I just returned from a butt kicking downstairs at the basketball court. There's this guy Skip who is amazingly good. Apparently he was star at New Mexico State (a Division 1 school) and tried out with the Atlanta Hawks before his knee blew out. Anyhow, he's maybe 29 or 30 now but he's still damn good. Of course the mere fact that i'm even on the same court with this guy sort of demeans the competition but there are some decent players at Avalon. Basically, he can hit from anywhere on the court. Avalon is only a halfcourt place so once you step in the main doors to the gym, you're within his shooting zone. It's sick. He's not really very tall but he's super fast and super quick and can jump pretty damn well too. And this is him not trying too hard, i'm sure he's even better against real competition. I have to guard him on occasion and really, it's like a toothpick (literally) versus a tank with rocket boosters. I love watching him play though because he's so smooth. Deep down inside, i would like to believe that i have the same sort of potential, waiting to be passed onto my offspring...ha...who am i kidding?
