bball

As much as I hate blocking the Jessica snatch pic, I'll post a rundown of the bball game last night. To start off, someone points out they have a 6-6 guy who played d2 ball. This doesn't fair well considering we have 2 high school varsity players and a bunch of stragglers. Nevertheless we get off to a hot start with the score being 2-2. That was as close as we would come. We were down by 9 at half time which still instilled some chance of hope. Then one player, who will be named later, has a wide open fast break layup and proceeds to pass the ball to me, who is BEHIND him and has a tendency to botch layups PLUS there is a defender between the two of us. Obvious turnover and this player is then asked/told to "get the fuck off the court." We'll call him "the quitter" from here on out. The quitter pouts on the sideline for the rest of the game. We don't score for probably the first 7 minutes of the second half and proceed to lose by 25, the last 8 minutes being garbage time. They were obviously the better team but if "the quitter" didn't shoot 0-7 to start and then quit, we could play them competitively. I gave the quitter the option not to be mentioned in this blog but he refused to concede to my demands thinking he did nothing wrong. He has a myriad of excuses but anyway I look at it, it's a losers mentality from someone who claims to be a winner. We are 1-2 now and play next Wednesday.

Edit* I just want to note the reason the quitter didn't take the wide open layup is because he was going to get fouled if he did and he doesn't take physical contact. If you know who I'm talking about please comment to show "the quitter" the public's perception of his attitude.
