Dylan-obsessed lightning?

Both have 4 distinct signature profile spiels, everything is to play for and nothing to lose when it’s all in the spirit of the game

I'm guessing that playing basketball with nine or so mates is kinda comparable to playing five-a-side football which is something I've been doing a lot recently. As far as I'm concerned it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Football doesn't really have a one-on-one equivalent though sadly but you do have your duels in the game and it's fucking great having a battle with someone - he skinned me last time but I'ma get that cunt now... when you figure someone out who was beating and you have them in your pocket for the rest of the game it's just wonderful.

yea theres certainly a mental battle in it.... especially given that you run into a lot of the same people during pickup games.... this one guy i find myself in games with.... last time he was talking a lot..... i'd give him basket after basket that game and then he'd go at me with the ball saying im too small, or saying i cant shoot..... alright pal ive lit you up all game but whatever makes u feel better

When you say you give him basked after basket you mean you scored them?
But yeah I've been on a list for a five-a-side game on a Sunday and another on Thursdays and I suppose there are maybe twenty or thirty on those two lists so of course it's mainly the same people and you know who you work well with and who you have a good battle against - I don't do that piss-taking though cos it's a friendly, I might call someone a cunt if they tackle me but it's all in fun.

kid was temporarily dead from a heart attack, survived, deemed never to touch the basketball court again, and is now dropping damn near 40...... genuienly one of the greatest and most inspiring stories in sports history.....
