I suck at hoops
Click to viewSo I finally got a chance to go on the court of the staples center. i was coming out of the bathroom and one of the Clippers interns was like, HEY DO YOU WANNA JOIN A CONTEST DURING ONE OF THE TIMEOUTS? I was like, got dam you ain't even gotta ax me!
So then during the timeout I got to go on the court and shoot FT's vs this other dude for a chance to win 50 bucks in staples gift cards.
Anyway, dude made 4. The announcer chick was like, man you totally got this.
I got up there and started late, I barely heard her when said, aaand GO!
So already a late start, I bricked so badly and didn't think about form or rhythm so I pretty much sucked. I eventually got a few to go and as the buzzer rang, the 4th shot went through, barely. I stopped shooting, all of a sudden I hear a roar from the crowd, and I was standing there, finally someone told me to keep shooting, it was actually the ball-boy haha. I was so confused I bricked another one. So I got jeered because I'm an idiot but in the end we both got the prize so it's all good.
Hope I get another chance but now I know how it feels to shoot on the court. Its tough because the glass backboard without a solid background, which I've never shot on. It's harder to keep an eye on the rim. And shooting from a rack from the FT line. I've done it from the 3-point line but not the FT line. Haha. Oh well, it was fun.
