Learned. Dribble drive, kick it out, master the corner three. Saw guys doing it at a higher level and thought, that is pretty smart.
And that plus factor of getting it open and shooting it and just walking away while in the air, great feeling. SWISH.
They adjust but my rec center and practice it, and the walking away in midair. Really if one has the athletism, I could only make it in baseball to a very limited degree, is enjoyable to get up at 4 and hit the gym at five with no one there and practice.
So many people don't get it, practice. Sports, music, triathonls, never done the last one but could getting my body ready as have two parts down.
I can hit threes like a motherfucker. Learned the dribble drive after the fake and the soft shots. Prefer the running ones to the short stand up ones.
Is like one guy on the shroomery put it. You like drugs, I do at times, but competition is another high, thrill, rush. And when on a roll some talking. Is a lot of fun.
Just put a clock and some refs in. If not, one gets the shit beaten out of them physically. IME.

True Mass pride. That is the thing, time takes its toll, not preaching, but that spirit remains. I love that saying from the Big Labowski that the Coen Brothers based off a guy in L.A. Might be the laziest man alive. The dude.
Gets me up in the morning when I feel that lazy creeping in when aging as we all do. Actually stretch before playing. Used to look at my dad like why? Pull a hamstring that takes awhile to heal.
Life is interesting and I don't get why people complain about age, is just part of it. Mass. I think of Boston and Burr the comedian. It is so to the point and that pride. Celtics are looking good. Never shot off a floor like that, I like it.

Yeah. As a life long fan and endless hater of Spurs, have endlessly owned the Jazz thanks for it started with Manu as it makes sense with his career which in many ways in the NBA and elsewhere is definitely a HOF for the game of basketball.
Got to get better at making assumptions. Talked to a PA guy at a Y game in Provo with football and he just kept talking about the mountains which made me laugh. We call it happy valley here so don't know if you give a shit about it but they call it the same and don't know why.
But to basketball. If I start using it afraid of traveling calls as they call it often in rec leagues compared to the NBA which, is basically never. Free throws 75 percent but can get that up, not rushing it and routine.
Is amazing from Detroit bad boys to the Spurs and all their championships based on D now it is a team even putting up 150 in a game that is not an all-star one and that doesn't surprise anyone. On with the playoffs.
Will be interesting what the Lakers do after that play in game. I just want Memphis to lose, the new bad boys like Detroit.

Fanbase is strong, doesn't surprise me. Jazz are the same but no one drinks. Ainge is working his magic again here.
Just one championship. Been through the almost with Houston and the Bulls. Great basketball, but never win. Or the Utes against Kentucky up ten at half. Yes, I remember it.
Lilliard playd at Weber where my brother taught. Wasting his lcareer away in Portland.
Shit, my life is good. Just want the Jazz to win one in times to come.
This year, don't think Celtics get past the Bucks. Like them in the East. G.S. who the fuck knows? Sac has been impressive this year still long stretch a doubter.

Three's are automatic if open. Working on my driving floaters now as seeing so much of it in the playoffs. Not easy to master.
Gym has 6 hoops and says no dunking on the lower ones. I still do, lol as it is a rush and they know but they let me be. Maybe because I don[t hang on it. But I get the feel of a bricked three point shot and rushing down the rebound to a side hoop at full speed and dunking the shit out it.
Natural highs and artifical highs. Love them both but that is a rush.

That is how one does it. My respect. That eurostep was amazing and is more difficult then it seems to play it in with competition.
Go Denver tonight.

Gymrat but basketball is barely of interest to you? Each their own, maybe you meant football. Time to fly to Denver on Saturday.
G.S. and the city was amazing for their first. Going along that bridge on a bus, not S.F. then where everything is Tenderloin now.
Denver will have the same vibe and they will get game three. Four on the fence on. Time for some shrooming in Denver at the only place I know in the states that have one. Great food and bands at 10 a.m right next to where I will be lodging.
Denver is pretty cool to me. Three's are being mastered from practice. Top of the key and the side three. Will pass in to bigger men. That identify as such. Getting tired of woke crap. They call traveling as rec refs are not understanding of the eurostep.
Go Nuggets. Get a free trucker hat at the Rockies game. MLB. Suffering is watching that team.

I swear to you Ms. Mushalla. I will never post another "goofie" word on the shroomery, ever. This is like writing in College a paper and you, I must make my posts under your orders and likes and demands.
Nuggets won motherfucker. Try to understand that, you make life seem like shit. Not enjoyable.

What the fuck does that have to do with basketball? San Antonio would love to have him at 200 pounds. I apologize for interupting your post. What are you 5 foot 5?
Pull ups and pushups? What fucking sport are you conditioning for? Use that weight and work on a post game and three's if you can shoot them.

People don't play much of anything besides on a computer here. Ask about NBA2K.

Always end practice with a swish three point shot. My go to. I can drive but 5'8 I pay attention where the tree's are at.
That swish is like a positive momentum. Don't want to brick one and have that on one's mind. Perfect rotation, no rim, and just straight, SWISH!
One of the most beautiful sounds in the world.

Kicking ass. Perfect three swish. Perfect rotation on the ball. That was satisfying and a rush. Thought about learning the Euro step but am fine not doing so.
Old school.

Have my shots at corner threes and driving down. I like the indoors like watching Jazz game and playin basketball. 50 year they have here and not one chmpionship. Hakkeem the dream and Jordan the legend.
Ughh. I hate January. Yet I can hoop. Made ten three's in a row in game and in another game airballed a gaming winning shot.
Was so much better at baseball and played an all-star game at Dirk's field in SLC through an instructional league and I was good because I didn't drink and drug all day at that time when Bill Murray owned the team in SLC.
Went 0-2 in it. Point being I choke in the clutch. Not proud of it. I do a Starks in the Finals in a game 7. level.
