Intro

Wow, my first post on my new blog. The point of this blog is to chronicle my adventures in basketball, whatever those may end up being.

Basketball was my first love and even though I'm now 30 years old, married, and have to hold down a demanding job, I'm determined to stay in the game; whether that means city leagues, parks, rec centers, or wherever else I can find folks to hoop with.

Played in Dallas Hoop-It-Up and had a blast. We just didn't have enough practice together as a team (because we didn't have ANY practice!) to get alot of wins. We held our own though. The only team that beat us by more than 2 or 3 points was a team that looked like the Indiana Hoosiers and unfortutately had a dude that could shoot threes like Larry Bird. I don't think the guy missed a freakin shot from three point land. Ridiculous.

Anyway...this is just an intro post. We'll talk about Hoop-It-Up more later. It was hot as hell out there but still great fun. Next up is summer league with some fellows that I met at my gym. We're supposed to have a pretty good team, we'll see. I haven't played indoor full court, refereed basketball in a very long time. I'm a street ball guy. This ought to be interesting. Basketball without the wind, the scorching sun, the pavement??? What is this blasphemy?! Hehe. Well, we shall see.

Game 1 is coming up next week ( I think). I'm ready to hoop.

Peace out until next time...
