i got up one sat morning and thought...i should call up Izzy and Jess and see if they want to go to breakfast. so i call em up..they're down for some grubbin'...and i head on over.

i get there, knock on the door, Izzy pops out, "uh, it's gonna be a few minutes"
of course it is
so i go sit in my truck in the apartment complex and just lounge. i look down the lot and notice this kid...can't be but 13-14 or so...decked out in basketball gear. i mean, like the head and wrist bands and all.

hmmm that's kinda odd looking.

watching this kid...he's got his basketball gear and a basket ball...and that's it. he warms up a bit...and then starts playing a full game of basketball! WTF?! no one else, no court, no NET..no nothing...just him and the ball!

Now when i said "a full game of basketball"...you didn't picture what i meant...i promise you! i mean a FULL court game! with other players on his team and against him!
he's running up and down the court, jukin' other players, passin' the ball, shooting the ball, missing his shots! (i wanted to scream at him when i watched him miss, "how could you miss that?? how can you be the suckiest player on your imaginary team??!!), get blocked, whatever! exactly what a game would look like if he had NINE OF HIS FRIENDS playing ball with him!

so I'm watching this and Izzy comes out,
"You ready to go?"
"uh...I'm..not sure. i think i want to finish watching this game.."
"what?"
So Izzy looks..just stares for a second and goes, "what the hell??"
So he asked again if i was ready...and we went ahead and bailed.

but i gotta say...i regret not watching the whole game. LOL with as much effort as this kid was putting into this, i REALLY wanted to see what happens when the games over and he wins! or hell...when he loses! what a site THAT would be! just walking away with his head hung in shame! would it happen cuz he missed the last shot? or would it have been a blow out? LOLOL the opponent imaginary team just turned out to be THAT much better then his imaginary team!

LOL

i told this to a bunch of co-workers over lunch...we were all laughing over it...and Neto pops up with, "Well, it could have been worse."
"yeah? how's that?"






"Coach could have benched him"
